What makes it special: High-energy, cocktail-heavy Japanese-fusion dining built for celebrations.
Who should go: Groups planning birthdays, pregame dinners, or flashy nights out.
When to visit: Weekend evenings when the room and bar are fully buzzing.
What to order: Chef’s sushi platter, one or two house specialty rolls, rock shrimp.
Insider tip: Request a larger table or booth if you’re planning a longer celebration.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only, limited and competitive after 6pm; plan extra time or use rideshare for weekend dinners.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy; jeans are fine but expect heels, button-downs, and nightlife-ready outfits.
Noise level: Loud and buzzy during peak hours — conversation is possible but you’ll lean in at night.
Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation during peak evening hours
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or under 10 minutes
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — avocado rolls, vegetable tempura, edamame, and several veggie-forward starters.
Vegan options: Limited — basic rolls and a few sides work, but labelling is inconsistent so you’ll need to ask.
Gluten-free options: Some sashimi and rice-based dishes work, but cross-contact is possible due to shared prep areas.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for confident, outgoing first dates — the lively room and cocktail atmosphere add energy but aren’t ideal for quiet getting-to-know-you conversations.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible on weekdays or early evenings, but weekends often require a reservation unless you’re willing to wait at the bar.
Is it kid-friendly? Early evenings can work with older kids who enjoy sushi, but late-night hours skew adult and party-oriented.
Best For
Better for: High-energy group dining, birthdays, and celebratory nights where cocktails and atmosphere matter as much as the food.
Skip if: You want quiet, traditional Japanese dining, omakase-level sushi precision, or low-key solo meals.
