Wonderful service! Yummy food! Didn't care for the miso soup (fishy). Combination Bento Boxes were great, chicken a bit dry but everything was yummy.

Best sushi. Probably our favorite restaurant in the midlands. The miso soup is perfect, as is the ginger salad. Order the fish on the chalkboard menu. So fresh. Also try the plum roll. We always leave happy. I would give 10 stars if I could. Rio and his team are in a league of their own.

The food was good, the prices were fair, but our server was amazing. He had a great personality. The experience was enjoyable, and I can definitely see myself coming back!

Looks can be deceiving—kind of like my ex’s dating profile. Sure, the shopping center and parking lot look like they’ve seen better decades, but don’t let that scare you off. The food here? Chef’s kiss. The service? On point. Go on Thursdays—they restock with the good stuff, and your taste buds will thank you.

Overall, my experience was very positive: the service was attentive, the atmosphere was great, and the quality of the sashimi stood out. The only observation, which I also noticed mentioned in other reviews, is that the sashimi portions are a bit small for the price. That said, I would still recommend it, and I’m sharing some photos so others can form their own opinion.”
