A great omakase experience. Chefs here tend to do more appetizer dishes before they start serving sushi, and to me, that is what makes this place different from Ohshima. Attentive service. They are willing to work with you on splitting up sake into multiple portions. Omakase is on the pricier side but worth the experience
One of the most reasonably priced omakase options around town, although the price has increased since my first visit. Despite the change, considering the quality and variety of the food, it remains one of my top recommendations for omakase. There are two options available, and it's advisable to make a reservation, ensuring you're aware of your booking time as changes may not be possible afterward.
The sashimi quality is excellent, but what stands out the most are the surprisingly good appetizers—each uniquely customized. I appreciate their balanced and diverse flavors; it's a delightful experience.
I wish i could give more than 5 stars! This place was so amazing that we went back the next night! We felt like family as they knew exactly who we were just walking past the restaurant during the day before our 2nd visit! The food is the BEST and the service is the BEST!! I have been to Michelin star places and this place blew them out of the water!! Thank you for an epic 2 nights with you all! We will hopefully see you soon!!
Top notch sushi in a cozy atmosphere! The presentation was just as delightful as the flavors.
Love this restaurant and omasaka! Chef makoto is so good and made us very good omasaka.

A quaint sushi “bar” in Newport. They are very welcoming as all the staff greet you as you walk in. The short time I was sitting at the sushi bar...It was very apparent that this was a neighborhood restaurant that the locals love and frequent often.
I’ve been a few sushi restaurants in my time and yes the Omakase is the way to go. For those of you who have a love of sushi and adventure, this is a chef’s choice menu.
For me this experience like NO other sushi experience ever. Yes, the fish selection was excellent, the service was optimal and on point. But what makes me say that this was exceptional experience is that as soon as the sushi chef realized I was left-handed...he switched the sushi around so I was able to pick up the sushi with my chopsticks ease. Well only if you’re left handed would you appreciate this. And this is why I think this was THE best hands down. Don’t get me wrong the fish selection and all the extras were amazingly delicious. I’ll definitely be back when ever I visit.
Best sushi I have ever had. It was art on a plate, and I am excited to go back, words could not describe how good it was. The service and food were perfect!
This place is off the hook. If in Balboa please visit. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Can't say enough about this place. A hidden gem.
Very good food and service here. Quality of everything from the table setting to the sushi that was prepared was top notch. We left there very content with our choice for dinner and will return.
I did the omakase which consisted of 6 courses + the dessert. Quality of the food here is absolutely great! Very fresh ingredients and its very obvious how each dish is made with care. The presentation of the food is nice too.
