"Once again absolutely love this place, make it a monthly to every other month kind of get together with friends. Food fantastic every single time. Waitresses awesome couldn't all for more."

- Brennan J.

"Great hibachi salmon and sushi here! We got the mermaid roll, alaska roll, eel roll, oshinko roll, and kanpyo roll. Green tea to drink. Very affordable place but with quality raw salmon and tuna and fluffy sticky rice. The hibachi comes with generous size portions and delicious sauce. We ate some sushi before snapping the picture."

"We had greater expectations. It might have been an off night and our waitress told us "we have a new cook that's training", but it was not a good experience. The soup didn't have much flavor. The Sushi was ok. The potstickers were the best part of the meal, although not pan fried enough for my husband's liking. We each ordered Hibachi, me-chicken, him- shrimp. Both were over cooked. The chicken tasted old and was really dried out to the point we couldn't eat it. His shrimp was also very over cooked. The waitress was pleasant. When she saw we didn't eat the food, she asked if we wanted to-go but we told her no and that it was so dried out. She apologized and said there was a new cook and she'd give us the employee discount. My meal was $13.99. The discount was $2.79. I don't know that she even told anyone else about the mistake. My husband's was $18.99. For overcooked shrimp. Our entire bill was over $50, plus the tip; and we ordered with the hope to take food to go for the next day. It was a great disappointment. The sushi was ok - came out relatively fast. The salad that came with the meal was ok, my husband said the dressing was interesting- almost a gel consistency. Not sure we'd ever give this place another try. It also was not "clean" feeling. So, our recommendation is try at your own risk. Maybe the "new cook" will be more experienced and do better."

"This was my first time here and I had a wonderful experience. I ordered the gyoza, futo maki, and crunch spicy shrimp roll. The food was fantastic! Our server was very friendly, and the owner even came out and made sure we were having a good experience. Overall, we had a great time. We will definitely be coming here again."

- Chasey P.

"The service was super friendly and fun. Some of the best sushi I've ever had. 8 months later- My husband and I regularly eat out here. We both agree that it is still the best sushi out of anything we have ever tried. So many great flavors, textures and ingredients that make it to die for."

- Ab T.

"The environment of the restaurant was very calming and the waitress we had was very nice. If this is your first time trying Japanese style food and get this waitress she is very informed and excellent at her job. The food we ordered was two different types of sushi. The first was the Vegas roll and the second was the special which was the harvest roll. The Vegas roll a 6 piece sushi was deep fried with crab meat, cream cheese, sweet potato, and spicy tuna. I typically don't like deep fried rolls but this one was fantastic. The harvest roll was a 10 piece roll with tempura soft shell crab, kanpyo, cheddar cheese in the center. The outside was topped with salmon and spicy tuna. Drizzled with eel sauce, kewpie mayo, and sriracha chili sauce. Lastly it was topped with tobiko green onion and sesame seeds. This roll was mildly spicy because of the Siracha but overall was a decent roll and I would recommend at least trying this roll once. The appetizer I ordered was a spicy crab Rangoon which I found interesting because it went a tad beyond the regular crab Rangoon with sweet sauce. I personally didn't like it but I applaud the effort to bring something new to an otherwise basic appetizer. The last thing I got was their Nabeyaki Udon which out of all the food I sampled from Hokkaido was my favorite. Excellent presentation and good taste. I mainly gave this restaurant a five star for the service. Although not completely authentic to Japanese standards it is still a good restaurant that you won't regret coming to."

"I've been here many times and I have always loved it, Foods always great, even when they have a rush food comes out in a timely manner ( I haven't been in a large group though so I would know about that, I only go in with one other person) I'd guess I'd spend an average of 45 minutes inside."
