We chose Hikari Sushi & Omakase to celebrate a special occasion. It was very much the experience we desired. Each bite was a different adventure and many of them will be remembered for years to come. The staff was wonderful, kind, and helpful. We enjoyed watching each course come together right in front of us and learning a good deal about where our food come from and what it was. We highly recommend this unforgettable experience!

Very nice food, thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. Service was attentive, but not intrusive. Beer and wine selections just right for us. I ordered the pork chop and my wife the gnocchi. Cost was well within reason.
