Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Edamame stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Solid spot. The Ahi Crispy Rice is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Mixed feelings. The Spicy Tuna Roll was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Great sushi & poke option for the area. The California Roll was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Edamame was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Spicy Tuna Roll and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
