8.5
A minimalist hand-roll bar in the Flatiron/Chelsea edge that prioritizes nori crispness, warm rice, and fast, made-to-order temaki. The sourcing and technique feel elevated for the format, and the set menus keep pacing tight without sacrificing variety. It’s higher-end hand-roll dining that stays casual in tone.
Must-Try Dishes:
Temaki handroll set, Uni toro grab roll, Seared scallop temaki
