Came here on a Saturday evening at 7:30 and there was plenty of parking available. The restaurant is rather quaint so it's personable but great atmosphere for dates, family occasion, or even business.
Server was attentive and food came out relatively fast.
We ordered crispy rice for the appetizer and it was absolutely delicious except for the fact that the rice was a bit thick so it was harder to eat. Maybe if it was on the flatter side, it would have been more enjoyable.
We got soft shell roll and also a variety of nigiri. The fish for the nigiri was fresh and the rice to fish ratio wasn't bad. The roll was alright. Nothing to rave about.
Overall experience here was pleasant and I would come back again if I'm in the area.

Everything was very good except the portion size of the fish slices for the sushi and sashimi is way too thin/small. Quality is there but the serving size is way too small

Great elevated sushi and small dishes, not a typical neighborhood sushi joint but very much a locals spot. Try their specials. Awesome tempura.

Quite satisfied, good quality and good price. A bit loud that day and waiters could be a tad bit better trained. The golden eye snapper was definitely the low point but everything else was solid. Had the octopus plater, tuna 3 way (really good), yellow tail belly, white trevally, king roll ii and iii (ii was aight, iii is a must), oysters, and eel hand roll.

This place was amazing, I almost didn't want to leave a review so nobody would know about it but this place deserves all the customers and recognition it can get! We went on a Friday night and were seated immediately. The servers were attentive and checked on us constantly. Good sake, good sushi, and good atmosphere all around. This is definitely a place we'll come back to over and over again. A great experience overall!
