Good sushi at this price point. The new expanded menu is interesting. I came in to try the new and delicious Salmon Maze. The beef negimaki is always special. The wait staff was polite and friendly. I’ll be back for lunch.

Delicious as always! Good quality sushi at a reasonable price point, with tons of other interesting menu options. Cool ambiance/décor, friendly and helpful service (they even let me charge my phone). Took a few minutes to be seated, but we were late so not their fault.

It was restaurant week and they had an opening at the time we wanted. What a great find! The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. The Zushi was so good and the Ramen with pork broth was excellent. Our dessert, vanilla ice cream tempura, was a great ending. I highly recommend this place.

This is our go to sushi place. The owner (or manager?) was very accommodating on a bitter cold night and moved us away from the door at the front of the restaurant to the back. Service is pretty good. I love spicy tuna but the spice they use is a little too spicy. I still get it, but I make sure to plenty of water.

This was very disappointing night. The door was open to the patio and it was 58 degrees we had to eat dinner with our coats on. The service was the worst....15 minutes to get the drink after it was ordered. Food was good but there is a lot more that goes into a good dining experience that just food. Go somewhere else.
