Great service, nice atmosphere, great food! Stopped by for an early lunch on a Saturday. They have an extensive menu so I feel that there's definitely something for everyone here. I was impressed by the quality of the fish that they served. I ordered a Chirashi bowl which came with a side of miso soup. I was surprised by the variety of fish that was provided. The sashimi all tasted fresh and had good textures. My friend ordered a roll and two orders of Nigiri and she also enjoyed her lunch. I've tried to come here a few times before, mostly for dinner, and it's been packed so I chose to go somewhere else. I think I understand the hype -- I will definitely be returning to have more sushi or to try the other offerings they have from their extensive menu.
Was recommended by a friend to get Japanese food here and was not disappointed. Ramen portion is generous, Goosebump maki was a miss for me but that's my palate speaking, if I wanted to nitpick the rice could be a little better. All that said I'll come back again
The food was delicious. The sushi rolls were big and the portion sizes were good. There was 3 of us and we couldn't finish 2 rolls and 2 bowls of Ramen! It was great.
