The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, including the Wakame salad, chicken dumplings, pot stickers, Toro cakes, sushi rolls, and the Brownie Roll for dessert. The sushi is particularly excellent, with much of it flown in from Japan. There is a wide variety to choose from, along with many creative rolls that combine unique flavors and fish.

Recently, diners have noted that the food is creative, delicious, and consistent with each visit. Many have praised the exceptional staff, highlighting standouts who provide a warm greeting even after a long absence. The Sumo hour is recognized as a great deal with full-sized, discounted portions, and the vegetable fritters come highly recommended.

The Kenobi roll is a stand-out, and the gyoza received high praise.
