What our guests are saying

Great place! Food was amazing! Service was great! Couldn't ask for a better place! They have early bird specials so go between 5 and 6 pm if you like sushi and the rest of the menu has proved good so far. Highly recommend and will be back again for sure!

Superb sushi. Excellent cost to value. I highly recommend and will be back. Back rooms are well worth the extra $50 but you need a party over 10. If you do, be sure and get a couple boats for the group. You'll get hero status to them
