“Beautiful spread and the fish tasted so fresh. AYCE is an amazing deal.”
“The food and service was both good. Everything came out fast.”
“The servers are chill! The food is fresh tasting, I love the environment too”
“Went here and was seated immediately. Friendly staff and very good food!”
“First time trying this new spot by us. Mariah took care of us and she was exceptional. Literally everything was delicious. Didn’t have any expectations coming in but now it looks like we have a new to go sushi place. We came in with 2 little kids. No issues whatsoever. Servers were sweet and the food kept them busy. Music was great, food was fresh. BYOB currently but they’re getting their license.”
“Amazing experience. The food quality and presentation feel like fine dining, but with AYCE pricing. The ingredients are super fresh and the atmosphere is great. Definitely a hidden gem for high-quality sushi at a good price.”
“They don't have a very large selection of sashimi and they also don't have scallop 😢 but otherwise the fish is solid and service is good. I would come back!”
