We came for late lunch on weekday and enjoyed delicious and pretty sushi and an appetizer spring roll. The sushi was top fresh and very tasty. The service was friendly. A return restaurant, for sure.

By far our favorite Japanese restaurant. They have a ton of sushi options but they also have a lot of nonsushi options so there is definitely something for everyone. The food is always delicious, and the hospitality is great! It appears to be familylocally owned, and our usual waiter Alex always provides us with a great experience.

Nice sushi spot. Sushi was fresh. Service was good. We ordered seaweed salad, a house salad and three specialty rolls. The Black Dragon, the Chili Mango and the Bluefin Toro rolls.
