Love that it’s small portion and it’s so affordable! You are able to try multiple rolls VS. ordering one roll that is so big you can not try others.

I loved the sushi here and the spicy miso soup. I had the spicy crispy salmon and mini Godzilla rolls which were both fantastic and the service was excellent. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Got sushi delivered to airport hotel and was pleasantly surprised how amazing it was! The sweet potato maki were some of the best I’ve had and were especially crispy and flavorful. The avocado and asparagus rolls were also very fresh and yummy.

New to the area but been here 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Great value for the food quality they offer. Service just gets better each time. They have a warm towel service to start the meal and staff if super friendly and kitchen is fast to the get out your food even with all the delivery app orders that they constantly have. The Salmon teriyaki special is a great value for all that comes with the meal.
