Nice experience with a group of 10. Friendly chef, and an entertaining evening.

Terrible service every time I’ve been. Walked in for my brothers bday reservation 5 min late and was rushed into ordering drinks and meals without getting a chance to really look at the menu. We walked out and went to sushi 805 for a superior menu and service. This was our last attempt with this place, as there has been an issue every time.

Food is good, but nothing special, just similar to what you will get from other Japanese restaurant.

I was there having my bday dinner the other night. I worked in customer service for many years so I know what’s good and what’s not in service. We luckily had a server named Judah. This young man was so awesome! He was very attentive and friendly and he was overall amazing at his job! He had such a great personality too. Thank Judah for your great customer service. I hope you get a raise! You deserve it. :)

Quick, delicious. You know the sushi gonna be good when they don't invest that much in interior decorating. The Ahi Tower was fun and tasty

good food, nice staff but odd how many different staff members kept coming to the table asking the same questions. environment could use a good deep cleaning, maybe a remodel. kinda run down in a bad way. floor look unsanitary. food was very good but environment sucked not to mention how run down the outside of the building looks.

It was good, not great, but it was a decent price, and the waitstaff was friendly. However, the quality of the fish was not up to my expectations.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience here was surprisingly unpleasant. Our server, Amy C., repeatedly slammed the plates, food, and even the check onto our table without a word—creating a tense and rushed atmosphere that made it hard to enjoy our meal. On top of that, when we kindly asked an Asian waitress if she could take a quick photo for us, she refused without explanation. It felt cold and dismissive, especially when a simple gesture like that could’ve made the experience more memorable in a positive way.
The food itself was decent, but hospitality and service matter just as much—and sadly, both were lacking during our visit.

Best places one of my favorites but something's going on I'm not too sure things have changed slightly on the downside.

The food was ok, they had a lot of items were available and had to resort to other food options.
I had left a 5 star review last time I ate here. Today I give it a 1 star.
