Tuna empire is always my go-to order, highly recommend. No one can compete with these guys, all the employees help everyone in this building and it shows!“

“We have been coming here for years. Sometimes we are gone for long periods of time , but they never disappoint us. We had been gone a year, and today was exceptional. Got there right after they opened at 11 and everything was ready , hot , beautifully presented and delicious. Crab salad and pepper shrimp were my favorites. Could only try about half the sushi, but it was extremely fresh. Come here every time we are in town.“

Our server Michelle, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu (which was quite large in size) and honest when it came to her suggestions. She was patient with our large group and extremely down to earth. It was so good meeting her! The atmosphere of the place is very clean and sleek. The food is even better! The freshest quality sushi you can find around. Will be returning. :)“
