    All the ingredients are very fresh here. You won't find a ton of obscure fish here. The reason I give it only four stars on food is that we found that many of the rolls and starters all started to taste the same. They all use roughly the same ingredients and even though the sauce may be different, it's not enough to differentiate. I wish they went a little stronger on some of the flavors.
