Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Perfect for impressive first dates - stylish atmosphere, shareable plates encourage conversation, cocktails help break ice, but avoid weekend DJ nights when it's too loud
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weekday lunch and early happy hour (4-6pm) usually ok, but weekend dinner walk-ins should expect long waits - try the bar for faster seating and full menu
Is it kid-friendly? Better for teens than young children - no kids menu, sophisticated atmosphere, weekend DJ nights definitely adult-focused, but weekday early dinners manageable
Best For
Better for: Scene and cocktails - if you want sushi plus nightlife vibes, this beats traditional sushi bars. The Nikkei fusion offers unique flavors you won't find at typical Japanese spots
Skip if: You're a sushi purist seeking authentic omakase or want a quiet, intimate dinner - try Sushi Park or Matsuhisa instead for traditional excellence
