In my opinion this is the best sushi restaurant in the lansing area! The staff is friendly, beautiful location, and top quality rolls. The rolls are balanced well and not too big where it is difficult to pick up with chop sticks. The rolls with raw fish are delicious and fresh, and the fried rolls do not disappoint. I have been going here for years and always come back, and would wholeheartedly recommend! (The bento boxes are great too!)

I've been coming here since I started college at 18 ... I'm approaching 26 it's still my go to sushi place!! The eel sauce is my favorite and I cannot eat eel sauce anywhere else personally. A Cali roll and eel sauce is the bomb. Daddy's girl roll is also to die for. Still my favorite sushi place to this day. Sushi is priced well as well!
May 2026
Celebrating with friends we got the California roll, cucumber roll, spicy tuna roll, yam yam roll and their famous MSU roll with several pieces of sushimi and of course the Miso soup and their ginger soy salad. Can not recommend highly enough. Definitely the best sushi in EL
