This was edible and did not make me sick, but was the worst quality sushi I've had in a long time. I was surprised after all the positive reviews. Even the rice felt old and kind of stale. The fish tasted dull and not fresh, but not gross. I'm not even picky about sushi. I'll get it from the grocery store and be happy with it.For reference, I got the Alaska Roll and a specialty roll that had eel and another fish on top. I can't remember which fish, I just remember one of the pieces looked more purple while the others were pink. My friend had veggie rolls and seemed content if not happy with that. I ordered the karaage as an app out of curiosity. Instead of marinated fried chicken, I got what tasted like tempura McDonalds chicken nuggets. If you google it, you'll see it's supposed to be marinated and seasoned.To be fair, this is definitely a no frills spot. For the price point, the presentation on the plate is really cute. And the service was great. It's obviously more of a takeout spot than a serious restaurant. But honestly, the food just wasn't good enough to really be worth it for me and I won't be returning for takeout or dining in. If I'm craving cheap easy sushi, I'll stick to the grocery store.

I got a spicy tuna roll, and edamame. It was the best spicy tuna roll I have ever had in my entire life. I also got sides of eel sauce to go with it which was amazing. Everything was great and tasted so fresh. Such a good price too! I got delivery through uber eats as well!

A bit of a browse for our first time trying the place out, ordered the typical staples: Yellowtail Scallion and the Spicy Tuna and a specialty roll Diamond Roll. All were quite delicious and just a slight difference from other places.Service was friendly and to the point and at the entryway ordering the establishment looked well decorated albeit a bit narrow and confined if ordering and picking up with other patrons coming in. I politely bowed outside to make room for others coming and going as they are pretty popular.Recommend coming to try them out, I just happened to be adjacent to the area at the time and will go back again eventually despite closer options.

Cute restaurant with okay sushi. The rice is sometimes dry and the amount of fish in a roll is on the smaller side, but it was still yum and enjoyable considering the price. Service was great, interior is small but cute and relaxing. I recommend the lunch special, 12 dollars for soup and 3 rolls is a great deal! If you just want a bite to eat and aren’t a sushi connoisseur, this is a great place.

The Crazy Tuna, Rainbow and Jalapeño Rolls were delicious. I didn’t take a picture of the Jalapeño Roll. I will definitely be back sometime soon! I highly recommend the Crazy Tuna Roll.

Funnel cake fried tofu with spaghetti (what they call "teriyaki") was wayyy too sweet. It tasted like a donut with tofu inside. The space itself is pretty small but music was nice. Def not authentic Japanese but maybe the sushi is

This is my favorite sushi place so far. I haven't had sashimi as good as I've had here. The Spicy Salmon and double salmon rolls are my favorite! The Hamachi Kama is so good. The Seaweed Salad and salmon skin salad is so good too. The Incredible Roll is incredible. And the kids bento boxes are so cute. The naruto rainbow roll was delicious too. Kid-friendliness: Kid meals so cute!

Chicken was raw and way too much chicken teriyaki sauce from the hibachi lunch, i love Japanese good but after trying this one meal i unfortunately will not be back.

I got the spicy three roll entree and crab Rangoons. The Rangoons were good but the side sauce was atrocious. The sushi itself was not good at all. It didn't even taste like sushi (this should have been my first clue). Later on that night, I got the sickest I've even been It does not look like a clean location either. Will not be back, to say the least.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced! I ordered the three roll lunch special: sweet potato roll/mango avocado roll and this restaurant makes the best ones that I have ever had. The sweet potato roll had a white and black sauce drizzled on top and was crunchy. The avocado/mango roll tasted fresh and flavorful. The miso soup and seaweed salad was also on point.
