This small restaurant specializes in hand rolls, with an open kitchen in the center surrounded by a dining counter. The setup makes for a fun and unique dining experience. I especially recommend the Kaizen-don lunch special.
This is my favorite sushi spot (along with sugarfish) to get fresh handrolls made right in front of you with warm rice and cold sushi. If you never had it like that the texture and differences in temperature are mind blowing good, then wash it down with a coconut ube beer and you are in heaven. The inside is small and counter seating only so come quickly and don't forget to add your name to the waitlist.
Great lunch special
