    The service was very nice but with the food there wasn’t any flavor at all unfortunately. Maybe it’ll be better next time.

    We were there on a quiet Sunday evening and had excellent sushi. The appetizers and rolls were perfect, fresh with good flavor. The menu is extensive and offers a lot of options. Our waiter was personable, maybe a little personally TMI, but he checked on us frequently and was very helpful. There was a group in the adjacent room doing karaoke and they were NOT good singers. Fortunately that didn't last long. The restaurant is in an old bank building and the decor was a little drab, not as upscale as the pictures on the website would indicate. Would definitely recommend to sushi lovers.

    Food was excellent . Sushi was fresh . We enjoyed every course of the restaurant week menu. Our waiter was excellent even though service was quite slow due to the kitchen & sushi bar with only 1 chef working . Will come back for sure for the food.
