    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!

    We brought four friends here who are from out of town and they were fascinated. Everything we ordered (two sushi rolls, steak, sukiyaki, poke don, tempura, miso, teriyaki chicken, sake) was amazing. We sat at one of the cool authentic booths there where you take off your shoes to sit. The waitress burned her hand on the sukiyaki as she was delivering it, and it spilled on one of our shoes. She was so apologetic and tried to clean it but it will need a more thorough washing. But we were more concerned about her hand because it was very, very hot. If you're going for the first time, the sukiyaki (we like the beef) is unreal. We also like the mai zuru and geisha rolls. Such a great meal and great experience for the price.
