Caterpillar roll was great, we didn't like Dragon roll because seaweed smelled weird. Mango Roll (fancy Salmon Roll) was very good but a little spicy, Salmon Roll was tiny and nothing special. Sesame Chicken was perfect but the cabbage with it was useless. Yaki Udon...Read More

A genuine friendly and delicious restaurant. There are many delicious rolls and sushi sashimi, and you can feel the flavor even more with fresh wasabi.

Service is always a little so, so. Food definitely makes up for it. The green mussels and Tuna Tataki roll add jalapenos; always 10/10.
