Excellent service and the food was delicious. The food came out quickly too. The music was a bit too high and it was a bit difficult to hear and have a conversation without raising our voice. Recommend this place highly.

Great food for both sushi lovers and those in search of cooked options. Service was very friendly but the kitchen was quite slow so the food came out intermittently instead of all together. Took almost 45 minutes between the first dish and the last. Overall the taste and friendliness made up for the rest. We would go back for sure.
