My kid studying in UM told me this is like the best Japanese restaurant in town without going upscale. Indeed I agree. The price is reasonable and food is great. The staff is very friendly too. I particularly like the roll w crusty top and sweet sauce!

Favorite Japanese place in Ann Arbor. I'm not a huge sushi fan, I really like the other dishes on the menu. The pork katsu is excellent! I always worry that the place is going to be packed since it's so good, but I've never had a crazy wait!
May 2026
Easy 5 star! Upset I didnt take a picture of our meal. Ordered miso soup, salad, edamame and 3 sushi rolls. Delicious and great value and great service. Highly recommend. This is my second time there.
