Had ordered for pickup, came in to pick up my food. The dude that attended me, was just rude.
Way too much pepper on rice, its inedible, they didn’t offered replacement- we can do less pepper next time??
They keep your sushi out on a delivery rack so when you get it home its all nice and warm and been sitting out.

“I received good customer service.”
I received good customer service. I've ordered sushi from this restaurant and it has been consistently delicious. The parking lot is small but I've never had an issue with finding parking. The restaurant is small I have always just picked up my food or had it delivered with no issues. I recommend the volcano roll if you like your sushi fried. And if you don't want any sauces or something on your sushi just to let them know and they can accommodate.

Small place, good sushi, I had one of the lunch specials, the fish was fresh, miso soup was pretty good and the people nice and quiet. The mango smoothie had the right amount of sugar. I will be back.

Great spot! We like sushi and were surprised to find this little gem in Alsup. They have a nice large menu in terms of their signature rolls and accommodated us when we wanted them raw not fried. Good sushi and very good prices. Try them!

“First off, Volcano roll is a must have.”
First off, Volcano roll is a must have! Crispy, crunchy and delicious! Sushi is fresh and had a very nice presentation. Sweet heart roll is sushi made into hearts! Perfect for a nice little date with your significant other. Spicy two in one roll was perfect but I didn’t really favor the texture of the ingredients. Hands down, love this new little spot we found. A real gem 💎

Sushi here was delicious! I ordered the Fantastic Roll and the Shrimp Tempura Roll. I was looking for a good sushi spot closer to my house and looks like I found it!

“My wife and I went there for lunch today, it was fantastic.”
My wife and I went there for lunch today, it was fantastic! We split the chicken teriyaki lunch special with miso soup, crab rangoon and a Godzilla roll. The food came out very quickly and it all came in to go biodegradable containers which was awesome. The staff was delightful, helpful, and very friendly. Welcome to the neighborhood! We Can't wait to stop by again!

“Been here a few times now and got their sushi lunch special.”
Been here a few times now and got their sushi lunch special. Decent sushi at decent price. It's a small carry out with 2 booths. Not intentionally for dine in. They're always friendly and nice. Which is why I'll keep coming back. I liked that the lunch special comes with a big container of soy sauce and miso soup. As a matter of fact, I might stop by for some sushi today 😆
