Best restaurant in Birmingham! Excellent food, service and atmosphere. The owner, Abe, is a great guy and is usually there to welcome you at the door. He and his staff take pride in providing the best experience possible and serving the best sushi in town. Try the Kodoma Tuna, Bangkok roll, sliders, Brussels in eel sauce and any dessert they have that day! They are all amazing!

Best sushi in Bham. A friend recommend this to me and it lived up to the hype. The meat on a rock appetizer is great. The rolls are good and fresh no issues with the drinks as well. We had a great server, helped us order what we all liked. Solid place.
