    The food was great. The sushi was excellent and the chicken teriyaki box was delicious. It had a variety of food. The service was really nice. It was a friendly and clean environment.

    Best sushi I've had in a long while. The lobster roll and chilean sea bass roll were exquisite! The supreme roll was delicious as well. Hamachi appetizer was impeccable. Missed my salmon skin hand roll and pork gyoza but with so many other wonderfully prepared sashimi and sushi items, I didn't care. Cannot wait to go back. Bring a cold bottle of Sauvignon Blanc - there is no alcohol served.
