Terrific small Japanese restaurant with delicious food, friendly staff and fast service. The prices are reasonable. There is parking out front.

Huge language barrier, check your take out orders before leaving. A wild salmon and tuna combo request. Nigiri is farmed salmon, roll is wild salmon. Missing wasabi a couple times, added sauce to roll when asked no sauce.Small issues but it’s a restaurant, I order what I want.

We stopped in for a late lunch November 2023. Place is small and in a grouping of other businesses. The menu has lots of choice besides sushi. Their menus is also posted online. Started with tea, which was nice. I had the assorted tempura with prawns and vegetables with side of miso soup and my hubby had Tropical teriyaki bowl which included miso soup to start. Both were very good! Small cafe restaurant with not too many tables, and we saw some people arriving to do take out. Overall atmosphere was pleasant as was our server. We would definitely go back again.Vegetarian options: Lots of choice if looking for dishes with no meat. The menu is posted online so can check it out ahead of time.Parking: There are a few spots outside of the restaurant, however there are more further along. Angle parking in very small strip mall type location. We managed to get a spot right out front.

Mom & Pop restaurant. Ordered Sashimi, and 2 rolls. The sashimi was good, the rolls had way too much rice. Wanted Sapporo, only offered Kirin and Asahi. service was just OK.

Lunch date with my wife. We are sushi lovers. I’ve had a couple good meals here but today was THE worst sushi I have ever had. The “Ugly Truth” roll had cheap cheddar and mozzarella cheese sprinkled all over it and melted with a torch.. the scallops had no flavour under the cheese. The roll was tiny and tasted horrible, of plastic burnt cheese.The waitress had zero concern for my expression of dissatisfaction and disappointment.The assorted tempura was edible but soggy, the mushroom should have been cut in half before it was fried.I won’t be going back.

Tasty and not over priced like most. Good fresh hot food. Good size dining room for gatherings- reserve for groups of 10+. Friendly service.

Staff were pleasant and sushi was tasty, however the portion sizes left a lot to be desired. I ordered a sushi combo, my husband two special rolls for dinner. We finished our meals still hungry. We expected more for the price of meals.

My son took me here for lunch a while back. This place had amazing food. They were short staffed but still kept the grove going! During these hard times where every place has no staff.. these guys made it happen! Thank you for staying open.. and thank you for great food! I also love the decor! It made me feel very comfortable, and welcome! :)

Food is okay, decor is a madly thrown Together, hideous mix of thrift store art and unkept plants with strings of Christmas lights, some working, others not. Only one server on a Friday night, we waited quite a while, and meals came 15 minutes apart. Not coming back!
