You came here for something different and fun on a Sunday night. We arrived at about 7pm and there was parking nearby as well as plenty of seating. However, the restaurant did get busier as it got a little bit later.

This is my favorite sushi place in Tempe. I always get Omakase. But there are some things to improve.

Fun! It’s cool and exciting for the kids (and us grown ups that are still really kids). Although it’s sushi-go-round (conveyor belt), you can order fresh food to be sent to you. You sliiide the plates into a hole when you are done and earn prizes at certain amounts! A robot brings your drinks. Ill attach a video to show you. It’s cool!

So far the best and freshest sushi I’ve had in Arizona. We ordered our appetizers and food and it all came out quick and fresh. The calamari appetizer with jalapeño poppers were extremely fresh. Service was very good and accommodating. Sushi dinner was fairly priced for the freshness and the taste. Beware, if you bare truly vegan and order a roll with no fish or meat. There was a small peice of minced tuna in our avocado roll.

I had a spicy tuna roll, a spicy salmon roll, and a spicy yellow fin roll. I had one hot sake a large, a soju shot apple which was exquisite. The food is very good, my favorite being the spicy salmon. The atmosphere was decent, various types of music played in the background the staff was friendly. I would visit again. I wasn’t able to get a picture of my food it was so good.

Sushi and service were really good! Fish was fresh and all of the rolls were great. Had a separate menu for vegetarian/vegan options. The chef wasn’t happy with how one of our rolls turned out (we wouldn’t have known)so he sent another one out for free. Definitely recommend this place!

It was always exciting to find a new happy hour spot. Great assortment of fresh sushi rolls and fun takes on the classics. They have multiple types of toro which is always a favorite. The happy hour specials had a good variety from food to drinks. Everything was tasty and the service was great. Our waitress even brought us a complimentary shot on the house when she found out we were celebrating. Definitely stop in to give this place a try to fill your sushi cravings.
