    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.
