Great service and friendly staff, unfortunately fish wasn’t fresh. Ate some sashimi and nigiri with shrimp tempuras and barely an hour later got terrible sick. Super disappointed…won’t be going back.

The Rich Salmon roll was literally some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. It was less than $15. Maybe I got good stuff because I was here at 3pm? I really don’t know, but I’m absolutely coming again!

Really yummy comforting food. Got the seafood tempura roll, yaki udon, and chicken katsu curry. Everything was really tasty and the portion size was good. Tons of veggies in the curry which I liked. Other katsu curries are just the sauce. The veggies were still crunchy but completely cooked which was nice to add a texture contrast. The yaki udon was my favorite. And the seafood tempura roll was delicious and huge. Would definitely eat here again.

Food was very average at best, and it was dark. Went around dinner time and was eager to eat. Food was okay, got edamame and seaweed salad that were pretty standard. The chirashi had some clean tasting fish and some fishy ones. Also got the tri torched roll and it looked promising, except it was sitting on the sushi bar for 15 minutes before being served. Service was okay at best, little timid and didn't really come by and check up.

This is a decent sushi spot. Some of their special dishes are really nice, like their baked portobello mushroom or takoyaki fries. The sashimi is cut very thick.It's not my personal favorite in the area, but I would happily eat there again with friends.

A peaceful oasis amidst the bustle of David Sq. The service was very good and attentive. Food came out soon. We ordered Miso Soup, Organic Salad and a few rolls. I loved the dressing on the Salad and the greens were good. Not too much dressing, which I appreciated. The maki rolls were also very good. Fresh and interesting. My only complaint was the soup was a bit watery. But given how good the food was this may have been a once off. We will be back.

What a letdown this establishment turned out to be! I visited this place a couple of years ago and thought it was alright. However, tonight, my partner ordered takeout worth $85, and it was a huge disappointment. The appetizers, including the seaweed salad and fried octopus, were absolutely dreadful. The octopus had a bad smell when we opened it, and its rubbery texture and taste of rancid oil made it almost inedible. The seaweed had gone bad and had an unpleasant acidic taste. The maki rolls were passable, except for the nato roll, which was so unpleasant that we couldn't continue eating it. We won't be ordering from here again!
