So here’s the awesome good news for most readers- you like sushi, you’re not really knowledgeable or brave to try “new” things…and AYCE isn’t your style…this is your place! Quality is very high in a more limited variety of familiar and friendly to newer palates! Cozy, low intimidation and easy in/out for a quick quality and quiet meal. Pictured is the 12/13 piece sashimi along with an Aloha roll and some miso soup.
Owner is great. Support local!
Food is great quality and reasonably priced.
