    Excellent meal and unusual sushi and other Japanese dishes. I am from Boston, and I know good sushi. This was exceptional and unusual.

    We had Sunday brunch, and everything was excellent. I never thought of Japanese food as comfort food, but that's exactly what it was. The bao buns and steamed mussels were perfection, as were the snapper soft tacos with roasted corn, edamame & crispy rice succotash.

    I had really high expectations for this place reading the amazing reviews online. The sushi was really nothing special, and honestly overpriced for what we got. It’s sad to say, but I could have got the same thing at a Kroger sushi stand....the service was good, but it was slow in some areas. Getting a glass of wine felt like it was a 30 minute wait. It’s just over priced for what you receive.

    The food was amazing. The service was great. The music in the restaurant was a little bit loud but not to bad. Will definitely be going back.
