Food lacked salt. Tables were too small, hard to fit the XL plates in which they serve food. It is a BYOB place. We got our own beer and they give us mini glasses for it. Don't recommend it. Waste of money

The service was quick and top notch. Food was great - recommend sushi and panang curry. Noise level was too high couldn’t hear our waitress to order. Turn down music simple fix.

Really great sushi for really great price! The service is phenomenal. The sushi is pretty inexpensive but the quality is still amazing. All the rolls we’ve tried have been delicious. We also love the crab rangoons, the robata, the Thai iced tea and the mochi ice cream! We’ve moved but always try to come back here because we love it so much!

Everything on the menu sounded so good! It was hard to make a decision! The Maki here is so tasty, and the food is beautifully presented and well-portioned. Ann was my server, and she was kind and attentive. The atmosphere is very quaint, as well, and very nice to stop into for a quick bite. Plus, it doesn't break the bank, which is never something to complain about. Thanks for the delicious lunch!

The atmosphere is cute however don’t make the same mistake as us and over order. No where on the menu does it state that their rolls are 10 pieces. They are so huge that you can’t even fit one piece in your mouth…. It would have been nice if the waitress gave us a heads up as well. Huge bill and a ton of food waste.

I try not to go to the same place over and over, but this place keep me coming back! When dining in, you can have a great BYOB experience. The takeout sushi pizza box is so fun for get togethers with friends
