If you’re looking for authentic sushi and sashimi, this is the place to go! Everything is fresh, delicious, and artfully prepared. The chef’s skill is incredible—he sliced the daikon, cucumber, and carrots so thinly, they looked like they were cut by a machine!

We ordered agedashi tofu, miso soup, a house salad, tuna sashimi appetizer, mixed sashimi, Spicy Tuna Roll, John’s Roll, and a Spider Roll. Every dish was fantastic!

The agedashi tofu was cooked perfectly—warm and soft inside with a crispy exterior. The miso soup was rich and flavorful, with a deep umami taste from the combination of saba, bonito, and fermented soybeans. The sashimi was incredibly fresh with no fishy aftertaste, and the rolls were delicious. The sushi rice held together perfectly, making it easy to enjoy each roll in one bite.

My favorites were the tuna sashimi and the Spider Roll. The crunchiness of the soft-shell crab was just perfect! The hot tea paired beautifully with the meal—good quality tea and great food make for a happy tummy.

I’m so glad I found this hidden gem and can’t wait to come back to try their katsu, teriyaki, and other non-sushi dishes!

The owner is a very sweet woman who is the only person taking orders and serving customers. She took care of everyone with grace. The restaurant is not very big, maybe 12 tables and no seating at the bar. It’s not a fancy restaurant, but who cares when the sushi chef is an artist. His plating was absolutely beautiful and the fish was very fresh. I am very happy we chose this place tonight. Ps. Try the deep fried tofu, amazing!!!

Parking: There is lots of parking. This place is located in a strip mall. There is also great lighting.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely if they like sushi. However, if your children are rambunctious and loud it might not be the place since this place is small and quaint.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, this is a wheelchair friendly spot, yet because the size of the rests is so small it might be difficult to maneuver..
