Lunch special takeout was pretty dismal - small sashimi portion with too much garnish

Stopped in really quickly for a spicy salmon roll and it was made to perfection. The flavours were well balanced and the salmon didn’t have a weird fishy flavour. The server was really nice as well. Would definitely return to try other items on their menu

The food here is amazing. Had the salmon sashimi and a torched roll and both were excellent. Highly recommended.

Love their torched sushi! This time I tried the unagi torched sushi and it tasted great. I also enjoyed the crab salad. I love that it’s a quiet cozy place that I can enjoy a meal alone in peace.

Really nice atmosphere, Service was top-notch by the waiters, they were very friendly and polite. The food was excellent, we tried the flame torched sushi, salmon poke and the portion was decent for the quality of the food. We also had some drinks.

I am not satisfied at all as the food quality is ok compared to the price. And they billed for an item which I never received.

Went here on a Wednesday night around 7:30 pm so it was not busy at all. Only 1 other table with customers. Only 1 server. Sat in the back near the other table that is behind the main bar where the sushi cook and servers are, so they cannot see our table or the others. Despite being slow, it took a long time to be given menus, water and take our order. The server was not attentive and at the end we went up to the pay as they did not come to us for some time. I had a roll with torched scallops that was tasty. But generally I found the menu overpriced, for example, a basic dynamite roll, makis and appetizers. My son ordered a ramen, which tasted like an instant ramen pack. There's room for improvement with service and tidiness in the restaurant. I would also suggest checking the menu for spelling errors.

Just had dinner here. Was excited to try it out! But was a little disappointed. We ordered the green dragon, black dragon and fire dragon. We also got the udon with karaage chicken and a bibimbap. The sushi wasn't great. What was really throwing it off and making it off-putting is that the avocado in all 3 rolls was not ripe. It was hard when we bit into it. Definitely not how you expect avocado to be. The udon noodle were good, my husband said he enjoyed it. The bibimbap seemed to be missing something. It wasn't anything exciting unfortunately, which was sad because I was looking forward to it. The karaage chicken was really delicious and saved the meal for me. The service was very disappointing. The restaurant seemed empty (but maybe they had customers on the patio) but service seemed very slow. All in all, it wasn't great for us and we likely won't be returning.
My favourite sushi spot in the area. No bells and whistles just simply yummy food. When you walk in all the staff, including the chefs greet you and the dining experience is laid back and quiet which I love. The food is a little pricey comparatively to others nearby but I feel that it’s worth it considering the quality and freshness of all of their food. My favourite is the pressed touched salmon, but honestly you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.
