“This place is sooo good.”
This place is sooo good! Definitely go for the happy hour! I got 3 rolls for $15 (I thought you had to get 3 for the deal, you don't 😂 I still ate them all though lol) and it was huge portions! My husband got the bulgogi bento box and it was also a huge portion. Great food and the staff were super nice too!

“Always excellent.”
Always excellent. The plum wine and the coco sake....yum!!! And the Bento box was delicious. I also liked how they were willing to make changes to the sushi and not wrap it it seaweed. I want to go back.

It is a great place to try different varieties of sushi. You can choose to have cold sushi or fried. Quite and no need reservations, reasonable price .

Really cute Japanese place close to the airport, our actual plan was to get Halal pizza from Girodano’s but had to change our plans and the wife picked this place at a walking distance. Her favourite thing was the “spicy fire” appetiser, which is made with cream cheese, jalapeno and salmon. We also had the spicy ramen noodle soup and the yakisoba (another noodle dish but stir fry). Cozy ambiance inside and the service is really good too. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to have sth asian

“We sampled several items and enjoyed them all.”
We sampled several items and enjoyed them all. The miso soup was a great start. The lobster dynamite was so tasty with a small slice of jalapeno for a nice crunch and spice. Gyoza was cooked well with a nice crisp while still soft. Vegetable udon had a nice light ginger flavor and plenty of veggies. The specialty rolls were also very good!

Stopped in here a few weeks back while I was in town for work, and this place was fantastic. Service was great, and the ramen and sushi both crushed my craving. Food tasted incredibly fresh. I would absolutely go back.

“Went here for lunch on a monday afternoon.”
Went here for lunch on a monday afternoon. Everything was alright. They offered lunch specials which I liked. We split a bulgogi bento and two specialty rolls. Everything came to about $50 I really enjoyed their tempura. It was light and crispy I just wish it came with more cause I could eat a ton of that without feeling awful. Sushi was fine. I'd probably try others. Not really a fan of their rice.
