This place was absolutely wonderful. I'll have to come back and upload some photos but everything about this place (minus the parking and outside bathroom) was perfect. It's a fairly small place giving it a very intimate feel.I had ordered the omakase and the chef was kind enough to ask of any dietary restrictions and preferences! I hate green onions and I've heard other customers say no pork, etc. The food was absolutely amazing and I could not be happier with my meal.The service was outstanding. The entire staff including the chef was very attentive and friendly.For those interested in the omakase it was 7 appetizers before the main dish (nigiris) as well as dessert. I would also recommend having reservations.Some dishes we had were A5 waygu beef, grilled barracuda on seared fois gras, live shrimp, and almond panna cotta.I'll definitely be coming back here.Update: 4 years later and it's still my favorite place.
If I could give this place ten stars I would. Absolutely life changing sushi. Service is topnotch! We did the omakase ten course menu and sat at the bar. It is absolutely worth the reservation wait. We celebrated my birthday late just so we could eat here. Restaurant only seats maybe 16-20. The quality of food is phenomenal. Even the miso soup is mind-blowing! If you like sushi and amazing service, you must try this at some point. Cannot say enough great things about it. We will definitely be back.
A very unique experience. I got to try a lot of Japanese dishes that I’ve never tried before. I really enjoyed the wagyu steak,sweet shrimp, crab, sashimi, and eel dishes. I highly recommend this excellent dining experience.
Delicious! Very nice dining experience. Hard to get reservations and small space with excellent service.
Impressive array of the best ingredients unavailable in most Japanese restaurants in the US prepared in different styles
If you are in costa mesa and you love Japanese food you must try it .A Michelin ⭐️ restaurant with omakase menu you wont go wrong .
Delicious omakase! I think the price rose quite a bit but the dishes were very delicious, prepped with care. Definitely revisiting when I can. I think the dessert was slightly lacking but still was above average!
Amazing dining experience… every dish was a work of art and explosion of flavor and fresh fish…perfect date night
This place is amazing. Every dish is really fresh.
Amazing experience.Food is fresh and delicious. Definitely will come back again ?
