    The sushi is decent. But I was there with my three young daughters and it took us 45 minutes for our food to come. This has happened before. They’re filling more carry out orders than they can handle and they give you half a maki roll as an apology like that’s going to make you not late for the daddy daughter dance. Plus, I expressly told the server that my youngest daughter’s order from the hot appetizer menu would be her entree. So they brought it out early anyway, and she ate and sat there for half hour while her older sisters and I waited and then finally ate. I’m only writing this review as it’s the third time this has happened in about as many years, so if you’re going on the weekend evening, beware.

    Great menu to choose from whether you like sushi or not cuz there's other items to choose from other than sushi. Although the service was a little bit on the slow side, the food was incredibly good!

    This place has gone down hill. The kitchen was very slow the night we went. It was obvious there were a lot of tables that had ordered their food and were waiting for quite some time. The service was lacking, a lot of very young waitresses that clearly had little to no experience waiting on tables. I remember the quality of the food being much better. We ordered a king crab roll, but rather than an actual piece of king crab wrapped in cucumber as described, it was freeze dried crab that tasted very fishy. It was terrible. Overall the experience was lacking. Not sure that we’ll be returning anytime soon.

    The food is amazing! So fresh that you don't even need soy sauce or wasabi. Just enjoy the fish. Our server was spot on, seeming to know exactly when and what we needed. I was with a friend and I love how they never rush you. We were able to enjoy and extended visit.
