I had never been to this sushi spot and I love sushi! Went in and I was the only one in the whole place. The experience was awesome and food came quick. The fish was delicious and worth every penny. I highly recommend this if you enjoy sushi!

Great place. We ordered from here multiple times, tried various rolls, bento boxes, everything always tastes awesome. When visiting in person, prefer to take noodles they are delicious when fresh, and the portions are enormous. Will definitely visit order from here again.

Small hole in the wall where not only is the food delicious and fresh, but the service is incredible. Never had to wait for anything requested but they werent pushy either. Fine balance of being there just enough for every request. Had two items from complete opposite sides of the menu and both were on point.
