Great neighborhood jap spot. Always good quality and good service. The way times can get a little longer be warned. I hope they keep the prices reasonable. Priced a tad high, lately what isn’t.
August 2025
Wonderful dinner with lots of options...but not for sushi. Their focus is on Crispy Rice sashimi - which was good tho I prefer my crispy rice crispier. That said, the Black Sea Bass was on point.
July 2025
Food was great. We ended up sharing two hot pots among 5 people along with everyone getting their own stuff because we wanted to try a lot of food. Overall, super yummy and friendly staff.
