on Citysearch Mar 05, 2008One of my all-time favorites. I go back time and time again and am never disappointed. If you're looking for quality Japanese food; this place is #1. They have remodeled and the old place was really more inviting, but... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 27, 2007I heard from a few family members, who are not experienced diners, that this place was a five-star restaurant with Nobu quality food! They also included that it is pricey! Well, it is not of those things: * The sushi... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 27, 2006My wife and I hit the sushi bar once a week. We keep coming back because of the service and the sushi. If you ask them to do it a certain way, they will. Other sushi bars cannot compete with the spicy scallop roll. I... (more)
