★★★☆☆ 3.0 Daisy Lang · Jan 2022

First time dining here. Ordered the “ocean” set which came with edamame, tuna sashimi, two hand rolls and 6 pieces of nigiri sushi. I also ordered takoyaki as a starter. First off, the takoyaki was crispy on the outside, flavor was good but the inside was mostly dough and very little octopus (tako). For the sushi set, the salmon was the most disappointing, a bit dry and was not fatty or moist like others I’ve had. The sea bream had yuzu chili on top which was tasty. Albacore and yellowtail was good. Nothing really wowed us. For the price of $27 for the set, I thought it was okay. It looked similar to Sugarfish in photos but in reality, it doesn’t compare. I wanted it to melt in my mouth. We did enjoy the ambiance and outdoor seating. Sadly hot tea was not powdered green tea but in a tea b

Incredibly delicious sushi served up with gracious hospitality in a cute spot. Each time we've gone, we've been treated to amazing food and service. Everything's good but the specialty rolls are worth a try. Yum yum, we'll be coming back! Update: we moved out of town but just got back on a visit, 7 months later and this was on the list for our first day. Same great food and amazing service as always. Our server even recognized us which was a nice touch!

One of our favorite sushi places! The fish is always so fresh tasting and the toppings are beautifully delicious. Love their selection of unique rolls! Always love coming here knowing we're in for a treat!

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. Attached are pictures of what you get when you order the Ocean.

★★★★★ 5.0 Darren “Dyo” Yomogida · May 2019

Newly opened, family operated sushi restaurant in Newport. I ordered "The Ocean" and everything was fresh and light. I ate enough but didn't feel heavy/sluggish like after some places that over sauce/flavor their food to compensate for quality. Happy hour menu had good prices. Vegan options available. I accidentally ate the other stuff before I remembered to take quick pics for a review ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
