We ate here again and it still has excellent quality and very good prices. Atmosphere was great. Wasn't crouded or loud making it easy to have a conversation. Plenty of tables and booths for seating.

Highly recommend.

I literally drive past about 6 other sushi restaurants to come here almost weekly! It is fresh and delicious and you are missing out if you haven't been. Try the Hana special roll... you can thank me later ;)

Very nice local spot for Japanese comfort food and a bite of soosh. The owners are very sweet and attentive. Beautiful atmosphere and fresh, satisfying food!
