    Service was very nice but the food wasn’t the best. Sushi were soaked in sauce. The yellowtail appetizer was good and the sake selection good. Just not worth the $200 meal price tag for the food.

    Get the butter fish! It’s amazing. We split two small plates (butter nut fish and lobster ravioli), a spider roll and a piece of their coffee pie. Delicious!

    A must visit every year when we are on the island. If you love expertly prepared sushi, sashimi, and rolls maybe only one other place that compares on the island and that’s way down south. Plus love the dynamite shrimp and the panko crusted ahi rolls.
