Sad to hear they are permanently closed. Very much a great staff and place.

I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best, but the drunken noodles hit the spot and left nothing to complain about. However, they also left nothing to really praise, either. Meanwhile, my better half ordered the N.D. sushi rolls, and she had quite a bit to complain about. They were messy, unable to hold their shape, and lacked consistency between the different rolls. Most likely never ordering here again, but not disappointed at trying a new place.

We ordered takeout via DoorDash and our food arrived on time and our driver kept us up to date on status. The food was not good. I ordered a teriyaki salmon bento box which came with California roll, nigiri, salad and miso soup. My salmon was overcooked and the teriyaki sauce sat on top like a half-inch later of jello. The carrot ginger salad dressing had a really funky smell which led me to believe it was old. The miso soup was extremely salty. I ate the salmon nigiri which was fine and then I took one bite of the shrimp nigiri and the texture was off and tasted bad! I decided not to try the tuna nigiri. The California roll was okay, but the cucumber was not fresh. We also ordered three rolls: Spicy tuna roll was just rice sushi topped with tuna and spicy mayo. I get they are trying to be different which is all good, but the flavor was just okay. They substituted our hamachi white tuna sashimi with mackerel which we did not eat. The salmon sashimi was fine. The food was so bad we threw most of it away. We will never order food from here again. Stay away folks!

WORST SUSHI. Martins Super market does a a better damn job. The tuna is off colored and they don't know how to roll a damn spicy tuna so they top the rice with tuna .... that's not a spicy tuna roll. Come on ... if you say your a Japanese restaurant do it right.

Ordered sushi, crab rangoon, orange chicken, pad Thai with shrimp, and the matuba combo through GrubHub. Sushi was not temp controlled. Pad Thai was dry. Orange chicken was super salty. Only good thing in this 60 dollar meal were the crab Rangoon. Husband and I wanted to try something new and support a local resturant during this craziness going on, but dont think we will be going back anytime soon.

I will not go back. We had a party of 8, and the whole time we were there, there was only 2-3 other tables. Service was unbelievably slow!!!!! We were seated at 6:40 and didnt begin getting our main courses until 2 hours in. They couldn't serve our party all at once but it took 40 minutes more for the last person to be served. We finished at 10pm, almost 3 and a half hours later. The food was ok, but not great. Only reason for 2 stars is they comped most of our drinks due to such slow service.

Great food, decent prices. Try the shiitake fried rice.

A solid sushi spot in south bend area. The interior is definitely dated but the sushi is good and prices a tad lower than some other places. The hours are a tad goofy though so plan accordingly.

My husband and I ate here for the 1st and only time approximately 6 years ago. The food was delicious and hot. The staff was very friendly. They had an amazing sauce to go with the egg roll that I had never had before and still have not had again. I will definitely eat here in the future

Came here for a date night dinner, lobby was completely empty when we arrived, and over the next 80 minutes we were there, we saw four other tables get served before us and over a dozen online orders fulfilled. By the time we left, we hadn't even been served our complete order and the chef commented that he wasn't even working on it! I'd rate this place 0 stars if I could, I'd like my time back.
