One of my favorite restaurants in town. They never fail to impress me with their appetizers and sushi rolls, the bento boxes are phenomenal too.

My husband and I have been twice since the opening and the food is so good, it's what our little town needed. We went on on Tuesday evening to dine in and it was super busy.

The flavor was okay the shrimp was kinda chewy. Rice was pretty bland, and veggies were good but portion wise not much. It wasn't bad but for a new restaurant I thought it could be better.
