The hostess immediately showed us to a booth and the waitress was very attentive, from helping us order to making sure everything was good. The food was absolutely perfect and delicious. The portion sizes were great, my niece and I each took home enough for another meal. We will definitely be back again. The ambiance was simple, but nice.
Placed a to-go order. It was ready when they said it would be. Food was fresh and delicious. Priced appropriately. We ordered a lot of different items and everything was perfect.
Always delicious food. I absolutely crave the seafood soup. The Rangoon and tempura sweet potatoes are great starters.. yum. Mixed fried rice is so good, too.
I don't like sushi rolls, so I had the hibachi chicken. It was delicious and the portions were huge! I was so sad when I left and almost went straight back, because I forgot my leftovers on the table! Lol
A friend and I stopped in for dinner and we were lucky enough to have Alex as our server. She was extremely knowledgeable when it came to helping me with my gluten allergy and kept my friend's drinks full without us needing to ask. The food was delicious as well. I'll definitely be back thanks to Alex!
I absolutely love this place. It's small so sometimes there is a wait, but I totally think it's worth it. The food is absolutely amazing! And the drinks are great too. Everything is so fresh.
Quite yummy. I'm not usually one to get just rolls, I prefer ramen. But I wanted something not too heavy and these really hit the spot. Service was great and the food came out quite quickly. I also got the pork dumpling miso soup which sounded like an odd combo but was also good.
Pretty good choice for sushi. I had a busy day and wasn't looking to think a whole lot about dinner so I asked the bartender (double-duty as my waiter) for a few recommendations. Started with something from the specials board called Salmon Sliders. Showed up as two pieces with a little sauce. They were fantastic! Fresh fish wrapped around a bundle of stuff that included crab and avocado. Creative and delicious! Next recommendation was their North Shore roll. I generally don't order the 'everything we can pile onto a single sheet of nori' rolls but this one was recommended and quite delicious. Basically a tuna & avocado roll that's got fresh salmon layered on top and a bunch of different types of masago over some seaweed salad piled on top of the salmon, on top of the roll. A bit of a challenge to eat and not in the least bit authentic but still quite good. Last roll wasn't so much a recommendation as a request. I was ready to get one more and be done so I asked what came with larger/more pieces. The bartender was up-front that he preferred their fresh (not fried) rolls but I was insistent. Good but not great. Bartender's recommendations were spot-on and I should have stuck with them and picked something other than the volcano roll. Small house sale didn't suck either.
