    The most delicious sushi I've ever had. My 12 year old son and I got to have Chef Nakano serve us the omakase nigiri set at the counter, and it was a night that neither of us will forget. He was so friendly, the sushi was out of this world, and we had a memorable father/son outing we'll remember for a long time.

    As always this is our favorite sushi restaurant in WA (and beyond). We love everything about this spot. The quality and variety of the sushi is tops. The sushi chefs are friendly and make beautifully plated sushi and other plates. The service is excellent. Thanks again.

    Best sushi in Edmonds. Food here is always delicious and fresh. Service is wonderful and you always get friendly and efficient customer service. Our go to when we can is omakase and the best experience is at the sushi counter when you can have Chef Nakano to hand pick his favorites for you.
