Hand Roll & Highball Cocktail Happy Hour
Multiple dates available
Sun - Sat - 17:00 - 21:45
Introducing our Hand Roll @ High-Ball Cocktail Happy Hour every day 5-6:30pm centered around open-style sushi hand rolls (think sushi tacos) that are two bites of locally sourced and creative genius delivered to your table within seconds of being rolled up. All of our hand rolls are $8 and we feature daily specials of what just landed in our local waters that our fishmonger sources seasonally. We also feature a Wagyu bao bun sourced from our friends at New England Wagyu farms. And what is happy hour without a great deal on drinks? Our bar team has created a fun selection of High-Ball cocktails focused on using high quality spirits topped with Badger Beverages, a local craft soda purveyor. All of our High-Ball cocktails are priced at $10

A very thoughtful restaurant the waitress was super friendly. She asked if we need some rice before starting ordering(we brought our three-year old girl) because they understand kids can’t handle being hungry! The seafood was very fresh and delicious. Highly recommended especially bring your kids!

Fresh and flavored sushi. Nice ambience and all items are not too seasoned and too covered with sauce.

The food was only ok. I ordered a few things that I’m told were best sellers, the crispy rice salmon app and the taro roll, both were really lacking. The crispy rice seemed to have been cooked previously and left to get hard and cold before serving. The taro roll was pretty sad and had an overwhelming flavor of the peppers. I think you could find much better sushi for a better price in the city.
