The interaction with our chef was priceless and he was both professional and funny. Will come again for sure. Only downside was to look for parking nearby as they don't have parking provided.”

    “This is legit authentic Japanese food, even with the little potato salad in the salad and the dressing is actually not your fake Benihana sesame dress it even though I love that stuff. This is a very light fresh flavor. The tempura was unbelievably fresh. I wasn’t a huge fan of the flavor or the quality of the meat. Maybe I couldn’t tell the chicken teriyaki but it wasn’t bad. It just tasted like maybe the chicken was pre-cut or pre-prepared or something or maybe frozen before for a while but wasn’t horrible. It just wasn’t epic but honestly for the price and what it was and I’m taking so much home. I’m happy.”

    “Great restaurant with a beautiful view of the water. Nice enough atmosphere for a nicer occasion or a casual evening out. We got the Rock N Roll, Stinky, and Firecracker. Fish tasted very fresh. All rolls were very delicious. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Service was very fast. We were able to sit outside on their patio which had views of the water and docked boats. We made a reservation on a holiday week night, but I don’t think it was necessarily needed as there were tables available throughout our meal, but better to be safe than sorry. Pictured roll is the Rock N Roll.”
