The service was insanely bad. The food is good but definitely not worth the an hour wait - didn’t even give us water for 30 minutes when there’s only one other table. Only one waitress was walking around and she got a lot of attitudes.

We were welcomed and seated immediately. Extensive menu options and our food came out quickly which was great for work lunch. The quality and price were excellent.

The sushi is delicious. I got the sushi and sashimi chef special. Unexpectedly, there is wasabi in the sushi. The rolls were great! Was definitely enough food for two people, and the piece is about $70 after tax. Not too bad. I always wanted to come since I’ve heard good things from family. Now that I have, I will come back, just maybe not anytime soon. But overall the quality of the fish is fresh and good. I would’ve liked a little bit more rice on the sushi but it was good!

I had the spicy Udon noodles, and while the sauce and the noodles themselves were tasty, my experience as a whole was of a lackluster operation. The chopsticks weren't even of the quality I usually associate with fast Chinese takeout. It seems like it was healthy in the past, and I hope they're doing alright.

Went out for dinner tonight last minute on Valentine’s with our kiddo. Really wanted to like this place as we eat a lot of sushi and live nearby.

The waitress seemed new, so hopefully a lot of the issues we faced were due to her inexperience. First, I had to request a clean glass after a dirty one was brought with my pop. We had to request utensils, requested waters about four times, and the food took forever. Some of the food was good: basic sushi was fresh, the shrimp tempura was good. An expensive tuna steak was served so overcooked and dry as to be inedible. No ine checked on us for so long we no lo my we had time to try something else and requested the check. We asked for the fish to be removed from the check, it wasn’t. We asked again, and they removed it begrudgingly but added charges for the half cup of white rice and wilty soggy side salad that came with it. Probably wouldn’t be leaving this review if they hadn’t done that. Hope the six dollars was worth it.

I’ve worked food service and I know things happen and you can have an off night or something goes out wrong. This was not the way to handle it.

My bf and I went for our 5 yr anniversary. The tuna sashimi was tough, gross, and metallic tasting but we still tried to eat some (our stomaches were very upset after this). The staff was talking very loudly the whole time and forgot about us at the end for 15 minutes, not a good atmosphere for how much we spent ($100). We left very sad and disappointed with our meal and our anniversary dinner.
