This is my first time here and I'm glad I stopped by and tried this place. Everything we ordered was delicious. The sushi roll and nigiri are legit. Fish tasted fresh. Sushi rice is well-seasoned. Cocktails and mocktails are creative and delicious. Grilled squid is Thai style with spicy seafood sauce. We ate sooooo much! Fast and friendly service. The decor is cute and Instagram-able. We will definitely come back.

bad customer service. My husband mad the mistake of purchasing here instead of next door. In the moment he tried ordering they were charging him like $25 instead of $9 which is the usual price of my food next door. So i went back to see if it was possible to return ( i havent even opened the bag of food at all) and they told me no but i could speak to a manager at 4:30. So i go back and they told me no again and that the manager was on vacation so i asked when they would be back and they said they didn't know and no one else knew either so i should just eat the food... I have a 18 month old and wasn't planning on spending $25 for some rice.

A cozy restaurant located in a busy plaza with a few other food spots and a Lidl. Customer service is friendly and attentive. Our favorites were the grilled yellowtail collar, red dragon roll, beef yakitori and the sashimi testing. All the other sashimis we got were really fresh & perfect temperature for consuming, not too cold but not overly room temp. Great sushi spot if you're in the area

My oh my, where do I start! We've been dying to go to this place as we heard many good things about it from family members. Well, the hype was indeed REAL! The sushi was amazing and the ambiance and energy of the place was outstanding. I started off with a Matcha Sour and it set the tone for the entire night. I ordered the double salmon roll, crunchy spicy scallop roll, and some sashimi. Everything off the rip tasted so fresh, the fish was buttery, and the presentation of everything was impeccable. The crunchy spicy scallop roll had to have been one of my favorites the entire night. I could definitely rack up the bill with how good the sushi was. We will DEFINITELY come back as this is a staple for sushi now when we visit NOVA. Thank you, Akeno!

The best sushi I've had in Nova. Our fam loves this place, so I was excited to finally have try it. The inside of the restaurant was very pretty! They had beautiful photo opportunities and the place had a great aesthetic. The service was attentive and kind. They're very quick at picking up plates once they're empty. I didn't order a drink, but everyone else's drinks were pretty. I could tell they put a lot of thought into presentation, especially with the details on the drinks and the unique folders for the sushi The sushi was delicious. Funny enough, my favorite roll was one that Rex ordered: the Crunchy Spicy Scallop Roll. I could've even eaten 10 of that roll. My next favorites were the sake toro and eel nigiri. Had a wonderful experience and will be back again when we're in the area.

We had a takeout dinner for a bunch of people. Thai food was quite good but this is not the place to go for sashimi. Also don't bother with the salmon skin salad.

This place is simply the cutest find with absolutely delicious food! Service: we secured our reservations through Yelp and it appears that there was an issue because they couldn't find my name so that held us up a bit. Nonetheless, some of the staff were friendly while others made us feel rushed to finish up our meals in hopes of securing the table...speaks to the fact that this place is very small and large groups would not be comfortable. Thanks to our waiter Wee, who shared his duties with some of the other staff as he was working a lot of areas. Ambiance: I absolutely LOVE the decor, it brings Asian culture to the forefront with a very stylish approach. The bathroom was beautifully decorated and I must note that they had a changing table in the bathroom! I support establishments that allow moms to care for their kids without issues! With mention of change table, I would say that this place isn't small child friendly nor couples friendly as the noise level was way too high and given the size of the place, you cannot be comfortable to lead an intimate conversation nor have a small child be free. It's probably better for anyone not really desiring to speak much and instead enjoy great food. Drinks: My boyfriend and I ordered sake as I have never thought to try it and wanted to give it a go. We opted for the Yuzu Sake: Yuzu Omoi Citrus Dream ($11) 3oz (menu description) which was a nice serving size complimented by an adorable rose shaped ice cube. Appetizers: Crab Rangoon and Gyoza Crab Rangoon- STOLE the show of ALL of the things that we ordered. This was a small yet powerful dish which literally burst with flavor upon each bite. I would highly recommend these are they were absolutely delicious. Gyoza: this was my least favorite dish because I can tell that water entered some of the dumplings and they had a very soggy/watery taste. The meat inside lacked any type of seasoning and it wasn't enjoyable at all. Main entree: Kaprow Beef and Red Dragon Roll Both of these dishes were STELLAR! And like the crab Rangoon, they won for flavor! The Kaprow beef was tender, well seasoned and drenched in the most delicious Thai basil chili sauce paired with onions, broccoli, and red peppers (side of white rice). This is shareable, trust me, no one person can eat this in one sitting. I was stuffed after a few bites so my boyfriend and I enjoyed sharing this moment and taste experience together. Red Dragon Roll! Ooooooo baby, this is some delicious sushi. The dish breakdown: Shrimp tempura / avocado / cucumber topped with spicy tuna / tobiko / eel sauce / spicy mayo. (Menu description) The presentation: very creative! Like the Kaprow, this is a shareable dish and one not to be missed at all. It was scrumptious! Price for two: $71.95-Not bad for a wholesome dining experience. Would I return? Of course! For that cuisine experience, I will visit again. I wish however, that the music was lowered to balance of the space and prevent guests from yelling lol Aside from this, the decor and food was worth all of my time!

The service was good and the special rolls (Minami and Amako Masuri) were great and presented beautifully, we ended up ordering multiple of the amako masuri and a red dragon and they were all really good Of the regular rolls, we ordered the Philly and Hawaiian- these were pretty standard The green curry was very bland and if I blind tasted it I wouldn't be able to tell you that it was Thai food, i asked if they had any chili oil or anything to add some flavor (I'm not usually the one to make anything spicy at all but i don't think I would have finished it without adding anything) so the waitress brought out maybe a singular tablespoon of sriracha and then charged me for it it was fine it was only 50¢ but that seemed so broke to me. The mocktails we got were so pretty and handcrafted, the momo mojito tasted like something from bath and body works Staff was super nice and the food wasn't bad but I would definitely order more sushi than the Thai options bc the specialty rolls would have me come back

Food is good, but portions are small for the price. It's not inexpensive. Unfortunately, if you want to do the unlimited, everyone in your group MUST order it as well. All or none. The chairs.....SO uncomfortable. Not meant for eating at. It was like having a "tea" with a child. Servers have been 50/50. One seemed put out that she was there working. The most recent was really nice. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend but it's not horrible.
