Mr. B
The carry out food was good. Inside the staff was very unorganized. I called ahead and still waited for 30 minutes. They were getting orders confused. To many people doing to many things. I know lots of places are understaffed but this was odd. With dine in customers, carry out and Door Dash you need to be realistic about what you can provide in a timely manner. I’ll give them another chance.

I didn’t go in but my husband went in to pick up and said it’s very quaint and feels like you’re elsewhere, in a good way! We had the cucumber roll, avocado roll, California roll and this Boston one I never had before and honestly, I didn’t know they even make rolls with shrimp tempura and deep fried crab and all that-anyways, the Boston one was delicious! Nice to know it’s so close by to us for the future.

Been here a bunch of times, it’s the only sushi place nearby. The food is really hit or miss. Tempura had clumps of dry flour the last few times. Last night was probably the last time we give them a chance after getting a very bad-smelling dragon roll; I don’t think the eel was prepared right. Rainbow roll was okay though.

Started with the Tempura appetizer, it was delicious, light and crispy. Main courses were Spicy Chicken Bowl and Spicy Bulgolgi Ramen with extra noodles. Both were excellent. Just the right amount of heat and both had a little “sweet” element to offset the spice. Finished up with Green Tea Mochi and Tempura Fried Ice Cream. They were a perfect “cool down” after a spicy meal. Our server was very polite and offered suggestions as well as helpful details on several dishes that enabled us to make our selections. The restuarant was clean and nicely decorated. We will definitely be back for more.
