I migliori ristoranti di cucina giapponese a University Area

Went for my birthday and had an amazing experience. Food and staff were wonderful.

The restaurant is small, which is good, and super cozy. Went for valentines dinner and had a 5 course meal. Originally I though it was a bit pricy but at the first bite I realized we were in for an amazing experience and the price would be worthy. I wasn't wrong. Every single dish of the 5 course meal was spectacular, with different flavour combinations in perfect harmony. Plenty of food too! We had the opportunity to personally thank the chef and I told him it was unforgettable. I'll certainly be coming back soon!

Valentine's dinner and we hadn't had sushi for a long while. Thought about the Omakase but opted for la carte instead to get more freedom of choice. Food was great, we really enjoyed the specialty rolls we got as well as the Chef's sashimi. So much so that we got more sashimi a la carte. I really really wish they had squid/ika sashimi as well. That's our preferred sashimi and the only thing that was missing to make the dinner perfect. I would have also appreciated a cocktail or 2 but that's rare at sushi spots, so no issue with that. The ambiance was surprisingly fantastic. Not too noisy, they played some great Rn'B throughout the evening (Sushi while enjoying Erikah Badu? Win win). I particularly like how much space there was between tables and sections. We were a lot more comfortable than at many such restaurants You could have a conversation without having to yell. The service was nice. Had a reservation and didn't have to wait more than a few minutes for a table. I don't have high expectations around how often service persons come to your table or chat with you. So the relatively stoic personality of our waiter was just fine. Various staff members came by to refill waters and especially ginger and wasabi, which we always appreciate. They also brought food at a nice pace. It's a little inconvenient when all your orders arrive at the same time and you have to uncomfortably manage your table and rush. We got our plates 2 at a time, each round when we just finished the previous. They deserved that 25% tip. The prices were not bad, and it always works in our favor (Washingtonians) once exchange rates kick in. There was a parking garage right next door. From some gym which had a lot of reserved spots but we did manage to find some availability. Considering we didn't have to pay, it was no hassle at all. A long review just to say it's a great spot to add to the collection! We certainly will be back. Thank you for a pleasant evening, Temaki!

One of the best dinners I have ever had! The food was truly fantastic, the cocktails were amazing and the service was wonderful. Can’t wait to go back and continue to explore a thoughtful and innovative menu!

I wish it were quieter. That level of music is unnecessary
