★★★★★ 5.0 Ryu Cayenne · Dec 2025

Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous. The decor takes you in, feels like a Japanese restaurant tucked away and cozy. Beautiful wood work and decorative. The service was 10/10. Prompt, great conversation, attentive and informative. Food was delicious, interesting and plenty to choose from. I particularly enjoyed their different ways to eat rolls and appetizers. The specials were fantastic and the soups brothy and delicious. Eat here as often as possible and twice on Sunday.

As great as it gets local sushi at affordable prices. Good clean taste with nice touches of flavor that excite the palette. I got a crazy monkey roll and some chefs nigiri that was perfect for my refined taste. I ended the night with halibut nigiri (shown here) and walked out happy

★★★★☆ 4.0 Susan Bavlish · Feb 2026

Good food however one of our tempura sauces had a broken top which caused it to leak all over the tempura resulting in soggy food. Dishes need more or larger containers of sauces to accompany food. Not enough sauce for katsu chicken.

★★★★★ 5.0 Victor Calilan · Dec 2022

This is one of the places that I've been supporting through COVID. The quality of food is always great, despite the supply chain issues. The bento box is the best deal, but I find the nuances, are more important - like the toasted rice in the green tea or the ogo seaweed. I recommend the spicy cucumbers, the tsukemono and the tataki nigiri.
