Way over priced and poor food quality. This is absolutely the worst sushi restaurant I've ever been. A dinner portion is like not even kid's meal size. Do not try this restaurant!!

Disappointing, the quality just didnt cut it for the price. Not to mention they put wasabi on everything and when asked if they could redo the sushi without wasabi we got a lecture about how we should have asked for it without wasabi first because according to the waiter, that's how all sushi is always served. Um... no. We've gotten sushi for years from hundreds of places and while sometimes places include it that way, it's not always included. Furthermore, any place I've ever asked for it to be redone has never gone out of their way to make me feel like I am in the wrong for asking. Besides, I asked for a roll to come without cucumber and they still included it so asking doesnt seem to make a difference. The attitude along with the inedible sushi made for a very sour experience. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Solid place. Good, quick and friendly service. We got the happy hour specials - several rolls and the garlic fried rice. All were very good and the food came out fast. We sat outside and the weather was beautiful. Thanks for a great meal.

Very good food and very nice service. The happy hour specials are the best. Enjoyed our dinner very much, highly recommended.

This is good mid-level sushi experience. It wasn't the most upscale food ever, but it also isn't trying to be. We had the ahi poke, Aburi Hamachi roll, salmon hand rolls, and the Artist Palette. All were tasty, well crafted, and fresh. The Artist Palette was a bit bland, could have used a sauce, but it was the only disappointment. Our table was ready when we arrived and our server was great. I would come here again. Note: it can be loud at peak times, try to come for a later dinner if you prefer quiet.

My girlfriend and I arrived 45 minutes before their posted closing time. The hostess was very short/rude to us while trying to get seated. Once seated she quickly and rudely told us last call was in less than 5 minutes and that we needed to hurry up and decide on what we wanted. Then 10 minutes later when the server finally decided to come to our table we were greeted with the words "this is last call so you gonna have to tell us everything you want" no hellos, good evening, how's it going. We were prepared to spend a good amount of money on their sushi. But decided to leave. If you can't professionally handle a rush then close your seating early.

Double tuna roll was amazing!

Not good sushi. The rolls were terrible. The hamachi carpaccio was decent, but by no means anywhere near luxe sushi. Our male server was friendly. But the female hostess came to us during last call to ask us if we wanted anything else. We said we'd like to add another sushi roll because we were starving and hadn't ordered enough. Then 20 minutes later, we found out that she didn't put the order in. And that they couldn't make that sushi roll anymore because they had already closed up the kitchen. We left hungry and disappointed that we wasted so much time with this place to not get what we ordered. Only giving it 2 stars because our server was friendly and apologetic and gave us 10% off our bill. But other than that, I would not come back or recommend this place.

We went here upon a recommendation and was entirely impressed! The atmosphere was amazing and the food was beyond belief! There are options for people who do not eat seafood. I recommend the sushi, it's some of the best I have ever had!
