The sushi and service were spectacular. Fish selection was great. Every single bite I had from the Special Sushi Sampler was different and packed with great flavors. The portion sizes of the fish were a little too generous compared to the rice but in the end it was a great bonus. It showed off the freshness and quality of the cuts they use. The service staff were very attentive the moment we walked through the doors and worked very hard to deliver a great meal service.

Almost as fresh as the Tsukiji fish market. Best sushi and sashimi we have had outside of Japan. Thank you very much for a delightful meal, we will be back for more.

Above and beyond the best sushi in Vermont. All of the fish is amazingly fresh and everything is prepared authentically. I loved this place as Bento but now love all of the additional offerings on the menu. The only bad part about this place is that it will ruin you for other sushi :)

Sushi is amazing. You need Sushi Maeda in your life.

This place has amazing sushi in the classic japanese style. I've been an enthusiastic consumer for decades now, and enjoyed some of the best in New York, Tokyo and Seoul, and this place totally stacks up. It's a gorgeous space, and they're slowly adding items to then menu. The service is at a relaxed pace, so not a good option for a quick bite, but the service itself is excellent. Very friendly, upbeat, polite and knowledgeable.

There was a small issue with their ticketing system when we placed our order, and thus we had a delay -- but it wasn't a big deal, as I was enjoying some Japanese whiskey and catching up with a friend.Our food was amazing. Definitely some of the best sushi I've had in VT and I've been to almost all sushi places in the area. Service was good too. It's a little on the pricey side but as they say: you get what you pay forOverall, was impressed and will definitely be back ????

Recently opened location (less than a year)I definitely think there were some highlights and some lowlights.Highlights were definitely the wait/bar staff. Shae (sp?) and Shane were amazing bartenders - very talkative and engaging, loved their service and just very nice people.Food wise - I think my miso soup was fantastic, the seaweed salad was okay. I got the chef sushi plate and that was kind of disappointing. Just very standard for the price. The volcano roll was also good - but again I think I missed out on like a crazy punch of flavor or something interestingly done with the sushi.The food was good - just not great and the prices were definitely more on the greater side.The space itself is nice and big - though underutilized. I believe they just started a robatayaki grill which looked cool but was too busy to sit at.A lot of potential - I just don't think they are "there" yet.

Went on Saturday night and sushi was delicious and so fresh. There was a wait but it was worth it and I’d do it again in a heartbeat as they are a new restaurant that opened during the pandemic and are trying their best during these rough times. Tried the sushi assortment which is fantastic but next time planning on trying the special sushi assortment! Also had fresh california roll and spicy tuna which tasted fantastic (but forgot to take a photo). The spicy sauce didn’t take over the taste of the fish and had a perfect balance.

Diner date with my loving wife at our new favorite sushi restaurant. Wonderfully located. Service staffs are happy to greet & meet you. Sushis was amazingly fresh. ❤️??? ????????❤️
