Reviews
Walking into the restaurant, I felt like I was back in Japan. The place has a traditional Japanese vibe with chef and staff shouting out, “Irasshaimase!” Welcome!
Japanese music is in the background. The sushi bar was a great place to sit, as I like to watch the sushi chef work his magic in forming and creating beautiful dishes with the fresh seafood.
There is a sign at the bar stating that it could take time to get an order out if there’s only one chef. That was the case yesterday. I didn’t mind at all, as I knew, based on the food I saw, I would be getting top quality, fresh sushi. And I did!
I ordered the sashimi lunch ($21.50), which included a side. I selected the kimchee. The kimchee was delicious! I was given a small plate of edamame, which was marinate in some sort of sauce. Very tasty.
The sashimi plate had 12 pieces, which I ate all of it! My favorite was the salmon and octopus. It came with a side of white rice.
Service by Sophia was very nice. She was attentive. From what I could see, everyone was friendly and seemed to enjoy their job.
When I got the bill, there was a charge for “Non-cash adjustment” in the amount of $0.86. I was paying in cash and was told it would be removed. The updated bill showed -$0.83 but still had the $0.86, which was not removed. Even at the bottom, it states, “We offer a cash discount.” Oh well.
Overall, a great place for lunch in an authentic Japanese atmosphere.
The restaurant is cozy and comfortable with a relaxed vibe. We highly recommend the Black Cod Miso soup and the Salmon Croquettes. The sushi was really good as well!
The place seems to be always busy, so make sure to reserve a table before heading that way. We will definitely return soon!
This place is hands-down the best sushi spot in Wilmington. The location is super convenient, and everything about the experience is top-notch. My favorite rolls are the Matt’s Special and the Fire Cracker — both are packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The homemade kimchee is a must-try — absolutely delicious!
Lana and the entire staff are incredibly warm, welcoming, and professional. You’ll need a reservation to dine in, but it’s well worth planning ahead. Highly recommend!
