    Went in for a quick drink(lychee martini) and tried the hand rolled tuna with jalapeno. Both the drink and the rolls were amazing. Absolutely coming back to try out the omakase.

    Ordered on grubhub delivery, I called the restaurant to find out what was going on because the driver said it was taking 30 minutes but then another 15 minutes. I have ordered from the restaurant a few times and it never took that long so I knew something was wrong. I called and the general manager was very accommodating and explained that another driver from a 3rd party delivery app took the bag without checking the name. The restaurant remade my order and had one of their drivers deliver it to me. I was very appreciative of this, awesome place.
