Service was spectacular! Also the seasonal menu is so well executed. The food comes out exactly as described in the menu and tastes great. I really have no complaints other than, if you’re trying to catch up with friends it’s a tad bit noisy for table conversation.

I was pleasantly surprised by this sushi place. I had no expectations and I loved the hamachi jalapeño bites, the genmaicha tea, my friend had the mount something roll and it was good!! We liked everything- we also had a miso soup and the pork gyozas

Salad was not worth the money . The ahi salad had changed, used to be awesome salad . Banbu sushi was excellent but very pricey ! Haven’t been there for years . Way over priced . Plus I didn’t get my points of 750. I called and they said they just use open table for reservations , don’t give points . It said on site it would give 750. Very disappointed. I would have never have made a reservation if that was the case . We will never go again . Way overpriced now.
