“ This place is a relatively new discovery and I'm so glad we tried it. We've been twice now and both times the sushi rolls were delicious. I appreciate the good size of the specialty rolls and not as expensive as other places. It makes sushi night an option more often. The server was great also, we enjoyed talking with her about Japan both times we've visited. ”

“ My first time at this great little restaurant. Surprisingly the food was great and the customer service was even better. A small out of the way Japanese sushi restaurant that was quiet and quaint. I’ll be coming back here again! ”

“ Good value for the food and service that you get. We got the two item combo and I have to say I was not impressed with the mushy rice and the heavy batter on the tempura but they make interesting little salads. In fact their green salad is the best I’ve had in a Japanese restaurant. Do not get the Inari sushi as it is tasteless though the tskimino is good to add into it. ”

“ Visiting from Vancouver Canada. The place was clean. Food was great. Tried their scallop roll. It was awesome, crispy outside and the scallops are fresh; at least they did not taste like frozen scallops. ”
