How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

The food is delicious

Really good sushi options and really good service. Went with the recommendations by the employee and do not regret. Best sushi I have had so far in Williamsburg. Had the crunchy sea bass and the previous time ordered the mummy and fire and...

This review is only based on delivery. Best delivery sushi I’ve ever had. It’s pricier than most and you can tell why when you eat it. Really tender, beautifully cut fish with delicate and subtle flavors. I don’t think I can go back to chea...

This has been a staple for years! It’s been quite some time since I’ve been here but everything is still amazing. The best servers and the food is always fresh. Ambiance is still very cute and they have the light up tunnel by the bathroom t...

I've been going to this place for years since it opened. Food is always excellent. When indoor dining was available prior to pandemic, the service was great. Unfortunately we recently came for the first time since the pandemic began, sat ou...

Overall food was average, but the service was beyond bad. Had no server after taking our order and I purposely left an empty bottle of water on the edge of the table to see if anyone would notice it but as expected nobody did and we were le...

Waiter rushed to take our order, without bringing everything to the table and also didn’t make sure we got everything. She left the shift without saying good bye she’s leaving or anything we asked several other waiters for our server and th...

Fantastic despite the exorbitant price. It's an experience worth having.

Loud environment

Reviewers note that the loud music and club-like atmosphere can make table conversation difficult.

Amazing but I can do without the loud music but it draws a young crowd. Make sure u have a pic of your vaccination card

Our go to sushi place in the neighborhood. We've been coming here for years now. Sushi is always fresh, perfect temperature, great tasting. My current favorite is the spicy tuna over crispy rice. Drinks are fabulous. I get the Lychee Martini if I want it sweet otherwise I go with hot sake. Fi...

I can't write a review because my zip code is apparently being discriminated against. I can't any company to deliver to me. Not Seamless, Caviar, Uber Eats, Door Dash etc. This can't be a coincidence.

Service was awful. The waitress forgot to give one of our party their food and then didnt come back to our table for 25 minutes. 18% automatic gratuity as well for poor service.
