" Chef Billy is a superstar! He brings a lively atmosphere to the culinary experience with his jokes and engaging storytelling. The dishes are phenomenal, particularly the toro and sea urchin, which simply melted in my mouth. If you're in the area, make this your go-to sushi restaurant—it's phenomenal! The only downside was the wait time between courses, but it was understandable given the care they take with each dish. " (*Curated Review*)
