Sitting down with my friends in this spacious and open feeling sushi bar felt natural. The warm tones of the redwood panelled walls and the generous portions of food and drink melded into the easy going type of vibe I'm always hoping for. There is a great happy hour selection and a fully stocked bar. The fish was quality. I enjoyed the hamachi salad and the hamachi Kama. I'll be returning soon!

This spot has fantastic service as well as enjoyable meals. One of my favourite restaurants in town. The meals arrived fast and the prices are inexpensive. Will definitely recommend this place.

Excellent quality! A full bar, even! Be prepared to drink a sh!t ton of sake if you order the large. The only minus is the sushi chef is a master, but he is not quick, get an appetizer while you wait for the main attraction!
