★★★★★ 5.0 Elise von Gleich · Nov 2025

The sushi is amazing! The hibachi shrimp had the perfect crunchy outside and were super tender on the inside. Owners are lovely people and you can tell through the energy of the food. Would highly recommend!

★★★★★ 5.0 Larry Adams · Sep 2024

Tables are widely spaced so even if it's full it's never crowded. The space is nicely decorated and always spotless. You order at the counter and they bring the order to your table. Lots of photos for those who need a visible when ordering. Portionare generous but their focus is quality. Flavors are phenomenal!

They will take your order incorrectly and tell you the ticket doesn’t state what you asked for. Well, isn’t that obvious? Argue with you and waste your time until you give up. Then offer for you to pay more for what was supposed to be the first time. Ask you to waste your time and gas by driving back for you to pay more and waste more time. There’s other Japanese style restaurants that offer better value and quantity than this place. I go here sometimes because they are close. I won’t again. I can’t get past the raw vegetables since it’s a drive thru but I won’t tolerate horrible service too. I tried to call and settle the issue. It was an absolute awful customer service experience.

The food here is GREAT! And what is even better (and hard to come by these days) is the great customer service. Every person that has attended to us here always has a great attitude, smile on their faces, and goes above and beyond what most places do. This is definitely our new spot. Thank you guys so much!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeff Firebaugh · Feb 2026

Defiantly the best taste of Japanese food in the area. Every item was cooked perfectly. Also a big win was everything we had was half the price of ichidan or kabuki. This is our new favorite Japanese restaurant hands down.
