Tried this place for the first (and last) time due to the good reviews. Food was mid at best, rolls are on the small side, too sweet (shrimp tempura roll) ingredients were overcooked, pricey for the quality. BUT THEN, we found a curly black hair in the middle of our Udon (pictured). Gross.

Don’t go. Just left. Ordered oshinko, spicy tuna hand roll, Godzilla roll, ca roll, beef teriyaki combo with gyoza, and beef teriyaki bowl
Oshinko - 7? Too expensive wasn’t fully wrapped in seaweed Tuna hand roll- no flavor Godzilla roll - again no flavor and little to no tobiko on top? Not sure why? Ca roll 7/10 Beef Beef? Beeeee? It was that bad, not cut properly not seasoned the meat was bad cooked with no flavor just the teriyaki glaze, overcooked and tough as if it had been boiled?
Advertised 4 beers and only had Sapporo? Not sure why?
Had more than enough chefs and speed wasn’t a factor just no flavor with the food and no quality?

I (used to) Love Sushi. Went ther Friday and the service was slow and the food terrible. I think that we were eating leftover reheated chicken. I took my adult children and we were all in agreement. Empty at lunch time should have been a clue ?????

Sushi is delicious, large quantity of high quality fresh fish. I've come here several times now and been impressed with the food every time. The rolls aren't overwhelmed with sauce, you can definitely taste the fish. Portions are good, prices are reasonable. Service has been fast and friendly, what's not to like?

There is a gentleman that comes around. Wishing everyone a happy birthday one of the coolest experiences is because of that man. Absolutely loved his energy. And he will do socky shots with you all night. The food is pretty tasty as well. The only set back that I have is one of the people in our party, Could not eat rice And when we ask for sushi roll without rice. They made the accommodation, but they didn't bring it out until thirty minutes after everyone else was done eating.

The aboslute worst restaurant ive ever been to. Save your money, they dont even carry black pepper in their kitchen! What a disgrace to Japanese food!Service was less than 1 start, hot tea was hot water, literally. Chicken was old and dry, so was their eggs. They use top ramen for their noodles and try to charge 16$ ??? This place is a joke.
