I go here with family because some like it. I stopped getting teriyaki chicken because it's always served cold, even when I send it back. I got a fried chicken, forgot what it was called, instead of being crispy it was soggy. I got the same dish elsewhere and it was amazing and crispy.

Came here for my wedding anniversary and later again for my husband's birthday. Biggest sushi rolls I've been seen in my life, and I've been eating sushi for 2 decades. My husband loves the chicken katsu curry. This is now one of our special occasions restaurants. You will be super full (if you get the right rolls) and have leftovers. I add cream cheese to my rolls. Service is helpful and nice. I love this place. Might try the ramen sometime but I love their sushi!

I decided to try this place after seeing so many positive reviews and high ratings on Google. When I arrived, I was greeted at the door, and the restaurant seemed large with different seating sections. However, it appeared that smaller parties (under 5–6 people) were seated in the front area.

The main reason I gave 3 stars is the service. It took more than 8 minutes before anyone came to take my drink order, and when I finally ordered a drink with my sushi, it was another 20 minutes before the food arrived (the restaurant wasn’t busy). During that time, I noticed a group of four elderly guests who came in after me and left angrily because no one attended to them. That speaks to how inattentive the service was.

I also felt bad for the two servers working the front—they looked exhausted, which I believe is due to understaffing and poor management. No one ever came by to ask if I needed anything or to check if my food was okay.

The food itself was just average compared to other sushi places I’ve tried. One roll that was supposed to be served hot was only lukewarm, making me wonder if it had been sitting out.

The bathroom was clean, but I was disappointed there were no touchless faucets or paper towels, and the door opened inward, forcing me to touch the doorknob after washing my hands. On the positive side, free parking was available in front of the restaurant.

Overall, this place has potential, but they really need to improve staffing and customer service.

A very popular sushi restaurant! Came here with my cousin for dinner to try and branch out from our usual spots. The sushi was tasty and they have tons of options. It was very busy the day we went but they have a lot of seating to accommodate. The staff were nice and the restaurant definitely has a high busy kind of energy to it from the decor to how many people were there.

Have only been here the one time, so I want to come back to try some other options. The roll I got (sorry can’t remember the name) had fresh sliced lemon on top which I love. We did get one roll that had cream cheese in it and it honestly was too much cream cheese that we poked it out. Would come back!

We have been coming here for many years, and the quality of the food has remained consistent and good. Large portions, friendly and quick service. It is not a very fancy place but eating here is very comfortable, like comfort food for us!

Philip Fang

Good portions, and tasty. They were able to accommodate our needs in terms of giving us non tempura shrimp and sauces on the side.

My daughter loves this place I think it's okay. There are so many Japanese restaurants now that are good you really can't say one's better than the other. Update went there this week with my family. Heather Champion Roman and I have to say it was the best thing I ever had there.

Maybe it was an off night, but the food was gross.
Poorly out together, salty and also somehow rubbery.
But at least we were seated in the back next to a birthday party, so we could hardly complain about the subpar food.
We will not be returning.
