    “This is my favorite sushi restaurant! I am a huge fan of nigiri and the slices of fish you get are very generous, they'll even throw in some pieces of sashimi from time-to-time. My go-to order is salmon, yellowtail, tuna, and sweet shrimp ebi. Unfortunately, I really can't recommend the rolls here, so if you're a fan of rolls you may not agree with the rating. But the nigiri is some of the best I've had! The atmosphere is very fitting of a japanese restaurant and it's fun for larger group outings. If you're in small numbers, eat at the bar and you'll get free miso soup and edamame included. You'll see me here about once a month. Say hi to sushi chef Chris for me!”
