Great little sushi spot with both street and off street parking. Staff were very friendly and responsive. Both of our sushi orders were delicious and well prepared. Maybe not as artistic as some other spots we have been to but still nice none the less. Both of our orders came with a complimentary miso soup. Highly recommend checking out if you are local to the area!

My bf and I have been here numerous times. I Love this place because they offer cooked sushi, large portions, and the food is delicious! The service is always great, friendly, we never have to wait a long time. Parking available across the street.

I always pass by this sushi place on the bus and finally got to check it out. Hubby, baby, and I stopped by on a Saturday for lunch at around 1:30. It was pretty packed at that time, but there were still some tables left. The dining room is pretty spacious and they were able to accommodate our stroller. To start, they bring you some miso soup, which was very comforting on a cold day. They also gave us our own little pot of green tea, which was cute. We ordered a bunch of things to share, and they asked if it was okay if they just brought everything out on a sushi boat, which was fine by us. We had the Sashimi Regular (30 pieces of salmon, tuna, white tuna, and yellowtail), Fire Roll (spicy yellowtail, jalapeno, avocado, cucumber roll with spicy caviar, and extra spicy sauce on top), Salmon Combo (4 pcs of salmon sushi and Alaska roll), and a white tuna roll. The Sashimi Regular was totally worth it. 30 pieces of fish for 45, and it comes with a bowl of rice. It tasted fresh. I enjoyed the Fire Roll too but I hate special rolls smothered in sauces, so I asked for the sauce on the side, and this was the move. That way I could dip as much/as little as I wanted. The sauce was pretty good. It wasn't just spicy mayo but I think it also had sweet chili sauce and jalapenos it, so it had more of a kick. The regular rolls were also good - it was a good fish to rice ratio. I wish I tried this place sooner, but I'm glad I finally did. Will definitely be ordering some takeout here sometime in the near future. Tip - there is a big parking lot across the street - you won't miss it.

Love the food, service and atmosphere. Everything is excellent. Must try the spicy sea weed salad. Best spicy mayo Sushi rolls were a bit heavy on rice, but still really good

By far my favorite sushi place. Since moving out of the area, I will still drive the 30 minutes to dine here every so often. I always get the sushi but have had the beef kimbop a few times which was very good. The fish is always fresh and the rice to filling ratio is perfect. I started coming here when they were just a small hole in the wall and they offer the same great quality of food and service since they moved to the bigger location a few years ago if not better because they're able to accommodate a lot more people now. They are also great for take out and have good lunch specials.

THE best sushi in terms of quantity, quality and price. For the longest time I have avoided this place because one of my friend who would consider anything rolled up in rice, "sushi" and he loves this place. I finally gave up and decided to come here with him and now i am here at least 2 or 3 times a month and it would be more if it was closer to me. The amount of fresh fish in each roll is enormous and the price is just amazing. By no mean this is consider the most authentic sushi I have ever had, but this is the perfect balance of quality, quantity and price. We usually get the love platter, the best value, any 5 rolls for 80. If you are hungry and craving for sushi, this place will not disappoint. The staff is super friendly. The only thing is the parking is a little tough but they do offer valet.
