    Lately, the food isn't as good as it used to be. Sushi was average at best. It wasn't rolled tight and fell apart while dipping, and the slices were too big. We were seated back by the sushi bar. It was cold and noisy. Our waitress only came to our table once after our food came and drinks had been empty for a while. We had to waive her down to get our check. The restaurant could use a refresh it's looking old and worn.

    My friends and I were celebrating 2 of 3 Birthdays! We had a wonderful celebration in every aspect! We loved all the food we ordered, 2 appetitizers and the 3 sushi rolls. My friends said it was the best sushi they’ve ever had. Portions were generous. The ambiance was lovely, from the decor, the sound, and the warm server. They brought us homemade Mango Icecream for our Birthday desert. When we were finished with the food, we stayed to open gifts. A wonderful celebration. Absolutely will go back. Thank you so much for adding to our celebration!
