"Sushi was amazing! Got the sweetheart role and the plate presentation was BEAUTIFUL! Made the plate just pop and add to the ambience. The dynamite role was seasoned to perfection not drowned in sauce and just the right crunch! Server Kate was so sweet and to round it off soft piano music to make the whole experience just wonderful!"

"Super nice atmosphere made for a perfect date night. The food was very yummy too. The jalapeño cream cheese app was our favorite! We also got the yam roll and the dynamite roll. With some hot sake! KANPAI!"

"This was my first time eating at this restaurant and I was not disappointed. The staff greeted us right away and were very attentive the whole time. We were given warm towels to wipe our hands with before the meal. Aesthetically it was very pleasing to look at! Very chic and modern atmosphere. I had the Hawaiian poke bowl which was very delicious! Highly recommend."
