    The food and service was VERY GOOD. Excellent, high quality sushi. Interior is a little dated, but still nice. Our server (so sorry I didn’t catch his name) was absolutely 10 out of 10.

    Nice meal on NYE. We had an 8:15 reservation but didn’t realize it closed at 9:00. Felt a bit rushed. Food was good. Nice to go for good food but not such for a night out.
