This is the first time trying this place. I got the 20 Piece Oshizushi box. At first I thought that it was a bit pricy for the size 🤔 but I changed my mind quick after I tried it. 🤯 It’s beautiful crafted and presented. Really exquisite and meticulously put together. Its beauty was only surpassed by its flavor. Delicious. The sushi chef here really knows his stuff 💯. If you really like sushi I recommend trying this at least once. They didn’t tell me what was in it though so kinda sad. I had to guess what I was eating and what was in it. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day, not sure. So no description of what was in there, I ordered 2.5 hours in advance but the order was not ready at the scheduled time (about 15 mins late), the person at the window did not offer to bring the order out to me or call to let me know it was ready. Plus it was raining pretty good so not fun to wait outside or go back and forth to check on the food. It is presently only window service so no shop to enter and look around. A few things to be aware of 1) there is only a small bench outside so I wouldn’t plan on eating there [edit] since I first posted this they added two additional small tables and chairs 2) it is primarily street parking so you may need to hunt for a bit to find a stall if it’s busy. 3) if you order online be prepared to wait for your order as it may not be ready at the scheduled time. But the sushi is...

Visiting from Belgium. My two star review is from the customer service side mostly. My bowl was very tasty and fresh, I ordered the Aburi bowl. (Portions are a bit small ) My husband wanted the spicy dynamite bowl but they refused to do it without the rice. My husband doesn’t like rice and he woudlve thrown it away. First he asked if they could just add in a bit more cabbage and they said no. So he then asked just do it without the rice and was also told no. A guy was taking the order and had to ask the lady in the back constantly about the changes. She then came up a little aggressively and said no the chef says the rice has to be in the dish and no changes can be made. ( she was the one making the bowls). She was not apologetic and over spoke with little room for listening. My husband then decided to just do a custom bowl which he was not pleased with at all. We travel allll over and never came across a poke place that would not accommodate their customers especially when it comes to food waste. This for us is unacceptable. Shame really, I hate leaving these reviews especially when I found my bowl to be good. I...
