“Our new go to sushi place! All of the appetizers and sushi rolls we’ve had have been delicious. My son requested to come here for his 6th birthday, and even my very picky eater daughter ate almost an entire entree of the udon noodles. So so good!“

“Awesome spot for AYCE sushi. Even on their busy days, they are able to catch up and the service is always on point. I've always seen big groups come here and the waiters and waitresses are always on their feet. Their dinner menu provides more selection so I always get that menu, even for lunch as I love sashimi. The interior color they chose is pretty comfortable. The black and gray style is very nice.“

“Busy Saturday, but the place had no line, so I decided to check it out. The servers were friendly and were even willing to let me try the food. Honestly tasted just as good or even better than Panda, which had a long line. Food was well seasoned and flavorful, and the portion size was great! Highly recommend coming here and supporting them!“

“Please ensure you retain your receipt for a week or so, until your transaction clears from your bank. On 2/15, we dined and We paid with our debit card. We also provided a $20 cash tip to our waiter name Eve. We are perplexed as to how we were overcharged. The tipping section on our bill was crossed off by us. It does not make sense for us to be overcharged. We will be contacting you again to discuss this matter further. The amount on the receipt differs from the amount you charged us. There is a discrepancy of $30. Could you please clarify the reason for this overcharge?!! We've called multiple times and everytime, you guys said there were no management on duty. smfh!!“

“Stopped in for a date night on a Saturday evening. If you're wanting hibachi make sure you call ahead and make a reservation, we didn't had would have had to wait nearly an hour, so we choose dining room instead. Hostess was slightly snobbish, but once we were in the dining room the waitress was incredible! Very friendly and efficient!!

Tried Takoyaki for the first time (friend octopus balls) and I wouldn't recommend. They tasted like the way the inside of a barn smells.“

“The staff is great! Food taste amazing, overall a great atmosphere. Didn't mind grabbing a drink at the bar while we waited for an awesome show!

Kid-friendliness: The servers are so great with kids! They gave the kids crayons and paper to have some fun with.“
