My whole party got sushi/sashimi here. The fish quality and the presentation here is probably the best in Princeton. Prices are standard for quality fresh fish anywhere– probably you’d find it expensive if you’re used to all-you-can-eat sushi places. Miso soup and pickled vegetables were tasty, the pickled radish here is not dyed.

Best ramen in town and best sushi in town. Dont sleep on the Japanese Curry either!

We have dined here twice so far, and both times were very underwhelmed with the service and food quality given the price. The first time we went, we ordered an avocado roll; but the second time, we were rudely informed that they don’t have avocado rolls (and that they’ve never served them). You can clearly see the avocado rolls in the photo included.

Truly superb sushi, fresh fish, perfectly cooked rice. Hands-down best in Princeton area. Lovely waitresses too!

It’s a very small place but they serve delicious food. We had the spicy ramen (truly spicy, and our tolerance is fairly high).

The service is what it is, the price is what it is, but it is the best place in Princeton to get Ramen and sushi. The fish is fresh and the menu does not confine itself to the farmed tuna and salmon you get in most sushi places. Given how dire restaurant choices are in Princeton, this is probably the best you’ll get.

The sushi platter is fresh but a bit over priced at $30. The ankimo is a bit fishy and I don’t think it’s as fresh from the color. Sushi rice is a bit chewy and miso soup is a bit salty. Overall fish quality is good but over priced. Service was a bit lower than average.

Best ramen/Japanese place in town. Portions are small and the sushi dishes are bit pricy, but the food is amazing! Staff are very kind and courteous. The interior of the restaurant also adds to the taste of Japanese cuisine.

Probably the best ramen in the area. Sushi is some of the best I’ve had. I always take the time to visit when I’m in town! Oh and the service is wonderful too.

The older woman server is extremely rude and made my friend and me feel very unwelcome. I do not recommend this place at all if you want a pleasant dining experience. Will not be back.
