"Wow, I’m still speechless! From the moment you walk in, you’re transported to a high-end NYC or LA vibe. The decor strikes the perfect balance between elegant and cozy. As for the food—this is hands-down the best sushi I’ve ever experienced. Between the incredible cocktails and the perfect playlist, the atmosphere was unmatched. If you go, make sure to request Emily; she is a total star who knows the menu inside and out and provides world-class service. We celebrated my daughter’s 24th birthday there, and that Butter Cake is an absolute must-try. This was my first visit, but it definitely won’t be my last. I can't wait to go back!"

"From the service to the food, 10/10 experience. My partner usually doesn’t like raw food, but we got the bluefin sashimi and the watermelon addition was the cherry on top. We both loveeeedd it!! Also got the miso soup, gyoza, chili cucumber, lobster California and tempura shrimp roll, and the beef n bop sizzling rice. When we were leaving we stopped and got the soft serve. Unfortunately they were out of the matcha, but the Ube was really good too. We will definitely be back!!"

"Very good place to get some delicious sushi in 12 South. Great atmosphere with lots of options for food and drinks. Service was very good, be prepared for a serious wait if you don't make a reservation (at least on the weekends). We went off-season on a Friday and there was a long wait. Highly recommend a reservation if you want to try this place, that being said, it is worth it. Great experience. Outdoor window for ice cream has extremely fast service and the ice cream was very good."

"Came here with high hopes for the sushi, and while it wasn’t bad… it was definitely pretty mediocre. The rolls were okay, but nothing really stood out or made me go “wow.” If you’re coming strictly for top-tier sushi, this might not be the place that blows you away. HOWEVER — the drinks and the vibes?? Absolutely top tier. The cocktails were amazing, well-balanced, and honestly the highlight of the night. Will definitely try again and give them a second chance. This feels more like a spot you go to for a chill night out rather than a sushi-focused dining experience. I’d totally come back for drinks with friends, or a night where vibes matter more than food. Our waiter was amazing, compared to the very dull welcoming of the hosts . They have to go option but it is to the side where you also can get ice cream ."

"We first heard about this spot a few months ago after visiting La La Land Cafe and had it bookmarked ever since. When we saw their grand opening pop up on Instagram, we knew it was time—so we headed over for a Saturday lunch. We arrived around 1:30 pm just as things were starting to buzz. Fortunately, we were seated right away, and by 2 pm the place was completely packed. The interior was cozy yet spacious, with a relaxed, welcoming vibe that we immediately enjoyed. Here’s what we ordered: Asahi Cold Draft Crisp, icy, light, and incredibly refreshing. Exactly my kind of beer. Sake Bomb with Asahi Draft The yuzu sake really made this—bright, citrusy, refreshing, and smooth with a little kick. We loved it. Bluefin Chili Ponzu Sashimi A server recommendation and an absolute standout. Beautifully presented, with fresh, tender bluefin that melted in our mouths. The chili sauce added heat and texture, the watermelon brought a touch of sweetness, and the scallions tied everything together with a subtle aromatic note. Complex, balanced, and brilliantly executed. Wagyu Tartare Crispy Rice (3 pcs) Perfect bite-sized pieces. The rice was crispy and lightly charred, adding great texture, while the Wagyu was rich, well-seasoned, and buttery. The perilla leaves elevated the dish with a lovely aromatic finish. A favorite for sure. Torched Salmon Nigiri (2 pcs) Juicy, tender salmon with just the right amount of char. The yuzu soy sauce added a savory citrus boost that complemented the fish beautifully. BBQ Beef Lettuce Wraps So many great elements working together. The BBQ beef was juicy, tender, and deeply savory. The miso sambal brought a subtle heat, while the cilantro and winter melon noodles balanced everything out. Wrapped in crisp lettuce, each bite was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Overall, we had a fantastic lunch and genuinely loved everything we ordered. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back to try their maki, hand rolls, and more nigiri—can’t wait to return."
