    Highly recommend this restaurant during non-busy times (not weekend nights). Service is spotty, sometimes really good, other times unpredictable. Food is good but sometimes very larger menus also mean one dish is excellent, another common.

    The food was very fresh, well prepared and very presentable. The service was excellent with very frequent visits from waitstaff. The indoors was a bit noisy as it was full. Overall, a great place to have Japanese food, especially sushi! Highly recommended.

    I ordered Hokki but there’s no uni as specifically included in the menu. The server didn’t even bother to offer an explanation, not until I asked her why, that the chef replaced uni with ikura. What a terrible experience to say the least!
