This place is actually really good — the fish is super fresh and the prices are very reasonable. You can’t get this level of quality for the same price anywhere else. The atmosphere is nice, there’s a wide variety of drinks, and the service is really friendly. Definitely worth 5 stars!

First time visiting this restaurant. The food is so fresh and yummy. The restaurant is so clean and I couldn’t point out anything wrong. The waitor kept serving us tea and help us clean the table for we spilled the sauce. It was a wonderful experience dining there.

Comfort sushi spot The sushi is amazing, super fresh and they’ve got plenty of options to choose from. Personally love the salmon combo. The place is nice and comfortable, great to take your friends with you. The takeout quality of the food is just as good as the dine-in. My only complaint would be that the staff can be somewhat rude if you don’t tip well.

Amazing experience with my family at this lovely mom-and-pop sushi joint. The food was exquisite, the service was excellent and we were accommodated so well by the two lovely elderly people working there, who I’m assuming are the owners. It was an overall 10/10 experience, please go and support this fantastic small business!!

Amazing, fresh, yummy sushi for a great price! Miso soup was flavorful, we also had the Dynamite, Volcano, and Superbe rolls, all were wonderful. Very filling for two of us as well, excellent and fast service.
