    Killer dynamite lobster! Love the kazami with yellowtail. Mike and Brady are great bartenders and Amber was an awesome server.

    During peak seasons you need to reserve even for the sushi bar. Call ahead, it's worth it!

    The Black Cod is the best. Surpasses Nobu/Matsuhisa. Dynamite shrimp is also excellent.

    Sit in the bar and get the Bodhi's Bad Ass Tuna Tacos (they are not available in the main dining room). You will be happy, trust me.

    Check out the new bar menu. The Yakisoba noodle bowl is great. I usually get it with beef, it's never a letdown.

    Love sitting at the bar for some Sake. Have a lite-bite, their food is notoriously delish

    Incredibly busy. Poor service. Americanized Japanese. Only slightly cheaper than Matsuhisa.

    Overrated sushi. Avoid lump crab sushi. Wagyu beef was delicious though but the shrimp accompanying it were meagre in size.
