Had a reservation here on Friday at 5:30 for counter service and we got the corner, which was great since we got to see all of the dishes being brought out to the tables and gave us an idea of what people were eating. We had ordered the omakase ($155 pp) with one order of the uni add-on ($45) to share along with several other additions, which we added throughout our meal up until 30 mins of our seating (2 hour limit). We both ordered tea, which came in different pots and we noticed the variety of tea pots they had that all looked fantastic! The omakase dinner comes with 3 appetizers, 19 piece Nigiri, and a soup to end up. This is a pretty good amount of food but we also added on a Chawanmushi (wife's favorite), 3 additional Nigiri, and the ice cream to finish off and we were beyond stuffed but it was all so worth it! My wife wanted me to add that the first appetizer could have done with some added texture to it, something like jellyfish may have been a good compliment. We really liked the tempura and it really blew us away with the taste and texture. The Kinki was also pretty amazing and had an excellent texture and wasn't oily/buttery as we were fearing and had great balance. . The nigiri came out one at a time with around a 3-5 lag between pieces so nice to be able to enjoy them (recommended with your hands and they give you a nice finger towel as well) and have a bit of conversation with some drinking in between before the next one came. They were all excellent pieces and it wasn't an easy 'better as you go' type of experience, which I love. Each piece was well selected to bring your taste experience through a journey. The chefs were very talkative and interacted with us throughout the meal along with the wait staff. I love uni and was really excited for the uni set that we ordered and they had a few different types/regions with two of them being brined in their own salt water, which gave them an interesting twist that you don't experience much. Overall they were enjoyable but didn't quite hit the quality we were expecting. Our add-on Nigiri were all excellent, with two of them being recommended by the staff, the hairy crab and the steamed prawn. Both were really great but my wife's favorite was the amaebi. She rated that Nigiri as the best out of everything we ate with the chanwanmushi coming in a close second. Overall, one of our best sushi experiences in the states.

Second time coming here and it was another great experience. Service from both the chef and the waiter/waitress was amazing and the food was spectacular. The omakase had a great variety of nigiri that were very unique and introduced me to different fish/shellfish I would typically not try otherwise. Some of the nigiri served included mackerel, pen shell clam, medium fatty tuna, salmon, and more. They all tasted very fresh and it was amazing being able to try them and compare them to one another. As an addition, there was the uni tasting platter including 5 different uni ranging from Santa Barbara to different regions in Japan. The. uni were quite distinct from one another and it was a very enjoyable experience. I would recommend coming here if given the opportunity!

The South-bay Omekase on the top of my list Love the fusion Omakase that Chef Jin and his team present. The appetizers are full of creativity, and the presentation is undoubtedly next level! The restaurant is low-key in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking spots. This has become our go-to sushi place in South Bay. Make a reservation before you go-- the sushi counter only serves two rounds per night, and each table reservation is at 30-minute intervals. Total capacity is less than 30 people at a time!

The first time we visited was july 2022 during their soft opening, we've been semi regulars ever since. Their omakase is great but the best part is you have the option to order a la carte (fish selection includes harder to find pieces like nodoguro and akagai) and they have quite a few cooked dishes also worth trying. by far best omakase in south bay and it's very reasonably priced. service is super sweet and they always let you try a few sakes before deciding on what you want.
