TRY THE TUNA PIZZA!!! I was skeptical but my husband wanted to order it just for fun. It was the best thing I have tasted in a long time. It changed my view on fusion foods. On Valentine’s Day they gave free roses! BEWARE CASH ONLY.

Cash only and BYOB- i recommend bringing at least $100 if it’s for two of you. No reservation needed and the food is always amazing. This is my boyfriend and i favorite sushi in the city. The crispy rice is off the menu and we also love the tuna bombs. They are so nice in here and it’s just the best truly!

I used to live a few doors down from the restaurant, and every time I walked past it, it was always packed. I’m glad that I finally came and give it a try. For appetizers, I got a crispy calamari. It came super quick, within 5 minutes after I placed my orders. The batter was light and crispy. The calamari was tender. However, the sauce paired with it was a bit strange. It was the ginger dressing you’d get when you go to a regular Japanese restaurant, the kind on top of the salad. It didn’t go very well with the calamari. I also ordered an ikura sushi and a scallop sushi. Both were nice. The scallop was soft and tender, but the natural sweetness was a bit too mild. The ikura was nice and not too salty. The rice was slightly warm, but not sour enough. In addition, the rice was falling apar

While this had been a favorite local spot they have been hit with Skimpflation the shrimp rolls now have a sliver of shrimp with mostly cucumber while Salmon avocado rolls still have a nice bit of salmon. The chicken strips are not described as fried on the menu.

The experience was very nice. The food was tasty and the service was friendly and efficient. Overall the evening was OK. This place is cash only which is fine. My only problem is compared to the offering, it is overpriced.
