    Our server Alexis was amazing and his recommendations were on point. We had the live uni and HANDS DOWN the best uni I’ve had. It was so clean tasting and sweet. I would recommend the exotic fish. All the fish was exceptional quality and fresh.

    Ordered the Waxing Gibbous and Hamachi Nigri. Both very good. We reserved a standard table but we ended up in a hi-top table with stools up against a mirrored wall. Awkward to stare at yourself while eating 😄 while your feet dangle. The sushi was worth the visit so we will probably dine there again.

    As always, this is the best sushi available anywhere. Their special rolls are delicious and unique. The Full Moon is my favorite. The Milky Way is also amazing. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to go back again.

    We absolutely LOVED our meal here. We sat at the bar and loved watching the sushi chefs create phenomenal meals. They were so friendly and it was easy to order from them or our waitress. I wish we could’ve eat the whole menu. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

    Excellent service from hostess to server. The quality was really good. But it was pricey for rolls. I definitely recommend a try!
