A gem of a restaurant in a city that serves mostly Savoyard dishes and french specialties! Although lovely, it was great to see this sushi restaurant open the whole day, even at 3pm when we needed a late lunch after just getting back from aguille du midi! 💖 It was literally a lifesaver!
I had the pleasure of meeting the sushi chef in action, who's won accolades for his incredible work! Truly, the Salmon Aburi is more than testament enough for his mastery of the craft. It was nothing like other sushi stores make the mistake of the most: too much rice and too little fish!
Although the chirashi and sushis were great, the ready-to-eat plates were just pretty ok, and is far from authentic Japanese. The Karaage, although enjoyable, was drenched in too much tonkatsu sauce.

The overall quality goes far beyond the fast food look. Highly...
Read moreI ordered food to go and ordered one of their matcha tirmamisu to go because I saw a picture of it and that’s what I was most looking forward to. Ordered food to go and when I ordered my dessert with other food there were 2 of the desserts left. When it was time to pick up my order, they told me they didn’t have anymore and gave away my dessert to people that ordered after me. The guy didn’t even say sorry until I asked why it wasn’t pulled aside and barely cared. Awful service. Also no chopsticks or soy sauce. We also ordered one of the curries and it was missing. We also ordered 10 piece sashimi and only got 9. Really just absolutely...
