The sushi is exceptional and the decorative presentation of the rolls is very cool and unique. Each plate had intricate designs crafted from sauces to match the unique rolls. The staff was also very nice, attentive, and quick.

I dropped into this spot for lunch on a whim and was pleasantly surprised by the chill vibe, the great playlist, and the attention to service.
The service was quiet and friendly, and the lunch special was delicious at a great rate. I would recommend anyone with a sushi itch go here for a scratch. I hope to come back soon for the other things on the menu.

I live nearby and didn't think too much about it when we walked in on a whim but I am definitely coming back! The service was very attentive, I felt like a little kid with the surprise of whipped cream and sprinkles on the Thai Tea and then getting cute drawings in sauce with the sushi. New favorite local spot for sure!
