The “hot new thing” at Funan. Arrived early before the queues got too long. The sushi’s definitely a step above the mainstream chains like Sushi Tei, but the quality isn’t uniform. (E.g. the akami and kanpachi are excellent for the price, but the chutoro is an absolute joke and barely has enough fat) The space was crowded, you’re shoulder to shoulder with other patrons, and it felt more crowded than even casual standing sushi places like Sushi to Sumi. We paid $50/pax and left a little hungry, so realistically, expect a spend of $60-70/pax if you want to be full, even if you avoid the priciest items on the menu. At that price, there’s competition from the lunch sets of cheaper omakase joints that have popped up recently, like Hikaru and Endo. And those places have superior ingredient quality and atmosphere, so I find it hard to recommend this place strongly. Might pop by for a small meal if there’s no queue, but not worth a special journey.
