Our server made the night! She was very sweet & personable. The food was delicious! I truly recommend the Salmon Truffle hand role along with the Salmon Truffle Sashimi style! Perfection! Melts in your mouth like pure butter! We'll definitely be back very soon!

We were underwhelmed by the menu options, the service, and the originality of the food. The service was mediocre, and the space wasn't even filled on a Saturday night. My husband's cooked food came out cold and had to be microwaved. My veggie roll was boring and expensive. The place has a lot of potential and a fun atmosphere but it doesn't live up to it.

Very nice evening. We were on the patio, so unfortunately the lounge music next door was competing with the music our restaurant was playing. They should just share a station to keep it more enjoyable. I didn't know which song to listen to! The Ramen was so good!

The food is great, however the past 2 times I have been there the service sucked. The first time the hostess forgot about us altogether and sat others ahead of us, but then our server made up for it. This time the hostess was awesome, on time and accommodated our outside reservation but then we sat there for 33 minutes without anyone even approaching us for water. A random waiter took us and did his best to accommodate us even though we weren't in his section...kudos to Jacob. However he could only do so much. We talked to a manager and instead of comping us part of our meal, he sent us a desert we did not want. Makes me sad since the food is great, but we're 0 for 2 so far.

Service was horrible and the food was nothing special. The food was equivalent to any local sushi spot. The service was the worst! We were never checked in and our table never got cleared off. Wouldn’t go back.

Date afternoon with my wife. Outdoor seating is great for people watching and looking at the ocean. The rainbow role and tempura veggies were awesome, the oysters not so much. Good food and great service.
