The food was amazing! Great sushi and the seafood noodle dish was awesome. The dynamite shrimp appetizer was great too. Our server, Ron, was very friendly and attentive and fun.The only critique would be the music was really loud techno music that made conversation with my spouse challenging. Other than that, we loved it. We'll definitely return for the food though!

It was busy, but I didn't feel rushed or crowded. The service was impeccable and the sushi was delicious. I've always been impressed by the take out, and if you get past the VERY limited parking it's wonderful to enjoy a meal out.Parking: Good luck. Maybe 5 spots in front of restaurant otherwise good luck not getting towed.Wheelchair accessibility: The sidewalks are accessible, but there is NO designated parking. I found it very inhospitable in that manner.

Had great sushi rolls, the Phoenix, and the happy ending both were very good! Got the pork gyoza app, and it too was delicious. Then came the teriyaki don, chicken, mushrooms, and sauce with rice. The rice was a pile of mush! And it was such a small portion for a dinner entree. We opted for the dessert wontons. I did not care for the cookie dough in the wontons. But I did enjoy the ice cream that came with it. I will be back for the sushi and app for sure!

We had the Monday special Pho and it's honestly the best I've had anywhere. I liked the additional vietnamese herb called Culantro (nor cilantro, which they also have) which really made the bowl great.Service was slow but they were packed.The drinks were very sweet (even martini style drinks) so next time I would skip those.In short, the Pho is so good I'd go here for it even if it was a terribly long wait. Hope you all try it! (Remember Monday only)

Music reminiscent of a 2006 rave which is an interesting vibe for a sushi restaurant in the middle of the Midwest. 10/10 for the vegan sushi though.

This place gets busy fast and it is a loud environment. There is a wait to get food when it is busy but it is all rolled fresh. The sushi bar is in the back left corner. Bathrooms are in the back right corner. The food is absolutely amazing.
