The place is very cleAn and the food is FRESH. I mean mean really fresh. Even the simple lettuce salad was crunchy and tasty. The service is excellent. We had all different rolls and I was really impressed. It is hidden in the shopping plaza, but worth visiting.

Excellent food, amazing sushi, very good service. Been there 3 times so far and it has always been a pleasure. It can get quite busy so i'd recommend to call ahead. We really liked all the spicy-crunchy sushi maki rolls - good stuff!

Never disappointed! Wonderful customer service. Portions are perfect and tasty. I highly recommend any of the soups on the menu. Everything is great!
