Legit premium sushi in a very unassuming but welcoming location. Youd never find this place if you werent looking for it, but the creativity that chef Paul Kim demonstrates is pretty phenomenal. Give it a shot and sit at the bar if you can, you wont be disappointed. Truffle mustard toro and local uni for the win!
