Fun idea. Kind of limited menu and small space, but we got in fine with reservation. Service could have been more attentive. Took a long time for drinks to arrive. These are "hand rolls" but not the ice cream-cone shaped you might expect. That said, the fish was fresh and they had some creative rolls.
