“From the first sip of the miso soup, I knew we were in for a treat. Easily one of the best I've had! The house salad was very fresh and vibrant. Don't miss out on the deluxe rolls. Not only did they arrive beautifully presented, but each bite was truly a sushi lover's dream 😋. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. This is a lovely clean and cozy place. Will definitely be back soon!”
“Amazing!!! I love sushi and this is some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was so fresh—from the fish to the veggies and even the ginger, you can tell it’s all high quality. We also had the chicken fried rice and it was flavorful and delicious. Our waitress was so sweet and the atmosphere great—clean and well decorated. We’ll be back for sure!”

“What a hidden gem! My wife and I found this place the other night and we couldn’t have been more delighted. The staff was incredibly nice, and the sushi was delicious! The spicy tuna and hamachi dragon rolls were especially noteworthy. Can’t wait to come back!”
“Seriously some of the best tasting affordable sushi I have ever had. My husband and I came for dinner and the staff is so nice and we loved the miso soup, cucumber salad, spicy tuna roll, dragon roll, sweet potato tempura roll and salmon roll. Can’t wait to come back!”
“Great food, kind servers and people who care about their product. The decor is more modern Asian dinner (purple and white are the main colors), that wasn’t quite our vibe, but the food and service made up for it. Very reasonable cost for the quality of what we were served. Will definitely go back again!”
“HEY!!!!! Everybody go to this place! It’s so worth it. We’ve been looking for a new great sushi place and this is officially it! The sushi is so fresh and so good, and the people serving it and making it are truly the friendliest. You can tell they’re putting their all into this place. And I love the whale lights for the table!!!”
“The food here was so good! And the portion sizes are huge. We could not finish our meal and we came in starving 😁 The owners were very sweet and accommodating. They had a discount for some items for their grand opening which was nice! We can’t wait to come again to check out some different sushi rolls. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and craving sushi, or rice or teriyaki! Everything was delicious”
