★★★★★ 5.0 Anne Baker · Dec 2025

I came here in the mid-afternoon looking for a place to relax and grab a good bite- and boy did I find it. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The small dining space was perfectly quiet and cozy. I can wait to go back again. I got the salmon belly nigiri, sunset roll and mango roll!

★★★★★ 5.0 Lucas Poyser · Nov 2025

Their poke bowl was so good!! I had the salmon and it was incredibly fresh. Staff was friendly and even chatted with another customer next to us. Their sushi also looked amazing. Couple behind us didn’t finish the boat they ordered and I almost asked if they could bring the rest over to me and my friend 😂

★★★★☆ 4.0 Bobbi DeAnda · Jul 2025

Solid spot! You order and then sit… there’s limited seating - little hole in the wall, but yummy! The sweet potato tempura was my fav! Wish they had a full bar… they were the only sushi place open late in that area on a Friday night. Would def go back! Also, their bathroom has a bidet!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dondré · Feb 2025

This small, neighborhood sushi spot offers a pleasant, if somewhat cozy, dining experience. The sushi is generally good, satisfying that craving for classic rolls, and they also offer a few more creative options that are worth exploring. The intimate size of the restaurant contributes to a more exclusive and personal atmosphere, which some diners will appreciate. However, this also means that seating is very limited. The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, providing good service that enhances the overall dining experience. If you're looking for a low-key, intimate sushi meal with good service, this place is a solid choice.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Kevin Hagmeier · Mar 2026

I really really hate not giving this place five stars because the food is good and we’ve had and we have had good experiences but I have had multiple take out experiences that have been incredibly poor. I’ve had them say 40 minutes and it’s been 90 minutes in reality so you are just sitting there for almost an hour after your estimated pick up. I’m understanding of 10ish minutes of buffer but double the estimate is just beyond unacceptable.
