Have visited a few times now and thumbs up across the board. Quality sushi and not outrageous prices. Non sushi eater can eat a lot of alternatives, steak tatami was delicious. Salmon skin hand roll was properly made, crispy. KariKari roll is killer. Lady of the house is happy to help and make sure you are having all that you want.
