The sashimi here is the best I’ve ever had, and the rolls are perfectly sized. I love the pottery they use for their plates and bowls. It’s just a little classier than most sushi restaurants and I’m here for it.

Amazing service and sushi was deliciously fresh and had a great selection of seasonal fish! Paid the $8 extra for premium sushi for our live sushi combo and it was so worth it. Kid friendly - even gave my two kids little kids place settings. Oysters, gyoza, sushi and udon (my kids loved it!)
