We’re thrilled to welcome guests back to join us for dinner! Our dining room is now open for dinner daily from 5-10 p.m. with a special $75 Sushi Kaiseki course and a la carte nigiri.

We’re putting the safety of our guests and staff first and foremost by practicing social distancing, wearing masks, sanitizing often, using disposable single-use menus, and making hand sanitizer available to everyone.

We continue to offer our sushi for takeout and delivery (UberEats, GrubHub, Caviar) for lunch and dinner for those who want to enjoy our sushi at home.
