Decided to treat ourselves by making a reservation here and were blown away by the food. Perfect portions that leave just enough room for dessert! The wagyu gyoza was absolutely mouthwatering and a group favorite that night. Everything was delicious and we would definitely come again!

This restaurant was by far the most racist experience Ive ever had as a black man at a restaurant. The waiter was rude and loud. He stereotyped and belittled my fianc and me. He treated us as if we were uncivilized. He talked over us continuously when asking questions, and wouldnt allow us to order what we wanted. Our drinks took 15 mins, the food took very long, and were brought to the table one at a time (10-12 mins apart). He did not refill our water and brought the check without verifying if we were done or ready to go. We witnessed the waiter provide courteous, patient, and professional service to a non-black couple sitting at the next table from us. He introduced himself and did not talk over them. Their drinks were promptly delivered, and their food arrived on time and together. He continuously filled their water and checked on their table. The waiter treated them with the utmost respect and value. A complete opposite of the service he provided us. The disrespect went further to the extent that when we told him we were through eating, he loudly insisted we take the leftovers to go. We told him we were good, but he disregarded it. He incessantly tried to subjugate us to take the leftovers home more than six times obnoxiously in a condescending tone. By far the worst and most racist experience weve ever experienced. We hurriedly got out of there. If you are a person of color, please beware of this restaurant. Spend your money elsewhere!

I want to start by saying that the staff there were all very professional and our waiter was extremely helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and their sushi and sashimi were super fresh, which is a major factor for good quality seafood. There is no complaint about it. However, even for a big city like LA, the price for what you get is still crazy. $55 for Sushi Moriawase and the same price for Sashimi Moriawase? Please see my pictures and you be the judge. Whats even more outrageous was the fried rice with Wagyu Beef and it was $56! Yes, on the menu it clearly indicated that with Wagyu Beef +34. That means the fried rice itself is $22. Again, please see my picture and youd understand my puzzlement. I totally agree that the food is fresh and outstanding. But for this price? No, we wont be back.
