Absolutely LOVE this place. Ate sushi for the very first time and now I’m addicted. The fish is very fresh and reasonably priced (in my opinion). The service is great and the presentation of all the dishes is beautiful. Highly highly recommend!

I've been meaning to try this restaurant for a while, and now that I finally did, I've been back four times already. The food is unique and delicious, with a great variety of sushi and an unbelievable selection of Japanese beers. A great restaurant starts with great food, but the staff is what makes the experience truly exceptional. They are friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about the brand. Very impressed overall and can't wait to return.

Great food! It is impossible to find okonomiyaki in Arizona. So I will certainly keep coming back for it. Only complaint is the loud customers.

Great Japanese restaurant. Happy to find that, beyond excellent sushi, they also have a selection of authentic Japanese dishes like takoyaki (octopus balls), agedashi tofu, nasu dengaku (miso eggplant), and hamachi kama (grilled yellowtail collar), and chawanmushi (seafood custard). The uni (sea urchin) was very fresh!The fresh wasabi was a little different than what I've seen before – it seemed to be a sauce with chunks of wasabi. Fresh wasabi is more typically a mound of freshly grated wasabi root without any sauce. Taste was very good, nonetheless.Would be interesting to see other dishes on the menu like dobinmushi (seafood soup), seafood okonomiyaki (seafood pancake), kara-age soft shell crab tempura, etc.Dietary restrictions: Service staff offered to take into account any dietary requirements. Our group didn't need, so I'm not sure how they adapt to accommodate.

Friendly and attentive staff. Gyoza and chicken udon were very delicious. Sushi rolls were good, but on the smaller side and seemed to lack full flavor. Miso soup had great flavor but was served lukewarm with chilled pieces of tofu. We sat in the front room and all agreed we could smell most things being prepared in the kitchen. I suggest sitting in the back room if you’re sensitive to smell.
