My husband and I love this restaurant! The sushi is absolutely delicious. The restaurant can get pretty crowded and doesn’t seem to be very spacious. Overall, the food is so good and I’d highly suggest giving it a try. Try coming in right before a dinner rush if you’re looking for comfortable seating.

This restaurant offers excellent sushi with a wide variety of options. The dining area is compact, so making a reservation might be wise.

Only being a visitor in town I was surprised to find a Japanese restaurant with great reviews. The service was shockingly atrocious; it's imperative that the staff undergoes comprehensive customer service training. Attempting to cancel a delayed dish resulted in a barrage of cold stares and hard glances from the manager, creating an unexpectedly uncomfortable and thoroughly unpleasant dining experience. The food is average and overpriced considering the area.

I have tried this place numerous times and hopes that the food quality will improve. It is necessary to address the persistently chemical-tasting flavor in the steak and shrimp dish, as well as the issue of undercooked rice. The environment is great, but I hope this issue gets fixed.

I've been here before and it was a good, solid place for sushi. This visit was different, unfortunately. While service was good and the restaurant itself has a pleasant, comfortable atmosphere and decor, the food wasn't up to their prior standards. I got the spicy roll dinner, an Alaskan roll, and a Christmas roll. The spicy rolls, a trio of spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy crab rolls, was not acceptable. All three of them were more "crunch" (panko or tempura flakes - I think panko, here) than fish. None were spicy. There were actually parts of each roll that were *all* crunch, inside the wrap, large portions that literally looked like ground up saltines, these parts of the rolls had NO fish. None. I ate the other two rolls after choking down half of each of the spicy rolls. The Christmas and Alaskan maki were better, but none of them had quality fish in them. Instead, off cuts were put together and some pieces of fish with obvious connective tissue (the chewy white lines in salmon, a bit harder to see in tuna). The rice on each of all of them was tasteless and not uniformly wrapped around the rolls, there was none of the expected sushi rice flavor or texture. When I mentioned the spicy rolls being full of bread crumb filler rather than the spicy fish filling I'd expected, the chef came over. I wasn't asking for them to be taken off the check, I was trying to let them know. I showed him the pockets of pure, light tan bread crumbs or "crunch" and he said that it was normal, that everyone there like it that way. He said next time ask for no crunch or light crunch. He offered to remake them for me and I said that just one with less or no crunch would be great. He came back with two rolls that were filled with a nearly-liquid fish slurry that could have come right from the blender. It was oozing out of each of the rolls. I'll never go back.

The Miso soup was really delicious, I wanted to try a new restaurant, as I am a collector of experiences in life. The rice and vegetable hibachi was perfection in taste, and flavors. It's a quaint little restaurant a cozy little romantic spot, or a small family gathering. Not very no large crowds to contend to if being reflective is what you want. That and good food.

Best Japanese food I have ever eaten in my life, OMG. It was a small place inside but the food was the best, and you won't believe the price. I had eaten at other places and the cost was boom but this place is very much affordable and yummy. Will come back again.
