The commercial main street and store front may have you questioning " am I in the right spot?" The interior of the restaurant is plain as can be and you are not paying for ambience, thats for sure. This place is expensive and so so well worth it. It really really is...I cannot stress enough. I am excited to go back to Honolulu just to dine there again. The omakase is a delight because the chef chooses to give you what is freshest of the day and it is well prepared. The restaurant and staff hold very high standards which you as a customer come to appreciate. I had some sushi combinations I have never tasted before and I did follow how to eat it to experience it the way it should be. The flavor does come out as the chef had planned and it was pleasantly surprising. Every different piece was finished off with a long MMMMMM. Could the next mouthful get any better? It did and so on until the end. Great sushi has the texture of melting in your mouth because of the high fat and oil content of the fish. I was actually full after the meal and found it most satisfying. Now when I eat sushi elsewhere I find that it is empty and what I need to fill me up is rice. You leave thinking " damn that was the best sushi ever"
Pros: Very fresh sushi, delicious, worthwhile
Cons: Not a romantic place, small and seating is rather close to each other
