Average sushi fair price. Don't recommend taking a date here. Not really a romantic setting with all the boxes taking up half of the seating area. Small intimate setting. Definitely a local joint.

It's a very calm and quiet place to eat. The food was phenomenal and the service was outstanding. They are also one of the few locations that were even open late. Definitely come here and enjoy the food I highly recommend it.

This was the first place I ever tried sushi. My mother brought me here & Kazu made my first sushi experience wonderful & unforgetable. That was like 30 years ago. I returned to the area recently with my partner & went to see if this place was still here. Not only is it still here, but Kazu was here making food & socializing, making this place the best sushi spot ever! Thank you Kazu for making sushi a multigenerationally positive experienxe.

I will not be returning. Very poor service, sloppy presentation, the soup tasted old, fish was not fresh (tasted fishy), tuna was dyed a bright red. I watched a server deliver food to a table while chewing a mouthful of food. I love sushi, this was a disappointing meal.
