Went there for my birthday dinner! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Our chef was so happy to tell us all about each piece and the fish themselves. The food was melt in your mouth delicious. Each course was interesting visually and on the palette. I love that they show you pictures of what the fish look like that each course comes from. They also tell you about where the fish is sourced and the seasonality. I’m plotting bringing my fellow sushi lovers. - Ozra Karkehabadi
