Great sushi in a more authentic environment than usual! LOTS of specialty rolls and a good lunch menu and happy hour.Their salted garlic edamame was bomb.

Wait staff acted as if they could care less that we were their. Got the Friday special Bento. Tempura was good but the miso soup was very weak, the teriyaki chicken was so over cooked it was like eating shoe leather and the rice had no flavor at all.

I arrived just after 8 pm so I bet they were not happy about that. My rolls had the smallest pieces of fish on top. This has happened before, it must be a certain chef because it doesn't happen eveytime. Well they lost a loyal customer. Maybe they should make rolls with less pieces so they can put a regular size piece of fish on top.

Great place to dine in. First time eating here, and everything was great. Service was good, and the patio seating option was great for my friend and I.

Last Wednesday I went there with colleagues. It looks small from outside but it was roomy and nice wall art.Due to the food allergies unfortunately I can't eat seafood but I did enjoy some appetizers as well as kalbi. Agedashi tofu was diced cut easy to eat for everyone. Just wished if there is more soup with it. Kalbi was tender and perfectly cook I enjoyed it. My colleagues enjoyed their hand rolls, sushi and others. I'd like to revisit there.

Their Korean BBQ rib lunch special was awesome! I would definitely go there again if I’m in town. Reasonable prices too. Excellent service and quality.Parking: There’s a parking lot, free but have to find a spot.

Came back with mom and had a better service experience. Still good food and always want to pump up the neighborhood establishments. Looking forward to coming back.Cautiously optimistic. one bad day shouldn't ruin a good neighborhood restaurant.Parking: Shared strip-mall parking sometimes difficult to find a spot near by

Good spot. Inexpensive for sushi. Service is very friendly and we've been here several times. The sushi itself isn't top tier, but then again neither is the price.For management: please make the Ponzu correctly. I asked for a side and it tasted like straight soy sauce! Zero citrus!
