The sushi was fresh and excellent. Highly recommend the fatty tuna. Happy Hour is from 5-7 and has great cocktails and appetizers to choose from. Had the filet mignon potstickers, garlic edamame, and Singapore tempura rock shrimp which are all on HH menu. The Geisha-Rita was very tasty too. Worth bringing friends and checking out this Asian Fusion spot.

Thank you for the amazing review, Alex! We are excited to have you back soon!

My husband and I made a Saturday night reservation through OpenTable for our anniversary. Gorgeous design, energetic ambiance, awesome DJ, good food, but service was seriously lacking. It felt like we were waiting and waiting to get a glimpse of our server just so we could order more beers/cocktails. We waved down runners and other servers asking if we could put in a drink order through them, and they told us we could only place drink orders through our server. Pathetic operation. Food came out slow too. Additionally, it se... read more

Fun vibe upon entering. The restaurant is dim with lively music playing. Comfortable booths to sit in while watching the open kitchen. We started with the rangoons, they were tasty! Then shared the small sushi sampler. It came with 3 rolls and 6 pieces of nigiri. Would definitely go back when visiting the area again!

Thank you for the awesome review, Kristen! We are excited to have you back soon!

Came in on a whim after walking 5th St looking for something other than bar food. The space is beautiful, the food and drinks are great, and the team is nice. Tegan behind the bar is wonderful. Give it a shot.
