Very nice classy place, excellent food, a little pricy but I guess this is a pricey town. The radio station music needs to go!

Meal was very rushed. Soup and salad were served together. Then appetizer roll was served before we finished the soup. Main course was brought out while we worked on the appetizer roll. As soon as we finished the waitress appeared eager to wrap up our leftovers. She didn’t even ask if we wanted dessert. The food was mediocre. Don’t understand why this place is so popular. There are so many better sushi restaurants in the area with better food and service. We will not return

Very consistent place! I have been a client for over 6 years, and they kept high quality, even during lockdown times. Sushi/sashimi are better options than heated dishes. Dinner bento boxes offer you multiple options to try a little bit of everything at a fair price. Go for it!

Amazing – I cannot fault this place, the sushi lunch box was absolutely perfect. Fresh, tasty sushi, good size portion, delicious salad with very fresh dressing *yum* and even delicious miso, which I normally pass on as I find it salty and unremarkable…errm, not at this place, it was flavorful umami yumminess. I cannot wait to try more of the menu. WOW. Highly recommend- I am delighted!

I have been coming to this place since I was a kid. It’s a very cozy location with great service. The owner is really nice and talks to everyone to make sure the experience is going great. They have great sushi and their entrees taste amazing as well.

Growing up with sushi, I tend to be more critical. As a result, I grade with heavy emphasis on the authentic ways – sashimi. Although the fish was not freezer burned, a common mistake, you could taste some oxidation from being left out too long. Also, the knife work was atrocious. It wasn’t bad plating, but each piece lacked uniformity and were too largely proportioned. These are common signs of amateur chefs.
That being said, the restaurant is still brought up by a few factors. To begin, price to portion ratio is greatly in the customer’s favor – large portions for cheap. In addition, the seating and atmosphere is resemblant of a typical restaurant in Japan. If you aren’t a hardcore sushi lover, this is really a great small restaurant, that isn’t very noticeable from the main street. They offer other dishes outside of sushi that are great.
TL;DR – not the highest quality sushi, but good prices and portions. Tons of options, resembles a small Japanese restaurant.
