The atmosphere is my favorite characteristic. I would definitely visit and drink some keiran. The service is not bad. However, it wasn’t great. I had to flag my server down to refill my drink, get my check and pay. The sashimi was not very fresh compared to other places. I ordered the large sashimi and the akebono roll.

The sushi was really good and the chicken katsu sandwich was disappointing.

This place has a really good variety in rolls and decent prices. Not to mention the great service too. It’s a little noisy but it’s worth it for the sushi!

Fun relaxing, stylish atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and food is tasty. I got The shrimp teriyaki bento box, well worth the money. Everyone was kind and courteous.

Their Sashimi and Miso Soups were great. Their salads, Sumo Ramen and Spring rolls, even better! Great staff and service, and the establishment keeps to its origins as a Japanese Restaurant. If you’re looking close to the authentic experience, look no further.

What an awesome vibe!! Not only was the food amazing, but hands down the best customer service I’ve received in a long time! We were visiting l the area from out of town and the server/bartender/sushi roller, made the time not only to chat with us but to also make incredibly thoughtful suggestions as to sights in the area based on our interests. Definitely will be back next time we’re in town

Went here for our anniversary based on the options and the prices on the menu, and was not disappointed. Got a little of everything, and it was all amazing. Sushi roll on special was super delicious, their egg rolls were super good, and I realized I had never had good Nigiri until I came here (got the seared Salmon and it was splendid). Beyond the food, staff was all super kind and attentive, and an empty plate (had quite a few getting small portions of different things) didn’t sit on our table more than 1 minute before someone offered to take it away from us. Absolutely will be back, and already suggesting it to others!
