The menu feels and sounds like a fusion or modern take on Japanese cuisine.

Very modern feel.   Sort of the loud side.

Central bar with counter seating
Sushi bar with seating
Outdoor seating available
Plenty of tables and a few booths
Dining area is clean and roomy

Hostess and Server very welcoming.
Server – Jordan F was really personable, checking back and seeing if we wanted dessert.  She was informative giving us an explanation and description of a seasoning.
Food runner was quick and efficient.
*Staff is uniformed in black, giving the location a clean, modern feel, but also an air of aloofness, the atmosphere that is not the staff.

Dinnerware is clean.  Chopsticks are individually wrapped.  Napkins on table.

Brussels Sprouts ($10)
Came out nice and hot.  Slight crunch and a bit of heat.  Good balance of saltiness and heat.

Sea of Greens ($18)
Mixed seared Salmon and TunaPretty good fresh fish salad.  The proteins were seared so they retained the color and texture just beneath it.  Note you had a choice of tuna, salmon or a mix.  All this sat on top of a big bowl of spring greens, accompanied with sliced cucumbers and freshly diced avocados.  The dressing is sesame ponzu, so its fragrant and refreshing.  The chili garlic crisp added a bit of texture and flavor to the dish.
*only negative is the menu says it comes with rice crackers and lemon… mine did not  have either…the Expediter needs to make sure everything is done before it leaves the back

Saba Nigiri (Shime saba) $8.50c
onsidering its shime saba, I do not taste any hint of salt or tanginess.  The flesh was firm with no hint of fishness as you might find in shimeru.  They did a really good job with this.

I ordered Mussolini pasta. There is no taste, it just bland. $27 for this stir fried noodle is overpriced.

Chirashi don – very fresh.

Our Service was very slow. It wasn’t busy at all though

I had the lobster specialty hand roll. It didn’t have as much flavor as expected and it felt quite dry as I ate it. I also ordered the Sacramento Roll, which they had to make twice because for some reason the menu doesn’t list avocado as an ingredient. Nearly every other roll on the menu indicated whether it had avocado. I don’t eat avocado, so it needed to be remade without it. The Sacramento Roll also states “lobster” as an ingredient when it’s obviously imitation crab. Their payment terminal wouldn’t work with GPay, so I needed to go grab my physical card from the car. A man, I can only assume is the manager, suggested I leave a personal item behind “just in case”, implying I would dine and dash. I found it quite rude and insulting. Not my fault your pay terminal doesn’t work properly. Oh, and that specialty hand roll is way too expensive ($12.50) for the portion size, quality, and limited flavor. If anyone was scammed, it was me. The restaurant interior is neat and designed well at least.
