I come here pretty often because it's close to work and home. It's a small little spot but the food is really good. I always get the shrimp tempura roll and it is always delicious. The staff and service is great.

Wife and I stopped in here for an early dinner. Nice quaint spot. Inside has table tops for 10. Bar seats 5, patio seats 4. Service was exceptional! Fast, friendly and efficient. Place is nice and clean. They get straight to the point with daily specials posted, an extensive curated menu and a good selection of beer, wine, soju and sake. We had the chef's omakase special (2), the black dragon roll and the Alaskan roll. The Alaskan roll is my new favorite! Wow!

Decided to have a late lunch/early dinner and wanted to try a new sushi place than our norm. I perused Yelp and saw this place had some really good reviews. It is a cute place though a bit small. It also has a small little patio but I think only 2 or 3 tables. I could see this place getting packed when busy. The greeter/server was very sweet and attentive. We were the only people there since it was around 3:45. We sat at the sushi bar which is always our favorite spot. We ordered garlic edamame, two of the omakase samplers, 2 rolls (black dragon roll -minus spicy mayo sauce and Alaskan roll) and an order of uni. The omakase sampler had 10 pieces of fish. The fish was fresh and very tasty. The rolls were flavorful and the Alaskan roll with the crispy salmon skin was our favorite. The textures were on point. The fresh fish of the day menu was not huge but again, what we got on the omakase sampler was fresh and good. The only slightly negative is I wish it had a larger selection of fish. We usually have salmon roe for dessert but they didn't have any so we ordered the uni. The uni was savory and yummy! We will certainly return!

Had lunch here today and wow the fish is so fresh here! I got salmon belly, scallop and halibut nigiri and they were all 10/10 fresh. The rice is absolutely perfection here. I also got a salmon roll with a side of ponzu and it was just so simple and perfect. I'll definately be back!

We ordered the ikageso karage, mix nigiri,red velvet roll, citrus hamachi, kinmedai Kama. Everything was served at the correct temperature, soft and fresh. Was sad that my red velvet roll didn't come with ginger and wasabi. It was extremely hot and stuff in the restaurant glad it didn't affect the food quality.

I came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. There was no wait. We sat outside. The staff members were very friendly and checked on us as needed. We had two sakes, which were great. We also ordered the Protein Roll & the Avatar Roller. The Avatar Roll was my favorite. I do wish they had more light and refreshing rolls on the menu though. Overall, it was a great dinner and nice evening out.

Great service and food! Kind of a small, Itty bitty joint do expect this place to get packed and roughly 20mins wait on a Friday evening. We got sat next to the door which sucked as their ceiling fans were spinning and cold AF outside, but the friendly and decently attentive servers and good food made up for it. We got miso soup, oysters, their nigiri, a special baked roll and omakase order. Their CA board and presentations were good, oysters came out quick, and didn't break your pockets. Would mos def come back again!

I wanted to try a new sushi place while I was in town and saw the great reviews for this place! Dining area is VERY tiny! 5 seats at the bar and maybe about 7 tables total between inside and outside seating. Staff is attentive and quick. I initially wanted to octopus karaage but they didn't have that and were doing ikageso karaage instead. I love squid too so I wasn't disappointed. It was really good and I wish this was a regular on the menu! Very crispy and a good portion. I tried two different types of sushi - caterpillar and spider rolls. Both were good...wish there was more unagi in the caterpillar roll - had to kind of search for it. They do have happy hour specials including $1 off draft beers and apps. Kinda wish there was a special on sushi rolls also. They have a tiny lot that they share with a couple other businesses. I was not lucky enough to get one of these spots so ended up parking on the street. I did come on a Friday night so that definitely contributed to the difficulty.

Finally had a chance to check out this sushi spot! It's been on my list for some time now . My friend and I shared the Omakase special (4 pc sashimi, 6 pc nigiri) , Philly roll & 2 pc uni nigiri. Everything was delicious!! Fish was fresh. My favorite is the uni!! Pretty small restaurant with a few tables indoor and outdoor. Great customer service!

Highly above average spot. The restaurant is tiny, maybe 4-6 tables? But the quality is up there and the prices, honestly, are modest - not too expensive at all. All of our items were just above very good quality. We are huge nigiri folks but went half nigiri half roll. Our salmon and ahi nigiri were excellent - 8/10. Roll, I'm not a huge roll fan, but this one was ok, 5/10. Service was excellent. The server was so friendly, not polite and uptight. A really great spot. Recommend coming right when they open. After sitting there for 15 mintues the restuarant was full on a weekday.
