As far as sushi goes, it's an excellent place for a casual sit-down. With simple, yet comfortable decor, and a well-lit atmosphere, the spot gives a nice homey vibe to dining experience. While I've had much better, I have certainly had much worse. All considered, it was among the better-than-average sushi that I've had the pleasure of consuming.
I would strongly recommend the Provo Roll; it left me craving more.

Ok it’s a pretty cute location and well placed for any college students. We got a large sample of what they have since my wife and I like to find new restaurants overall we got the executive roll, playboy roll, Vegas roll, teriyaki bento box, soba noodles with shrimp.
Food rating 3.5 stars:
The two really good things were the soba noodles with shrimp and the executive roll. That executive roll I might come back for just that occasionally.

The ok items were the egg rolls, and gyoza from the bento box, the sushi sample from the Bento box and the playboy.

The not so great items were the chicken teriyaki and the Vegas roll. The chicken teriyaki tasted like premade bulk teriyaki sauce like you get from costco on rather dry chicken, maybe just the one I had but it wasn’t great. The Vegas roll tasted a little funky, it might have been the oil they used to fry it or the cream cheese but it wasn’t great a little off tasting.

The service: our server was pretty great, quick on our order and fast to get our food to us. Caught our waters before they emptied and was pretty funny. He was great. The food was fast, we ordered and were eating something within 20 minutes.

The atmosphere was confusing. It’s a little Asian style cafe for all the seating, with 1980s swing music playing, and paint on the walls that looks like it hasn’t been repainted in a long time so kinda looks odd.

Overall: it’s not a bad place to eat, but when you have other options for sushi just down the road that are a lot more consistent with flavor it just wouldn’t be my go to spot in Provo. Maybe a pop in for a to go order of the executive roll but not much else.

Absolutely loved our experience here from the moment we walked in! Bernice was our server, Super adorable and such a great server she is! Our food came out the kitchen quick. Miso soup was at perfect temperature for the chilly weather Definitely recommend their katsu meals. We loved them! Don’t forget to try their Chinese donut, so tasty! We will be back😊
