Absolutely delicious! I’ve been here dozens of times and it never fails to impress me. Definitely make a reservation as it usually is pretty packed. Their baked crab hand rolls are perfect.

Great sushi! They offer gluten-free versions of most of their sushi, and the staff is knowledgeable on what is cross-contaminated and what isn't, so it is safe for celiacs. I highly recommend the albacore belly, it has that "melt in your mouth" quality to it.

Wow! Delicious! We came for Mother’s Day and pretty much tried everything on the specials list. Everything we tried was mouthwatering. Perfectly seasoned so no need for soy sauce. And the fish is very fresh! Will definitely be back❤️

Food is delicious and love visiting this place often but due to its popularity orders arriving super fast so you can be done with your dinner within 1.5 hrs max. Super fast and at times uncomfortable cause of tendency of finishing ASAP.

We just love the patio! The service is attentive, friendly & precise! Really inventive & flavorful. Always rewarding! Like many venues, I feel a need to pace the courses and the manner which they prepare lends itself to ordering as you go, on demand. Fantastic!
