We 5 people ordered omakase. We enjoyed a lot. The head chef will introduce each by each. He treated us  with patience especially we have elder people.

I still find it difficult to appreciate the subtle differences between the various kinds of raw fish. There are nuanced differences in texture, however, I don’t feel as if I’m given much of an opportunity to appreciate it. Additionally, a lot of the fish is a lot more tender than they would originally be because they make intentional cuts to make them extra, tender, such as including some cross hatched cutting.

The smoked tuna, with Yuzu miso dressing was over hyped. I will concede that it does appeal well to the Instagram generation, the dressing hides the true nature of the fatty tuna, making it very difficult to appreciate. The gold leaf and the caviar garnish tells me that this dish was especially made to appeal to the Instagram generation and not for those who want good sushi.

The number one thing I appreciate about omakase is absolutely the complete attention to detail and appreciation for their craft. Personally, I enjoy the time to think, and reflect upon myself. Additionally, I really like having a dining experience where an electronic device not only is unnecessary, but also feels inappropriate for the environment. It made me think about the nature of the omasake restaurant. It is now very different from what it was originally conceived as. In the beginning, this type of restaurant was made for drunk adults, behaving like children, asking the restaurant, proprietor to take care of them, much like their mother would. In these circumstances, the customer would be completely oblivious to the extra attention to care, and the craftsmanship involved in running a restaurant and preparing food for the customers. In its modern interpretation, the inherent trust between the customer and the restaurant is maintained. However, the appreciation for the skill and the care provided has changed drastically.

Inexperienced and not friendly chef, overcooked and over vinagared rice, sushi temp wrong, environment messy, eating amongst delivery boxes, very old decor, needs renovating. Avoid.

Very good sushi and good price too.  Staff and sushi chef are friendly. Will visit again :)

Very good service, food above average, can give it a try. Very small place so better to book before.
