    Ambiance is really nice. Simple wood furniture with nice lighting. We sat at the sushi counter and had an amazing time. We ordered a spicy tuna roll, two king salmon nigiri, a salmon hand roll, a yellowtail roll, and edamame. Cocktails are amazing. We ordered the red dragon and a birds of paradise. The birds of paradise was AMAZING. Our server was great as well. Overall a really nice experience.
