Food was mediocre. The fried rice was very different and unique...not bad but okay. Tons of mushrooms and had a really earthy taste. It is definitely an acquired taste. The grilled shrimp and sushi was amazing!

Decent quick sushi place with elevated options. The fish was fresh, sushi and apps are good too.

I have been coming here ever since it’s opening. My issue is that the sushi rolling is horrendous. The last 4 times I’ve been the sushi just completely falls apart when trying to take a bite. Too many sushi places in town to have this happen. Service lately has also been lack there of. You will lose customers if you continue on this path. No one wants sushi that falls apart and no one wants bad service.

I've tried all of the ramen in this city and they hands down have the best.

Sushi was perfect. Service was great. Knowledgeable staff, good food. Professional and prompt. Try the lucky duck and the heart attack. Lost in Japan is amazing too.

I've been to pretty much all of the popular sushi spots in BR and this is easily our favorite. Never disappoints!

We went in today because we had gotten a $50 voucher for the restaurant. When we got there we tried to place a to-go order with the voucher and were told it can only be used for dine in (despite it not mentioning it anywhere on the website or the voucher). Essentially we were forced to dine in as there are no refunds for the voucher once it’s purchased. The service was ok other than the fact the host who we did not get his name, a young Asian man with glasses, was being very passive aggressive the whole time. It was like as soon as we mentioned we were using the voucher he stopped being polite. Including giving us the smallest to go box possible when we finished eating that would clearly not fit all our food unless we stacked it all on top of each other while we looked over and saw other people with bigger normal sized boxes and ignoring us when we had tried to get his attention. Unfortunately based on that experience I would never come back to the place. Not only is that false advertising but the attitude of this host was really off putting. We shouldn’t be forced to dine in if it’s not specifically stated on the voucher and met with petty actions in retaliation for asking for a to go box when all we wanted was to get our food and go in the first place.

Really good place to eat and have a good time. The place where we were sitted wasn't one I would definitely choose, specially if it is close to the bathroom. The restaurant was nice, and the staff were really helpful!

I had placed an online order for pick up. The hostess seen me enter and did not greet me. I gave her grace as it was very busy inside, but then a white man came in after me and she greeted him as well as asked him if he wanted to be seated or if he had an online order. I then waited 5 more minutes infront of the hostess booth and I still did not get asked if I needed help. I then proceeded to ask if she could assist me with getting my food and she had an attitude with me. You can say I may be over thinking but she did not treat me equally as the other customers and it is very distasteful. This happened on January 25,2025 at 6:20pm.
