“Best sushi in town! Mona is such a sweetheart!😍💓“

“We LOVE the this restaurant! The owner is amazing! He is a part of every aspect of the restaurant! Everything tastes beautiful. No “fishy” taste even though obviously you are eating fish. You definitely know it has not been sitting around! It's always fresh and affordable!“

“Our first time dining at this place though we have wanted to go for a while after someone posted about it after they opened. Finally made it and glad we made reservations as it was packed since it was peak time Friday evening. Spoke with Koji-san, the owner, while we were waiting for our table and he also stopped by each table to check on them which we thought was great. We had the takoyaki, kaisen-mix okonomiyaki and the spicy miso ramen. All came within a reasonable amount of time and were delicious! Koji-san explained the background of offering takoyaki, which was so interesting and great for him to share. We will definitely be back to try the other menu items, esp their sushi, which looked delicious! Great to see a business busy and doing well!“

“Great food great service“

“I came here with a small group of adults, and we had a wonderful experience. We mostly ordered rolls (several from the interesting specials menu). They were all delicious. Someone ordered Hijiki and I found it to be very tasty. The staff were above-and-beyond nice to us. The atmosphere was warm and lively. Based on this one visit, I'd highly recommend.“

“An incredible experience. Our food was sooo good, we got the house roll and the dragon roll and it was so tasty. The atmosphere was so welcoming and chill and the music was on point. Lucy our server was so sweet and helpful. I’d highly recommend.“

“Good value on yummy food with large portions. The staff is friendly. Family fav“

“My husband and I ate lunch here for the first time and we were very happy with our experience! The restaurant is very clean, service is friendly and the food was delicious. Our sushi didn’t taste fishy at all, very fresh and flavorful and our ramen had great flavor as well and didn’t taste overly salty like ramen broth at certain places can be! Highly recommend!“

“The owner’s fun character The art of the owner’s sushi and quality Sushi rice is the best“

“Came here for my 21st birthday and it was so much fun!! Staff was so very sweet and friendly!! Amazing selection of games and very reasonable prices on drinks.“

“Overall a good experience. The wait was double what we expected. The food was very good. We came to this place when it was a bistro, so the atmosphere was excellent albeit hard surfaces which increase the volume.

I would recommend this place for sushi. The fish is very fresh and reasonably varied. Your not getting a high end mix of fish, but that's expected. The Nigiri had the appropriate mix of rice and fish, which most sushi restaurants do not get right. The Sashimi were cut in a very nice sized portion.

We will be back. 2 people are much faster to seat than 3-4 given the tables available.“

“Ate inside with my 3 year old. was great!“

“went for the first time yesterday. got that curry soup which was good (well order again not too sweet like coconut curt can be sometimes) but I asked for my rice on the side since it was to- go. rice was left off :( also, there was a little piece if eggshell in my soup. I was so glad that was at the end bc my feelings would have been hurt if I found it before I was just about finished eating. my daughter had a Cali roll that she said was good. and a kid's bento box. the Ramen was a bit dry IMO but everyone liked it fine. good mango lemonade. I did an Arnold Palmer with mine.“

“Very fresh and tastes great. Appreciate the cucumber water!! Spicy aioli with salmon bowl is 🔥“

“I love this place! The food is always so good and healthy. The service has always been fantastic and very inviting. Definitely recommend!“

“this place is awesome!!!! not only do you get to watch art In motion... everything tastes fabulous!!“

“Very friendly and great service !! Loved it :) great sushi!“

“Went to Benihana today. Spent close to $200. Service was horrible! Food was okay but not great. Asked for a sushi appetizer which did not come until we had our meal. Server said they didn't have enough help to fix it. When the sushi came we did not have any sauce. We asked one of the helpers who was walking by and she told us we would have to ask our server. We literally had to get up and go ask someone. Ridiculous for the amount of money we paid.“

“The food was so good, we came back again two days later! The BEST Orange Chicken I’ve ever had. They make it with real orange juice. Superb! Kung pao chicken was tender and wonderful. Drunken noodles - amazing. Sesame chicken was very good - too many onions though. This is our new favorite. We can’t wait to try everything on the menu.“

“THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!“
