This is easily some of the best sushi I have ever had. The service is great (it was a Sunday night so it was rather slow), the fish is super fresh and very flavorful. The clear soup is tasty, and the lobster roll is absolutely AMAZING. You have to try it.

Great price, food, and service. We came in around opening time and were glad we did. The waiter was very attentive and made sure the food came in a timely manner. The food tasted great and was well portioned. It was a nice vibe with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Overall, I would recommend.

This place has the best sashimi I have ever had. It is super fresh. Usually I can't eat octopus at other places because it's texture is so chewy. It is perfect here. Just chewy enough... Plus, they give you a generous cut of fish, not slivers like some other places. Just be prepared to wait a little longer than you are used to. The chef takes his time to do it right and make a beautiful presentation.

Fresh and tasty. Some creative rolls like the passion roll (breaded and fried). The tricolor roll is like a cucumber salad.

This is one of my favorite places to eat for lunch. The lunch specials have a wide variety, large portions, very reasonably priced, and are delicious. If you're really hungry get their bento box, so much food! Their hot and sour soup is AMAZING. Highly recommended! (The Malaysian curry photo is the dinner portion)
