Me and my partner love sushi and we were excited to try this place since it's local and the reviews were so good. The servings were large, and the restaurant was packed even on a Monday night which were good signs. However we tried the sashimi and nigiri in addition to a couple of the specialty rolls, and the fish wasn't the best quality, It definitely tasted bitter/old. The rest of the food was generally underseasoned and lackluster. The calamari and the salad provided with the meal were the only things worthwhile. The service was fine given how busy they were, but for the price there are definitely some better options in the area.

Food tastes GREAT! A little more expensive that Sushi Garden, but I really like the taste here. WE had the tempura combo as an appetizer, and then I had flank steak and a sushi roll. My friends had Donburri and pork Tonkatsu. Not much on ambience or atmosphere, but you come here for the food. Parking in the back sucks - there just is not enough because Ace hardware, Real Thai Restaurant, the Bagelry and laundromat are here also.

Delicious sushi some of my favorites in the county. Amazing gluten free options which is really nice and the service is great! I like sitting at the bar the most and watch the chefs make the sushi.

Wow!!! The rolls were amazing! Had the Life Aquatic and Natural Bridges rolls with the largest salad I’ve ever seen which was also super yummy! The reviews are as they say! It’s a bit of a wait but well worth it! Service once you’re seated is pretty fast even though they were crazy busy!

One of the better vegetarian sushis I've had. There were at least 10 rolls what were vegetarian or vegan. Two rolls was too much for me, but one wouldn't have been enough. Great service on a busy Friday night.

Great local spot that gets busy. They have an interesting sushi roll menu. I personally come here for the skirt steak teriyaki donburi or bento box.
