    What an inventive way to serve sushi rolls. Tasty with varieties to please any palate. Much more expensive than most sushi places, but good for a special occasion.

    The dining experience felt rushed and impersonal. The staff seemed eager to move us along, barely giving us time to review the menu before asking for our order. While the food was decent, the hurried pace left us feeling more like a task to be completed than guests to be served.

    We had a wonderful experience at this sushi restaurant. The food was fresh and flavorful, but what stood out was how thoughtful and accommodating the staff were. I made the reservation for 2 with a baby, and they are willing to set us up for a table instead of the counter. On the day of, I needed an extra seat for MIL; the team went out of their way to rearrange things and make space for us without hassle. They were friendly, patient, and genuinely welcoming — which made a huge difference for us as new parents. It's rare to find a restaurant that combines great food with such warm, flexible service. Highly recommend, especially for families!
