The service and atmosphere were nice, but I had the yaki udon with shrimp which was rather tasteless. This dish is my favorite at another restaurant so I was looking forward to finding it elsewhere. Before ordering, I’d asked if there were vegetables in it. The server said yes. Well a few thin slivers of carrots were the only veggies. The dish consisted of six shrimp on a bed of noodles with little flavor. In the future I’ll stick with my other restaurant.

Not bad not great, just average. Restaurant was completely empty on a Monday evening.

Great sushi, but be prepared for $$.

The best. Always space available, main server is so nice. Love coming here

This is a nice low key sushi place. The atmosphere is usually quiet, even on the weekends.The sushi rolls are well made and taste great. The avocado salad is one of the main reasons why we like to come here. The service from staff ranges from okay to good, while prices are a little high.Overall I really enjoy coming here. It's a little hidden gem that many don't know about.

Stopped in at less than prime time. Probably a mistake. Had light casual meal of pork dumpling appetizer and tempura shrimp appetizer with veggies; started with a glass of sauvignon blanc, polished off with hot tea. Food was very good. Indeed I was captivated. However, service was not only painfully slow, it was provided with zero interest in me as a diner. What began to look like a first visit quickly became a thing of the past. Further, the entrance is almost scarily unattractive—a dirty, dismal and off-putting initiation to the pretty space within. Worth a try; not enticing for another visit.

The Mongolia beef was so hot that it ended up burning the inside of my mouth and a chunk of skin off of my face because the sauce ran down my lips. The owners refused to respond to my Facebook message so I had to resort to Google to warn anyone that may want to try them out. You may get hurt and they won't care.

Mostly had sushi but it was a good mix of inexpensive sushi rolls with some nicer specialties. The tatsuta age is interesting, tastes almost like a fancy Japanese McNuggetb with a nice sauce, recommend trying it out.

Our friend is moving away so we decided to meet here for a farewell dinner. There is one thing I really appreciate about this place - their menu. They had photos of the sushi maki rolls with descriptions, so you can see what you're ordering. We ordered 6 different rolls (and 3 appetizers) and were pleased with every single one of them. Although we were greeted a little slower than we'd like, the kitchen was fast, food was good, and service was too.

Food and service were so good, and the portions are very nice. Loved the teriyaki tofu and shrimp rolls.
