We go here all the time and it’s literally one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food is always amazing and the service is the best I’ve ever seen.

I loveeee this place! The food is always AMAZING, the staff is AMAZING! Miranda is the absolute best! She makes our day when we come in and the overall service is hard to beat! If there are ever issues with orders they are happy to fix, but that never happens. We never leave unsatisfied in all aspects. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Excellent food, absolutely top notch service. The service alone is worth the visit but the food is super good. We had them make a chef's choice roll and it ended up being my favorite. Also they have a lot of saki variations, even a saki flight! Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who asked!

Yummy! Great sashimi. New staff so had to ask for items several times. But would come again. (No rice just sashimi lunch special. Also not pictured is the miso soup and ginger salad. Asked for grilled veggies instead of rice. They subbed but normally don't)
