    Absolutely melt in your mouth delicious! Each "course" was a work of art which was beautiful to look at an the flavors blended so well. Whether it was the freshest piece of tuna torched with a glaze or a soup with eel, this place is special. Chefs and staff alike know how to make you feel welcome, comfortable and relaxed so you can enjoy a fabulous meal.

    Besides the food being outstanding, the service and staff make this a truly special experience. A very intimate setting where you are able to create a fun, energetic relationship with the chefs and staff... even if only for an evening. If you are a fan of omakase, you will not be disappointed. Delicious. We will absolutely return

    IMO, this is the best omakase in Philadelphia! While I haven't tried every single spot in the city, I've had many Omakase experiences, but the creativity, execution, and uniqueness of each course here was truly amazing. I loved every bite but, quite honestly, the lobster tail with miso was the best lobster I have ever had. The service was excellent, and the reserve sake trio paired perfectly. As a bonus, I was able to snag a seat upstairs at Almanac for a fantastic cocktail afterward. Highly, highly recommend!

    For anyone considering going: I was asked how I liked the meal, so I mentioned that some of the sauces felt overly sweet or salty to me. The response was, “Here is something special about our restaurant. We touch on all ways of cooking, keep that in mind.” I’m perfectly fine with not loving every course of an omakase. But if you’re going to ask for feedback, responding to it by essentially telling the customer how they should appreciate the food is… an interesting choice after a $250 meal. Worst experience ever with Omakase.

    Everything was delicious and the experience was cool. Sadly, $200 and leaving hungry was not what I had in mind. My friend and I ended up getting pizza and fries after.
