Happy Hour and reduced price sushi! Ordering was a little confusing. Order first at the counter and then find your table. Nice outdoor patio. Worth checking out for their Happy Hour specials.

I am truly disgusted by the service I received at this restaurant tonight. We spent from 7pm-8:30pm at this restaurant and left with absolutely nothing. We were waiting about 35 minutes before our waiter came by the table to take our order, so I had to get up and go find someone to take our order. We got our order placed and we’re never checked on again until the time we left. We had to watch tables that showed up an hour later than us get their drinks, appetizers, and rolls before we even were looked at. We walked out and will never be returning. A very sad experience despite the busy night ,customers deserve more.

A small but nice Japanese restaurant! The staff are very friendly and nice! The environment is good!! They have happy hours sushi specials (4pm - 8pm), bento box and ramen! We ordered teriyaki chicken bento box ($12.50), spicy miso ramen ($13.50), Philadelphia roll ($6) and customized salmon sashimi ($16.00). All of them are yummy!!!
