We will definitely be coming back!“

Will eat here again, thank you!“

“The food here is always good. The service has suffered like so many other places but the ones that are there work very hard so they get 5 stars.My biggest issue is that families normally come here to celebrate things, etc and there are no steps taken for noise dampening. You have to pass messages down from one end of the table to the other like a telephone game. Take that into consideration if you need to catch up or have someone with noise sensitivity.Parking: Parking is shared by detail other businesses but most aren't open at night so dinner parking is pretty easy.“

“This place is my favourite sushi place. The Nixa roll and Deep Fried Viva Cali is very good along with the chicken Katsu! When we go there are usually not very many people which makes me sad because it’s so affordable and so delicious. I hope they have enough business to stay open always. There is something for everyone here.“
