My friend and I tried this place based on Yelp ranking of best Sushi restaurants in Alexandria and we were not disappointed. The waiters were attentive and courteous. They had sushi happy hour 5-7PM as well as a great offer of 3 sushi rolls + miso soup + house salad. The rolls were thick and filled with big bits of fresh tuna and salmon.My favorite was the crunchy spicy Tuna roll (I think it's called Alaska?).I'm definitely referring friends to this excellent place and I will be coming back soon on next visit to Alexandria.

Quick turn around for my order of takeout sushi. Bonus, they were playing Taylor Swift albums instead of radio

It’s really far from being an authentic Japanese restaurant. The ramen wasn’t fresh at all. So disappointed. Price are ok, though..

This is our go-to restaurant for sushi fix. The food is terrific, price is great. The garage parking is only 30 seconds away, easy, and free. The staff is fast and efficient and the owner is a super nice lady. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Old Town!!!

The maki and nigiri sushi were fantastic, service was quick and everyone was very polite. We also got veggie spring rolls that were great as well.

This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. Always very good service and food. The happy hour nigiri special is always a hit in my family. I do avoid some of the rolls because they are a little too sweet for my tasteFor 2 people, we love to order the sweet potato and avocado roll (underrated item), spider roll, white tuna and avocado roll, and tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and scallop nigiri. The scallop nigiri is my absolute favorite item on the menu and I would recommend trying it.

The sushi was OK. I’ve definitely had better. Especially for the cost. But a neat spot to grab some quick sushi. It was good not too bad but not very satisfying either. This is my personal opinion though. So it might be the grandest to others!Dietary restrictions: Peanut free vegetarian optionsParking: They have a parking garage but it’s only one level with very little spaces. I’d say about 20 give or takeKid-friendliness: Nice atmosphere with options for kids.
