1. not authentic Japanese food. 2. if your teen age (age 16 quiet girls) go there without adults, the store will charge the kids tips directly without telling them (very sneaky, I guess they are really short of tips). 3. over priced with small portion 4. don't expect them to treat you warmly, even you are local customers. Absolutely not recommended!

We ordered some salmon hand rolls and salmon rolls for lunch. The salmon was gross. They had clearly added leftover salmon to the hand rolls and salmon rolls. The texture was awful! We are local, but will not have sushi at this place anymore.

Upscale local Japanese restaurant. Fantastic tempura. Definitely worth the visit.

Sooo good! Super fresh and friendly. I truly loved dining here. The service was amazing. Everything came out perfect and with timing. Sushi sashimi lunch special was more that enough to satisfy my appetite. I’ll be back soon

Very expensive for what you get. The portions are incredibly small. Out of all of the Japanese places I’ve been to, this place has the worst price-to-portion ratio. The takoyaki was also cold in the middle.

I have never left a review focusing on customer service because I am not picky.

1) the waitress was rude and impatient despite only a few groups at the restaurant.
2) always tried to upsell and nick/dime instead of just taking care of the clients.
3) my younger daughter had 2 sushi rolls of the same kind. I asked for one more for her after she finished her plate and the server brought 2 more (one more of the original order not one more roll).
4) the waiter sat and waited for the bill to be filled and took it before we got up (only junk places do that).
5) the table we sat on had a super sticky film on it from consistently not being wiped down properly.

Otherwise the sushi was fresh but the ramen selection austere.

There are better sushi places.

I got a vibe like they needed money and were going under.

Sushi rice is good (a little heavy on the vinegar seasoning)
Fish cuts tend to be small
Overall average
