If I had a million dollars I would blow it all on sushi, and a good chunk of that change here! - I went to a sushi restaurant and am coming away raving about a spring roll. the beef spring rolls were filled with the juiciest, warmest, most flavorful meat in a thin layer of crisp - the drink menu was a bit overwhelming and the drink categories did not seem to have any theme, but my gin cocktails as fruity and delicious! i love a light citrus drink with rice meals to kinda counteract the denser flavors - the wasabi soy edamame was delicious. coated in wasabi specks to provide the key aspect of spice to interact with the salt - the menu was expensive with pages of booze and sashimi, but the handroll options were limited. we tried to rainbow roll, the zeppelin roll, the spicy tuna roll, and the crunchy spicy scallop roll. - the spicy tuna was a simple testimony to the quality of the fish. the rainbow roll was a more enhanced version with thick melting cuts of fish on the top. this was quality fish. - the crunchy spicy scallop was the perfect combination of textures. the scallops legit melted on my tongue while the tempura flakes added a crunch. the rice on each roll was perfectly cooked and not too heavy to pull away from the more mild understated crab or yellowtail flavors. - the Zeppelin roll was amazing. get it. DO IT. maybe it’s the eel sauce and spicy mayo but I just loved every second of this spicy, sweet, jalapeño flavor - we got a complimentary chocolate mousse that was quite rich and decorated with gold flakes. I was very pleased with this! our waitress was attentive and we were seated on the outdoor patio with tons of nice clean patio tables. The inside is pretty small but the place was packed. lots of waitstaff, not too personal or chatty, but a well run spot!

Love this place!! Sushi is always delicious, sometimes it takes a little bit to come out on a busy night but it’s worth the wait. Drinks are really good and the patio has a great vibe!
