This is my home town, we frequent several sushi restaurants. This is by far, the best tasting SUSHI, we have experienced!! We were blown away by the quality and the variety of the menu. The bar is just quality, the service excellent. Everything was above our standard, all wait staff was great, we were fortunate to have Abby wait on us, just a delight and very professional!

Katrina was an incredible server, she’s so patient and let me try a few sakes, and helped me navigate the menu. The food was incredible, best old fashioned my husband has ever had. Will be back!

We were excited to try this place for my husbands 40th birthday. The service was great, as were the cocktails. The food however fell short, the crispy tuna app didn’t taste fresh, the rice was very oily and just was not as good as we have had elsewhere, the dumplings were incredibly salty, almost inedible, perhaps the sauce poured tableside was over reduced?, the chicken bao buns were crispy but the chicken was a big chunk of dark meat not a filet which made it awkward to eat...
