One of my favorite sushi spots! I get the Jessica albacore which is definitely the best roll on the menu (in my opinion) The spicy edmame + the crispy tuna which never disappoints. Also a classic spicy tuna hand roll that has that perfect crunch. I love everything about this spot and will always come again!
