Reviews
I was greeted by friendly staff & served by a professional team that cares about their customers. The sushi I ate was recommended by the sushi chef. I think it’s called “The Flying Shrimp” and it was scrumptious
I’ll be back for sure!
I loved how the restaurant was decorated. It is huge despite what it looks like from outside. The restaurant is long and narrow *pause* and there are, what seems like, an infinite amount of seats there. The ceilings illuminate different colors, and the walls have a way blue pattern. The whole restaurant is extremely pleasing to the eye. From the decor to the color pallete, everything is gorgeous.
The service was great. Our server Cherry was extremely attentive. At one point, my sister expressed displeasure with her drink, and Cherry was quick to make another right away to my sister’s pleasure. I think the server was new, but was knowledgeable and extremely present. The happy hour menu is huge. There are a ton of options to choose from. We had quite the spread including: Edamame, Spring Roll, Shumai, Curry Chicken Dumpling, and the Rolex Sushi Roll. The food was decent, it is not the best sushi I ever had, but for the value, it is well worth it. Their prices for everything are great for your pockets, even the drinks are extremely cheap, which I find is a lost art in the happy hour game. I should mention, however, the drinks are not strong at all, so this isn’t the place to get wasted when you had a bad day at work lol. Perfect hang out place for friend groups or a calm after work date.
Pair this with the modern decor and quiet setting and you have a very classy after work spot for cocktails and Sushi.
I had spicy Tuna, Boston, and california rolls. The sushi taste was awesome and looked great.
For my meal I had the Teriyaki Chicken which was really good and a good size portion. This was not on the happy hour menu but was def worth a try.
I had a mango Martini and a cosmo for my drinks. Both drinks were strong as an ox even tho I missed my martini glass.
I will be back for lunch to see about their bento box. Or maybe for happy hour again to try the large assortment of dumplings 😉
Owner was a little rude at first. So much so that the people sitting at the table beside us told us you guys should stay “The food is really good”. We listened to him and the food was amazing. The atmosphere was even better.
The Dog roll was amazing
