This was not our first choice for dinner but were happy that we ended up here. We tried a handful of the signature rolls on the menu and every one we found to be excellent. We also tried one order of sashimi which was tasty but the signature rolls are where it's at.

Hard to believe in little Galena, but best sushi I've ever had. Wash it down with some sake for a perfect lunch!

Owner, Amy, was delightful. Being Celiac I was impressed that they offered gluten-free soy sauce. Definitely more food than one could eat, but it was good.

We love this cool sushi joint in Galena. I'm usually skeptical of Midwest sushi but we found the 10 piece platter with a spicy tuna roll to be fantastic. We got great advice from the staff for our non sushi person. The pineapple fried rice recommended was really flavorful. Little Tokyo is a favorite after one visit.

My return visit was as splendid as before. You do not expect this in Galena - but there it is as this shining gem. Gentle service, wonderful flavors, cool architecture, and a lot of variety for the timid. Give it a try.

I have ordered the Bento Box. I am not familiar with other items and the waitress had a few problems communicating in English. It is clean and all food is freshly prepared, much of it in open view. They seem to attract much repeat business which is a good sign.

We have tried numerous dishes and all have been excellent. The pineapple rice is one of our favorites! The sushi is always fresh and tasty.
