A small St. Marks omakase option where rolls—especially hand rolls—play best as the quick-hit comfort layer inside a more structured sushi progression. Worth it when you want a splurge in the neighborhood without the heavy ceremony of bigger-ticket counters.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive, especially after 6pm; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning dressy—jeans are fine, but elevated pieces fit the room better.
Noise level: Low to moderate—quiet enough for conversation, with some ambient counter energy during peak seatings.
Weekend wait: Reservation strongly recommended; walk-ins may wait 30–60 minutes or be turned away.
Weekday lunch: Typically no lunch service; for early weekday dinners, minimal wait with a reservation.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—can accommodate with advance notice, but the experience is fish-forward.
Vegan options: Very limited—not ideal unless pre-arranged and expectations are flexible.
Gluten-free options: Partial—sashimi-focused courses work best; soy sauce substitutions may be available on request.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you’re aiming for intimate and intentional. The setting encourages conversation and shared pacing, but it’s better for food-curious dates than casual hangs.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Occasionally at early seatings on weeknights, but reservations are the safe move due to the small room.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—best suited for adults who can sit through a structured omakase; there are no kid-focused options.
Best For
Better for: A neighborhood-level omakase splurge with approachable pacing and standout hand rolls that break up the meal nicely.
Skip if: You want a long, ceremonial omakase or a budget-friendly sushi night—larger counters or classic roll spots will fit better.
