We ordered takeout. Very quick service and food was ready and packaged when we arrived after 20 mins.
My impression from the food is that it is a Korean restaurant serving Korean and Japanese food.
For example Gyoza were deep fried (should be pan fried) but had good flavor. More similar to korean mandu than japanese gyoza.
Tonkatsu was pounded a bit too thin and as a result was dry and a little cold. This may have been due to poor timing on our pickup, or it could have been made ahead and reheated. Fried items like this don't always take away great, but it was very crisp and perfectly cooked. Served with vegetables that were topped with a red mayo-based sauce. We didn't try these veggies.
My biggest critique is that there's just too many things on the menu, especially when it comes to their specialty suhi rolls.
They would do well to simplify and reduce the options to their top sellers and items that they can perfect.
For sushi we ordered the spicy rainbow roll. The cuts of fish on the outside of the roll were solid, but the interior spicy tuna filling was completely mush and filled with a slurry of chopped fish mixed with sauce. In every one of their rolls it seems this is a standard filling. Perhaps sticking to the sashimi/chirashi/nigiri would be a better option here, or perhaps other people do like that chopped fish mush and we are just weird.
2.5 stars, but I think this place has potential with a few tweaks.

Very delicious food no doubt , the only downside is that there is a lady there (waitress) very rude. She needs to be more nice with her customers.

Our favorite sushi place in Delaware. Note: this is NOT the all-you-can-eat Sakura. There are two Sakuras on Kirkwood Highway.

A small, unassuming location with great food and atmosphere inside. The sushi is well worth the price, the service is always excellent, and I've never taken anyone here and had them leave disappointed.
If you ever are going solo, or in a couple, I recommend getting a bar spot for a slightly more interactive experience. It is cool to see the chefs work, and sometimes you can get some little experiments sent your way.
