    Decent, mediocre sushi in the richmond that doesn't break your wallet. Don't expect anything fancy or extremely fresh, but its sufficient enough for days my fiance and I are craving sushi and don't feel like spending $100pp for a quick dinner.

    Food was very good and fresh. Service was timely and friendly but could have helped us out more since it was a group business lunch with options to share and space on the table. There weren't enough menus for everyone and no recommendations were made on sharing plates for the group. People who brought the food didn't know who ordered what. Ice tea was brought to the table in individual bottles which is "pizzaria-like" style. Rolls were very tasty and presented well. I would definitely come back again. The lava roll was excellent.
