It's been awhile since I had good sushi!
We ordered quiet a variety of meals and they were delicious! Everything served in a timely manner as well which is anyways nice.
Will be back for sure soon! -

I only dropped in briefly for a light weekend lunch here but was pleasantly surprised. The decor is slightly-dated-traditional-Japanese, a little dark but comfortable, decent ambiance, nothing to write home about. Service was reasonably attentive. I ordered the aburi tuna roll and was actually startled by how tasty and delicious and fresh it was. Not only that, but they offered a complimentary piece of sushi (some sort of chef special that I didn't catch the name of) that was also lovely.
They do seem to have quite a wide selection and lots of intriguing maki and special maki possibilities. The special maki do seem a bit pricy, as some people have said, but the quality of the one roll I had does encourage me to try them again next time I'm in the area. -

I've had a number meals in this restaurant, mostly around the lunch hour, and I've never been disappointed. The service has been friendly and pleasant. While I'm not a huge fan on the regular table seating, the enclosed booths are great for privacy.
The Sashimi Bento box is a terrific deal and loads of food to satisfy. All of the combo meals are also great bang for your buck plus they offer Aburi style Nigiri on this menu, which I don't often see elsewhere. I haven't eaten to many of their rolls, but they have a HUGE section of Specialty Maki style ones to offer.
The kitchen operates at a steady clip and I've never had to wait very long at a table before I can dig in. I'm not sure how much beer they stock but two times, my friends and I have drank them out of their large bottles of ever Japanese beer.
!Bonus! Often times you will be served free "Amuse-Bouche" style samples along with your order. It's extra cute. -

Met a couple of friends for dinner, street parking can be challenging however there is a underground parking nearby. Nice place, they have small separate "tatami" room where there is lots of privacy to have conversations. Menu is sufficient although I am not sure why kimchi is in a Japanese menu? I had the Katsu-don, it comes with miso soup which was quite salty, we ordered a chicken teriyaki combo that came with the salty miso soup, sunamono salad, teriyaki chicken with rice. If you want brown rice, it will be an extra $1. Portions are small. We ordered a tekka maki & a couple of tamago. They did give us each a house special maki, it was small but quite tasty
There are better Japanese restaurant.. this one is ok. Average in my opinion. -
