Great service and the food was fantastic! The rolls were fresh and the bulgoli was delicious. Hip place and good food. The happy hour food menu was very reasonably priced and good portions. I’ll definitely be coming back.

I love this place! They have such great vegetarian and vegan options, I get one of every vegan roll that they have, I love their pickled wasabi and that they have tamari! The service is fast and the waiters are all nice. Highly recommend for sushi!

Can’t beat the prices. Scallop dynamite is good but better as a sushi. The kanppungi was good but tasted like any orange chicken from a basic Chinese restaurant. Bulgogi and galbi can be a hit or miss with sometimes being too fatty or cartilage. When in doubt get the kimchi hot pot

Last night I was hungry late when most places were closed, so I jumped on here and found this place.

The food was very good. Awesome tuna sashimi, the Takoyaki was out of this world and so wss the Jalapeño Hamachi Roll. I would go back just for that. The service was a bit lacking and good luck parking anything bigger than a bicycle in the parking lot. But, those are things you can overcome when the food is good.

Quality of the food was great. I love the happy hour(4pm-7pm) and reverse happy hour(9pm-11pm). Service is great. Be sure to ask for Dhillon. He was very chill and welcoming. He was very sociable and knowledgeable of the menu. Place is kind of dark but hey, its also a bar. Ambiance is a 4 but everything else is a 5. Definitely top 5 sushi places for me in AZ.
