Every birthday should always be celebrated here!!!
Entertaining, great food!
Great experience, a very cool, fun show, and it looks amazing. real talent to do this and a lot of fun to be a part of the experience
They made prom really fun. The staff are very agreeable.
amazing experience there, it was my first time and it was EXCELLENT!!! Their steak was so amazing
Their dessert stood out they were very good. It was a pudding
The texture was good.
Absolutely dynamite. I'm visiting from out of town, and as somebody who lives next to the ocean: the fish here is *fresh*!
I'll admit it, I'm picky about sushi. I was spoiled by being introduced to the cuisine by a family of Japanese immigrants from the Kobe region. But I'll break down exactly how this place knocks this out of the park.
A lot of places will charge you an arm and a leg for a roll that's mostly rice. Not the case here. The rice is the binder that holds and compliments the contents, not the main star of the roll. These folks go easy on the rice (which is the perfect tangy flavor you want from proper sushi rice) without shortchanging the full-mouth feel and sweet vinegar taste. The rice is also properly sticky, without being practically glue-textured.
The nori is another part lots of places will short the customer. A poor-quality nori will act more like leather, making you chew through stringy seaweed to finally swallow the bite. This place uses an excellent quality nori that adds a very mild "seabreeze" flavor and flakes apart readily when you chew, but doesn't fall apart when you're trying to pick up your food. Absolutely perfect.
So not only is this place not skimping on flavor or texture or freshness, it's also not charging you for mostly filler: each roll has generous portions of fish, veggies, sauces, and tempura.
Oh! The tempura! A lot of tempura goes overboard, either slathering the items in batter or overcooking them to either rubbery consistency or ground-glass-shards sharp. This place has the perfect crispy crunch without it being the Extra Crispy Recipe from KFC, and cooks the contents to perfection without heating them to death. 10/10.
Also: the miso soup? Gotta be made in-house. Rare is the restaurant that goes through the effort to make miso soup beyond a dried packet in hot water, but this place does. The broth is smooth without a trace of the grittiness that gives away the just-add-water shortcut. The tofu is obviously fresh, soft but holding its form, not brittle or mushy. The seaweed is, again, top-notch nori. And it isn't over-salted, either. If this amazing soup isn't made in-house, I'll eat my hat.
ROCKED this first impression. A definite stop on my list anytime I'm back in town. Flawless.
Way to knock my socks off!

Still the best option in town, but they made the sushi rolls smaller, yet are charging more for them. Don't think your regular customers don't notice.

First visit. The place was disappointing. Order messed up and steak overcooked. the fried rice was not good. The staff was friendly enough and the cook did a good job with the show but in the end the mistakes were enough to make me not want to retiurn.
