Overall, it's a reliable go-to for Japanese cuisine in the area.
"Pretty fresh fish. It is a blend of mostly Japanese but also some Korean dishes on the menu. Very family friendly/a lot of options to choose from. Feels more like Japanese-western family fast food than a sophisticated Japanese dining experience, but pretty good for a small town :)"

Mix Sunimono
It is a nice vinegary appetizer. All the sea favorite you wanted, it comes with shrimp and real crab and octopus
Nigeria sushi
Sushi rice recipe is pretty standard. The rice portion is just right for a bit size. The fillet cut is good size. Width and length and thickness is okay.
The restaurant decor is a bit dated. Washroom cleanness is okay"
