i’ve been coming here for the last three years, and it’s hands down my favorite sushi spot. the quality is always incredible, everything tastes fresh, and i’ve honestly never had a bad meal here. what keeps me coming back isn’t just the food—it’s the people. the staff is always so welcoming, friendly, and remembers their regulars, which makes every visit feel special. the service is consistently amazing, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. if you’re looking for a place with delicious sushi, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is it. after three years of coming here, i can confidently say i’ll keep recommending it to everyone i know. thank you for always being so consistent and making every visit a great experience!

Got their Mango Tango, Angel, and California rolls. All amazing! Service and ambiance were outstanding too. Pricing wasn’t bad either. Will be back.

Apparently popular among NU students, this place gets busy in a hurry and for many good reasons. Appetizers and ramen were very good and cocktails were also tasty. That said, all-you-can-eat is not as good of a deal as it indicates given that it is not exactly all you can eat. While all of the restrictions, including everyone at the table has to opt into all-you-can-eat, or limiting number of selected items, are understandable, it is disappointing to find out that it is not what is expected. Plus, the servers move around slowly, which limits the progress during 2-hour limit. I would suggest against this option.
