Wow. The sushi here is phenomenal. Simple rolls, but the quality of the ingredients is outstanding. I just finished eating and I already cannot wait to come back.
Favorite sushi spot. Hubs and I drive from Berthoud which is well worth the drive. Fresh fish and delicious, bonus of a non-overwhelming menu!
Excellent sushi with incredibly fresh fish and delicious Japanese dishes. The staff is always very friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and consistently high-quality food. Highly recommend!
