- milestone birthday buyout
We recently celebrated a milestone birthday here and hired the whole counter! It was SO fun! The food is delicious, staff is so fun and the entire experience was great! Looking for an excuse to go back soon!
- birthday full buyout
came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and reserved the entire restaurant. LOVED the ambience, the staff were so fun to hang out with! had the time of our lives, food was great, and even had a karaoke sesh! i’ve never been to such a hyped up omakase restaurant, def would consider this for my birthday! only wished we saw the menu first so we could look at what we were getting! they were super accommodating w allergies, helped us out with pictures, knew all the hit karaoke songs for our group. extremely friendly and fun staff!
- group buyout dinner, party of 16
Came here with a group of 16 so has the entire place to ourselves. Have to say, even after years of living in NYC, this is definitely one of the best dining experiences I have had. The food and service was impeccable. So much fun!!!
- coworker group outing
Love...love...loved this place! Delicious food, great music, fun and interactive chef's and servers. I just wish it kept going. I went with a group of friends. We had an amazing time. The surprise of it all and the presentation of the dishes were so unique and elevated the meal. If you're planning on going, pick a fun group of friends to join you. The vibe at the bar is lively, upbeat and fun. IF you choose the right group to join in on this experience it'll be even better. Its a dark speakeasy atmosphere. One of the servers even did karaoke - and we sang along (not corny). My coworker set this all up and strategically invited the max amount of people to reserve the bar table so that it would be exclusive for us and we all had a great time...it helps that we're a vibrant group and had unlimited sake 😀
- group omakase seating
As much as I wanted to like this place because the staff were so sweet, the experience really falls short. If you are a foodie, this is not the place, I wouldn’t recommend this place, they serve generic sushi that any other sushi place serves. The hype is really the “party” atmosphere, the staff gets drunk with the costumers, however the issue with that is the hygiene also declines. Our chef had gloves on, but he was also touching and grabbing costumers, grabbing the music iPad, passing the iPad to the costumers to select their music, placing the iPad on top of the cutting board, then coming back to make your food. By the last 2-3 courses he no longer had gloves on and still serving food. Which caused me to get sick They also didn’t have any beverages other than sake beer and tap water. Because everyone is somewhat drunk, they pretty much allow other costumers to harass each other. A group of men were grabbing and touching a group of females, and they were clearly uncomfortable. But staff was just laughing it off. The experience was pretty cringy and underwhelming.
