β β β β β The shop is great and the staff are knowledgeable, unfortunately, every time I go, the staff have been very pretentious and "gate-keep" the love for cooking. Speaking to the (albeit knowledgeable) staff, each time I've visited, I always had someone telling me that what I was doing was a waste of time, and that my goals in food were not attainable, or that my equipment or skills were garbage. That they knew better, and I basically should just quit. It's very disheartening, that the people there were not industry supportive, and instead, they were gaslighting. No cool, bowl cut kid

β β β β β I have been coming here by a friends recommendation for a year or so now. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I wish I knew the owners name, but about 2 visits Ago right before Covid I was in the shop to get my knives sharpened. I am a bit of a Chatty Cathy and chatted for a good 15mins with the owner. The next time I came in, even with a mask on he remembered who I was, where I worked and who I was. Thatβs always impressive. The knives he sharpens are all by hand with a wet stone. NOT one of those pull through shave off a ton of metal type of sharpening. If you have a $300 or a $20 IKEA knife, I highly recommend you bring your knives here to get sharpened. I once bought all the stones etc to do it. Let the pros do it. I havenβt bought knives from his store ( if you invest in good knives which I did, they last a lifetime) but I do want to add soon to my collection and I will for sure stop by here for my Japense blade.

β β β β β A small, but well stocked, high-end knife store specializing in Japanese knives. Also carries a selection of cutting boards and other kitchen tools. Knowledgeable, unrushed staff, who will make suggestions based on your needs and can tell you about the craftspeople that make these products.

β β β β β Wanted to say a giant thanks to Doug and Kevin at this store. They (and all of the staff) are fantastic, everybody is knowledgeable and incredibly helpful.
They recently repaired a knife of mine and all I can say is thank you - to this and to their sister store, Tosho Knife Arts. I will never buy a knife from a store that is not Ai & Om, or Tosho. Thank you so much!

β β β β β Very knowledgeable & helpful staff. Bought my first Japanese chefs knife here. They were a big help, brought out maybe 8 separate knives for me to handle and decide.

β β β β β What an experience!! You can tell that Doug is a master of his craft and loves what he does. I learned so much about knives and left the store absolutely beaming about my purchases. He was so incredibly knowledgeable and non-judgemental to my newbie knife ways. I can't wait to go home and start prepping my dinner with my new knifes. I will definitely be back! This is a hidden hem of a store!
