10/10, highly recommend. I’m in town for work and this place seemed highly rated for their sushi and had a nice variety in their menu. The tuna flight was especially nice because I got to compare each one to the others. It was also some of the best (if not *the* best) salmon nigiri I’ve ever had. One chef had me try their freshly cut yellowtail (which historically I’ve been pretty neutral about yellowtail) and it was just as good as the salmon. Can’t...

Food was fresh and tasteful lots of variety and the chefs were sanitary professional and fun to watch!
The restaurant is filthy with dust pan containing debris around dining tables windows floors obviously not clean and the service staff did not seem to be concerned with keeping their hands clean. You could even smell the unclean- like a frat house.

Food was good and well priced. We had the philadelphia roll which was my favorite, and then a shrimp tempura, alaska roll. The happy hour handhelds were filling! The atmosphere left much to be desired, it was a bit unfinished/not kept up well. Definitely a lunch spot and not somewhere i’d go back for dinner, in my opinion. Cafe style, you order from QR code and they can bring it to your table if dining in.
