I’m new to Japanese food and afraid of squid and other things that look like they moved. I loved this place. They were very understanding, the atmosphere was great, and they had chicken . :)

They do some modern sushi , but get the classics right too. Go to for sushi , haven’t tried anything else here but still satisfied. Also head to Jenis next door for dessert :D

The summer and green turtle roll are excellent, if you're anti sushi the beef wrapped asparagus (not sure of name) and chicken teriyaki are delish. Order the TY KU Soju instead of vodka ... yum!

Shishito Peppers are great. Better atmosphere than most sushi spots . Not the best in the city but I go there often given its close.

DKH Creative

We normally would advise you get something more exotic than teriyaki chicken - but the teriyaki chicken is just so good. So get it - along with oyster shooters , rolls, sake ... in short : come hungry.
