“ One of my favorite omakase experiences to date! Every piece of fish was amazing! I had the Premium course dinner and was afraid I would still be hungry afterwards, but I was stuffed in a good way at the end. The chef was great and we had a nice conversation with the owner, Daniel. Will definitely come back! ”
“ Make a reservation and get to this amazing establishment! This is my goto for great food and service. Ive been dining here regularly for over a year and a half and love introducing friends to the awesome chefs. Big shoutout to Tony for always making my friends and me feel welcome and for the great conversation and insights into his craft. Be a great guest and make sure you arrive for your reservation on time. It enhances the experience for everyone who is seated with you and ensures that everyone is served at the correct interval. Update A year later and still love this place. We come back to celebrate special occasions frequently. Much love to the staff and chefs! ”
“ This was our first visit. The restaurant located in the Haven City food court and only has a sushi bar, with no tables inside. You can order to go and eat in the food court dining area. Omakase is the only thing available at the sushi bar. I was with five others, and not everyone eats sushi, so I almost canceled our reservation. Im glad I didnt because their omakase was the best Ive ever had. Each piece had a unique taste, and one was even smoked, which was amazing. For those who didnt want sushi, they made a couple of rolls and wraps in the kitchen, but they had too much rice, and the guys didnt like them. My husband and I are excited to return for the omakase. ”

“ Hidden gem and one of my favorite spots. This is my feel good place to treat myself. Each piece of sushi from the omokase menu is immaculately delivered. The phenomenal touches like lime zest or truffle oil or roasted garlic chip adds such an enjoyable flavor profile. Ive never once had a piece that didnt melt in my mouth. Sooo good! Tony is my favorite sushi chef! ”
“ This was just an amazing omakase course from start to finish. The freshness is there and the flavors kept building from one step to another. Ive never had unagi nigiri with a touch of mascarpone before and I dont think Ill ever forget it. The blue crab hand roll was simple and fresh with actual crab meat! and the semifinale otoro sashimi plate was just divine picture here Absolutely insane amount of deliciousness coming from a market place. I love LA so much ”
“ Staff and chef were amazing! I originally ordered take out, but knowing that it was a 50 minutes wait to receive my online order, I kindly asked the staff if it was possible to change it to dine in. They were kind enough to seat me right away even though they were really busy with orders before mine. I didnt mind the wait since it was just me experiencing a solo sushi experience for the first time. Being new to the eastern side of California, the uni at this sushi bar was amazing! The uni MELTS in your mouth. Reminder my order is originally for take out I had the sashimi bento and that was amazing! Everything was amazing! They had this wasabi on the side that was mixed with a little minced garlic and that paired with the freshness of the raw tuna sashimi was perfect! I ended up putting the wasabi and minced garlic on almost everything. Atmosphere The restaurant was very straightforward. There werent any tables, only seats around the chefs. Seating is very limited. Menus They have two different menus. One is strictly for takeout and the other is to dine in due to them serving raw and premium fishes. I sincerely thank the chef and the staff in making my first solo sushi experience amazing. ”
“ This place is a hidden gem. The Omakase chefs choice is the way to go premium version is 13 pieces of perfectly crafted with intense skill and stability. These amazing works or art are presented to you on traditional sushi plate ware, and your mouth enjoys the work of art. The chef is extremely skilled and knowledgeable the staff wait on your every need. If you havent been struck with the opportunity to get here do it fast. This is a must have located at haven city market they only seat reservations. But I have been lucky before and snuck a seat. If you would like a real sushi experience this is the spot. ”
