Sushi was very fresh even turned a friend on to it for the first time. Dumplings and chicken screws were good as well. Highly recommend this place. I took out next time will dine in.

Came in for lunch at 1:45, it says online that it closes at 2:30, the waiter when approached me said that they are closing at 2pm on which I said it says 2:30, then she said kitchen closes at 2 is that enough time for you? I said I can order in 5 min. After she came to take my order I asked about one of the dishes and she wasn’t able to explain properly or didn’t want to and just rushed to ordering it. After I was done, nobody cleaned my table and brought me check asking to pay first, I wasn’t offered ice cream at the end as other customers which is included in lunch specials! They moved forward on having they own lunch.

The place used be good until 3 years ago but now, the quality of food and taste has gotten worse than ever. 7 of our members spend almost $500 and we, as Korean-American know the taste of sushi and sashimi and we all agreed on one thing that we would never come back to this restaurant. We could get the better sushi & sashimi from other sushi places for the less than a half price and for the better quality.

Decent sushi spot given it’s in Fort Lee.Not the best omakase but pretty fresh fish. Sushi rice is not bad as well. Price is like some other omakase places in nyc but to skip the tolls it’s not a bad place to get sushi!

It's too bad. I came on Saturday at about 12 noon and there were 3 seats at the sushi bar and two tables open and the "greeter" told me there were no seats for me. The single diner at the end of the sushi bar had already ordered and was eating and he told me 2 other people were joining her. And he said that the tables were reserved. I went back to my car and took a phone call and over the next 30 minutes one couple left and one couple entered.It's too bad. There food is very good, but I will never be back. I guess the greeter does not understand the life value of a customer. Who knows, maybe it was the owner.

What a pleasant surprise. The sushi was great, comes at a reasonable price. I would go back to try their omakase. Need to make a reservation to ensure a spot. My friend called two days earlier and while we were dining we saw a couple being turned away because the tables were all booked. Speaks to the level of popularity of the restaurant.

Food was amazing. Service was on pointSea urchins with raw quail egg was creamy and delicious ?

Authentic Japanese food in Fort Lee

Cozy environment with tasty spicy scallop rolls and a la carte sushi. Would like to come back for the Omakase menu!

Good food and the polite service. Sushi no excellent but the rest was good.
