Birthday dinner out with the wife. The staff member named Leon was amazing! He made our night. Food was top notch, and the flavors of the fish excellent! Easy parking, great atmosphere. And a surprise for her birthday!

Had a great time! I think the it’s a great value for the quality, and would definitely come back. The fish portions are generous, the rice is cooked well and nicely seasoned, and there’s some creative and fun roll options. Also enjoyed the appetizers!

Great sushi for the prices. They have all you can eat. I didn't do that. I ordered sashimi regular plate. 12 large pieces of fresh flavorful sashimi. Beautiful presentation. Included soup and salad. Cocktails also great. Very fair pricing here. Highly recommend. Only caveat is come with patience for service speed. Worth it though.

Solid sushi spot for all you can eat. The fish always tastes fresh and I haven’t had a roll I don’t like. Essentially every roll is on the all you can eat roll except for a few of their more bougie rolls (I.e. lobster). If you’re in the loop and craving as much sushi as you can eat, it 100% worth a visit.
