Been here 4 or 5 times now. Definitely worth the 10-minute drive. Came during happy hour and got sushi for $1 a piece. Honestly didn’t expect much at that price, but it turned out super fresh and flavorful, with no fishy taste at all. We ordered over 20 pieces and still got everything super fast. The mixed drinks were also great — refreshing and not overly sweet. If you’re in the area and craving Japanese, this spot’s a good find. Nothing fancy, just great value and solid...
