    We were there on a quiet Sunday evening and had excellent sushi. The appetizers and rolls were perfect, fresh with good flavor. The menu is extensive and offers a lot of options. Our waiter was personable, maybe a little personally TMI, but he checked on us frequently and was very helpful. There was a group in the adjacent room doing karaoke and they were NOT good singers. Fortunately that didn't last long. The restaurant is in an old bank building and the decor was a little drab, not as upscale as the pictures on the website would indicate. Would definitely recommend to sushi lovers.

    Food was excellent . Sushi was fresh . We enjoyed every course of the restaurant week menu. Our waiter was excellent even though service was quite slow due to the kitchen & sushi bar with only 1 chef working . Will come back for sure for the food.

    The food was great with pleasing presentation. Decent and friendly service. Fast meal prep. Please clean your menus before handing them out. Nasty splatters and greasy spots make for an un-appetizing start. Wish a sushi restaurant around here would get real with their Wasabi instead of the green paste everyone serves.

    We were there for an early dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. Food was good, but the prices have gone up since we were last there. Presentation lacked something to be desired, though. Service was attentive and jovial.
