“ I love the stews and curries here. Sushi and poke of course. Friendly service every time and great value ”
“ I was more interested in my first time here for lunch yesterday I forgot about writing a review. But both myself and my companion enjoyed the visit (and we were told it was good by others). And the lunch deals were good. Really great for what I'm used to. And our waiter had some great humor and got me with "first bowl is free. If you want another, you'll have a fight". lol. Which is a great response for me because it strikes my personality dead on. And it was really pretty busy for a lunch which is a great sign but very well kept and very much organized, being taken care of and ran as I'd expect. Better than others I've been to nationwide. ”
“ I love this place. The interior is welcoming and pretty, and the presentation of the sushi is great. I find the fish portions to be generous and well worth the price. I have eaten here dozens of times, and the fish is always fresh. ”
“ Great little spot to grab some quick sushi. I love that they had a 6 piece salmon nigiri - it was a good deal. I got a spicy tuna & "golden California" roll (with tobiko on top) as well as the salmon, hot tea, and tempura ice cream as a palate cleanser. Overall quite good, though the rolls were nothing too special. (But they were pretty much just standard rolls). ”
“ I generally love this place and have been here many times. The staff is wonderful and the portions generous. I did have to knock off a star though because my tuna nigiri was staining the rice red. This is not a normal thing and I've had sushi since I was 10. Especially tuna. It made me wondered if the fish was dyed a deeper red. I do not believe the owners would do so intentionally and it has never happened before there. The salmon was buttery and perfect but I was disappointed in the tuna and recommended to the staff that they talk to their fish vendor about it. I am not sure the people I talked to understand what I was trying to explain. They may be being given altered fish. I have no complaints on any other dish they were all great if a little loosely rolled. But they arrived fast. I really do love this place just sad about the tuna this time. ”
“ The food was INCREDIBLE! The ambiance, service and atmosphere is bar none If I could give 10 stars I would! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! ”
“ The place is not fancy, but dang is it good. The ambience is very casual. We got the Beno box is yummy. The wine is great. The place was packet. I think you should come ”
“ We got salmon skin roll, salmon mango, salmon avocado, eel, spicy salmon, and caterpillar roll. Everything was up to expectations. The ratio of rice to filling was spot on. There was a nice sesame oil flavor in the spicy salmon roll. The salmon skin was nice and crispy. The order was ready earlier than expected. ”
“ This place is quite different from the Canton locale. Less Thai food for sure. No worries because I was taking my sister for a bento box specifically. It's more crowded and seems a lot less put together than Canton, too. The food was very good. We all got a shrimp tempura bento with a fried California roll for a dollar upcharge. Good salad and miso soup to start. The tempura veggies were crispy and delish. Good sides of spring roll, shumai and dumplings. Oranges were fresh. Shrimp was excellent, and even the rice was nicely done. Service was fine. Fountain drinks were watery. I should have gotten tea. Somehow, it just felt cheaper here atmosphere wise. I would come back but I'd much rather visit the more serene other location with more variety. This will do nicely in a pinch. ”
“ Everything was beautifully presented. Generous amount of food. Taste good but not unforgettable. Love the dishes they use. ”
