The service was great and the food was super value. I just wish we had been informed on the all you can eat option a bit more, and the chicken was not choice cuts.

getting too expensive used to be reasonable now it's astronomically crazy. some of the best sushi though in town.
Dietary restrictions: miso soup plain without anything in it they delivered that to me exactly as I ordered. they absolutely accommodated my restrictions
Kid-friendliness: I've never seen children in a sushi restaurant to be honest with you. are your children well-behaved, that's for you to decide.
Wheelchair accessibility: absolutely

Honestly this place used to shlap and was conveniently located downtown. However my last few experiences here have been disappointing and made me not want to return. Service usually sucks, my friend and I walked into an empty restaurant and were told we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated— which we did. They asked us if we wanted wasabi/ ginger and only brought us one to share which was strangely stingy? Asked them to separate the checks the last 3 times I’ve been there and they never do which is annoying. The bad experience here is consistent which is sad— I think I’ll be taking my business elsewhere :/

My husband and I were disappointed with our experience at this sushi restaurant. When we were seated, the floor under our table was dirty, which left a bad first impression. We ordered the all-you-can-eat option, but no one ever came back to take a second order from us. We had to ask for basic items like wasabi and ginger after our sushi finally arrived.
To make matters worse, several people who arrived after us were served their food much quicker, making us feel ignored. The staff seemed to cater more to younger customers, leaving us feeling overlooked.
As for the food, it was just okay—nothing special. We ended up not eating much due to the poor service and overall experience. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place based on our visit.

The sushi is fantastic and the energy of the place is amazing. Get a spot at the bar in front of Sam and you will have a great time. Come ready for sake!

Hands down the worst dining experience I've had in my 60 years on earth. Staff was unfriendly. They insisted that I ate all my food or they were going to charge me more. Food was hardly authentic. Sushi was dripping with creamy sauces.

This place is not a special Japanese food restaurant.. Very tasteless sushi and Japanese food for Koreans to eat.. It's my first time seeing a fishy smell from the fish in sushi.. The udon seems to be cooked with dark soy sauce, and the miso soup is completely Korean. It tastes like traditional soybean paste. I don't recommend it.

The food was wonderful! I had gone here for an all you can eat (25$,35$,45$) with a group of friends and we had gotten the 25$ option. Everyone has to choose the same all you can eat option. It has so many rolls and appetizers available! I was greatly surprised as most places do have less rolls and appetizers for 25$.
The service is okay. Sometimes they are so busy you think they forget about your table but it’s just because of the amount of people there.
The atmosphere is very much minimalist/coffee shop vibes which is odd but it kinda works!

Very friendly staff. Food was served rather quickly and all the items were served beautifully and amazingly delicious. We ordered poke bowl, miso soup, cucumber salad and dragon roll. Yummy.

Chicken was dry and there was no seasoning.
Sushi didn't measure up to their reviews.
