They never miss… had a chance to try a couple of items I hadn’t tried before. The calamari salad was okay but I won’t repeat. The Northern lights roll was perfect. Whoever invented the Crospy Rice with Yellowtail tartare needs to get a patent for that. Perfection! Service was great as always. Quick and easy. See ya next time!
