This place has super high quality and fresh sushi. Some of the best sushi I have ever had! I got The Ocean and it was so good! The meal was expensive for the amount of food you get but the quality justifies the cost....Read More

I...Read More

We try and eat here at least once a week. Excellent food and service. Restaurant is always clean but, it is small and can be busy. Parking is an issue sometimes. I would highly recommend if you want great sushi.

The quality of the fish here is phenomenal. I ordered the salmon, yellow tail, and albacore nigiri. The fish was fresh and the cuts were thick. Would definitely come back.
