    We love love love this perfect restaurant! The food quality is outstanding. Service is kind, attentive & highly professional. It’s clear everyone at the place is respected and skilled at their jobs. Authentic clean sushi & Japanese cooked dishes served up simply yet perfectly in a nice owner run establishment. We make a point of going every time we’re in the area.
