    Second visit. Selected the Double Tuna and Kanpai Signature Maki. Good quality at a decent price for the Third Ward. Server was inexperienced but polite and prompt. Warm ambiance. If you're needing sushi in the area, this is the place.

    Great sushi place in third ward, love how they don’t smother the rolls in a bunch of sauce - I’m always suspicious of sushi places that lay the sauce on heavy. Don’t think about it, just go.

    So-so experience and not typical from our previous visits. Rolls were slathered in sauce v topped. Server forgot part of the appetizer order. We had to ring for service as server did not promptly follow up after entrees were delivered.
