    This new restaurant is for sure a must try. Everything here is delicious! Definitely try one of their crafted cocktails as well as the Roast Duck Breast with Orange Miso & the Uni-Crusted King Crab. Read more

    Munch on stunning eats like fried chicken karaage, creamy rock shrimp tempura, and spicy salmon maki; then wash it all down with a few seasonal martinis or hot sake and ice cold Japanese beers. Read more

    The elegant interior is a stunner, and the food is seafood-forward, delicate and creative. Head there for an omakase dinner with wine pairings from operations manager and sommelier Ricky Cheung. Read more

    Ricky is a fantastic host-- always ready with food, wine and (my most recent) Japanese whiskey recommendations! Sit at the sushi bar-- interacting with Chef and team is best experience! Food amazing!

    The Kuu Roll is the best roll you will ever taste. I'll put it up against anyone - simply the best - Cary Michael Cox

    Pretentious without being amazing. But do get dessert, because you should experience semi-fluid gel for yourself.

    "Moderately cheap" is inaccurate. It's tapas style sushi with each plate $16-20. Plan for a large bill. That being said, it was delicious.

    Great sushi, in my view better than Uchi. Try Hamaccio, Toban yaki, Kanpaccio, Hamachi nigiri.

    The Kanaccio is a must! Their signature roll "Kuu" is really good as well.

    Everything I had lacked a little flavor. The Uni was tasty but the rest of my nigiri (ikura, fatty salmon and hamachi) were bland. The same can be said for my cold dish and makemono.

    Monday happy hour rocks, so as the collection of Hitachino beer.

    The duck is extremely small. I was served four pieces on a big plate. The food covered less than half the plate.
