Was hankering for sushi and decided to try this local spot since I was in the area for the first time and wanted to wait out rush hour today. Luckily it was happy hour when I walked in and I tried the spicy calamari, dynamite roll and the salmon kama. It wasn’t bad (not amazing but not bad at all) and it was all very reasonably priced. The BEST part of the meal was the oh-so-refreshing “sake sangria”? I’m not sure what it was called, but I wanted something cold and refreshing (this heatwave has been intense!!) that wasn’t sweet. I don’t like sweet drinks and this hit the spot. It was a white wine/sangria/sake blend of sorts… I think. That was my understanding of it. Who knows, it’s been so hot outside, I’m half coherent until the sun goes down. Whatever the drink was, it was perfectly cold and tasty! I came in right before the dinner rush and didn’t have to wait long to be served; that was nice, too. Good experience. Nice people. 4 stars! :)

I can only imagine the hell the fish that live in the aquarium experience as plate after delicious plate of their friends is briskly walked by them.Very good food, and the waiter had that sort of “I don’t like you” charm that’s tough to find these days. Honesty is a virtue; they owed us no courtesy here, and we received none. That’s the American dream. Much respect. Good raw fishies.

This was the first time I went to a sushi restaurant and it was a great overall experience. I had a california roll, spicy tuna roll, and some fried ice cream. Everything was fresh and reasonably priced. The service was excellent.

Great place!! My partner and I have been coming here for years now; the service is absolutely incredible and the food is even better. Quick and fast but with great flavor.A great place for a nice and simple date night.(They got fat nigiri )

Very good food! Great service! Amazing bar, and includes fish tank! Wonderful place to eat!

Their vegan menu keeps bringing my wife back. Of course, I live the seafood dishes. We celebrated our daughter's 18th birthday and enjoyed a walk through the area.

The food as a whole is good but they go a bit off the cuff. Pico de Gallo on sushi? Mix cultures all you want, just do it better. The bartender has always been on top of it and I would give her 5 stars. But the hostesses have always been aloof. Good vegan options available.

Nice place with a good amount of vegan options. The service was quick and menu was well written. The only thing to improve would be to add some more flavor into sushi.

Perhaps one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to. Super nice staff and excellent atmosphere. Vegans are welcome and they make it very clear on their menu which options are vegan. There are plenty of vegan selections too! Just call ahead as they might be busy.

Food and sake was excellent. Well priced for the area as well. Best gyoza I've had.
