It's intentionally tiny: somewhere between 8 and 10 seats depending on the source, which keeps the pacing personal and the fish selection tightly controlled rather than stretched across a bigger room. The price reflects the ambition — $440 to $490 per person before tax, squarely in rare-splurge territory — and Time Out's full 5-out-of-5 rating alongside Phil Vettel calling it the city's most exhilarating sushi experience aren't the kind of praise that gets thrown around loosely.
For anyone not ready for that price tag, the sister restaurant Kyoten Next Door next door runs a more approachable $159 omakase — a real option worth knowing about, even if it's technically a separate business from this flagship counter.
