This has been one of my favorite sushi experience of the year. We opted for the omakase (chef’s choice) and it was phenomenal.

I am excited to try more dishes from this place! Also, got to meet Jim, which made my day.

I had walked in thinking this was more comfort/ budget- level sushi prices but price-wise, it was similar to t
