My Aunt and Uncle have been coming here for like 20 years. We usually end up here for a dinner visit with them when we are in town. This last visit in particular might have been the best sushi Ive ever had in my life! From the freshest fish to unique and interesting flavor combos. It rocked my damn socks off!!!

Went here for my birthday dinner on a Friday night with 7 guests. They had no problem getting us set up without a reservation. They can deep fry any sushi roll. How cool is that. The place was packed, the food was amazing, the service was prompt, and the staff was very friendly.

Updated review as of 3425 customer service was great but today the food lacked overall. I also think its very misleading that the teriyaki dinner photo in the menu has a bunch of broccoli in the bowl yet when I got my tofu teriyaki ...

We pretty much refuse to go anywhere else. If family visits from out of town we go here always. My favorite is the tempura any kind but also love their teriyaki chicken. My husband loves the Carlitos way roll. Highly recommended!

If you find yourself passing by, stop in and get lunch. The service is fantastic. The atmosphere is comfortable. One of the few that has been around for a long time. It was great to get back here and enjoy lunch.
