★★★★★ 5.0 Jenny G. · Jan 2026

I had a great experience at this cozy sushi spot while visiting friends in the Metuchen, NJ area. We tried the Fuji Roll, Green Dragon Roll, Samba Roll, and fried rice, and everything was fresh, and soooo flavorful! The service, provided by who appeared to be the owner, was warm and attentive, and the music playlist added to the relaxed, welcoming vibe. I can see it being an excellent place for get-togethers, and I’d definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. 🍣 🍱

Such a cute & cozy atmosphere! My friend & I went this past weekend and we loved it! The sushi, appetizers & dessert were delicious!! BYOB as well, they supplied really cute glasses and ice bucket. I can't wait to go back, the menu was HUGE! Lots of options, I was very impressive by the unique fusion options. 10/10 experience 🙏🫶

Came for the first time during Valentine’s Day and I couldn’t have been happier. My fiancé, her parents and I truly enjoyed their fixed menu. Their prices were fair and the atmosphere was decorated elegantly and beautifully without over doing it. We wanted to lick our plates starting from the appetizer, main course, Sushi made by Leonel were marvelous and deserts were splendid. The wait was reasonable, it is also BYOB, it was a great plus! The waiter Christopher was very attentive and nice! Love this place!! Thank you for having us! We have a new favorite Japanese spot!

My fiance and I love sushi so we decided to check out this spot out and it was incredible. The best sushi we’ve had in a while. The fish and rolls tasted fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate. Even the mango mochi was delish! Definitely coming back for our next date night to explore more of the menu.
