Nice place for some sushi downtown. Parking can be tough to find since it is downtown, but there should be some street parking. There might be a wait, especially as this place gets busy at night, so it wouldn’t hurt to call or reserve. Nice little cozy atmosphere, but can feel a little cramped. There are a lot of rolls to choose from and they all taste pretty great. Can’t go wrong with anything. When it’s busy service might take a while, so be prepared for that, otherwise waitstaff is pretty nice. Not super overpriced for the value and portions. Overall some good sushi in a nice central location. Worth eating on a night out.

The sushi we had here was tasty. We couldn't see what the Latin twist, but maybe we didn't choose those particular menu items. Good quality sushi well presented, but I thought expensive compared to elsewhere. Their happy hour menu (before 5.30pm and after 9pm looked good value for money though

Went for dinner here and absolutely loved the place. The decor and service was great. Tried the garlic short ribs which were good. I took the green tea sour whiskey based cocktail and that went well with the short ribs. My wife took the lucky seven sushi(which is 7 premium cut sushi of chef's choice) of which she liked the yellow tail the best. I had taken the Scorpio sting which was really good and I highly recommend it. In the desert we took the cheese cake which is also something I would recommend and definitely come back for. All in all it was a great experience and would definitely come back again.

Great place for fusion Japanese. Their specialty rolls are innovative and full of fun flavor combinations.This isn't my choice for traditional sushi or sashimi experience, but rather a great place for new and fun presentations and blends of flavors.Service here was great. Friendly and attentive.

We ordered via DoorDash to our hotel. The food was hot and delicious! The sushi was fresh and the sushi rolls were large.good value.

Don’t waste your money! Way overpriced for what you get. The tempura vegetables and shrimp were just okay, the short ribs not so much. The short ribs portion was slight to say the least and for 16$ each we were expecting more for sure!

We had a great server to take care of us. A friend of mine was visiting from the UK and the food made the get together enjoyable. Food can be pricey here and it seems prices have gone up rather significantly lately. Inflation could be the cause.General food quality and freshness of the fish was fantastic.

Their omakase was pretty solid, the fish was really high quality. I definitely recommend their happy hour if you have the chance. We had a big party and our wait was reasonable while the restaurant was busy. We had a great time would come again!

Super fresh sushi rolls. Great variety with a flare of Latin. Seemed a little pricey compared to other sushi we've had in our travels but on par with Downtown Seattle pricing. I'd eat here again for sure.

Good food. Expensive...... Sushi with a twist!! If you go plan to spend some time trying to find parking. Best advice, pay for parking. We did and it was only $6.The food was good, different but very tasty!
