Did not feel clean!! Dirty cups, table didnt feel clean etc, sushi window was also rough… food was okay. My company enjoyed their food but i thought otherwise. Tempura in my sushi was actually the whole sushi deep fried. Miso soup was salty.

Awesome place to grab sushi with friends! We came here on Sunday, and although the special lunch menu wasn’t active, we still had a great time. The food was delicious and the music they played was super vibey. I split a boat sushi set with a friend and it was amazing!

I liked this place as soon as I walked in. It’s small, but not cramped. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The service was efficient and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. We were not blown away by the food. The fish was fresh, but the menu offerings were standard; not noteworthy. Flavors and presentation were not exciting, unfortunately. If I was walking by, and hungry, I’d stop in again for a bite, but wouldn’t go out of my way to go there. To end on a more positive note, the miso soup was actually one of the best I’ve had; it was really flavorful.

Small portions for not so special sushi. Here’s how much I got for $8.

One of the better casual restaurants serving up well-executed classic Japanese dishes, and they have a very good sushi program as well. Ingredients are fresh and high quality. Prices are in line with the area. Food prep is fairly quick, service is friendly. They offer takeout and have a number of delivery service partners. Owners are really nice as well.
