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

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!

I've been to a lot of sushi places, both authentic, non-authentic and fusion and there are plenty of good places, but, I have to say, this place is also added up there. This place is really authentic and is a place you can easily miss since it's near the street. The place probably doesn't hold over 20 people and is quaint, with a bathroom that's on the side of the building, but none of that takes away from the quality of the food, the service, cleanliness and overall Japanese hospitality that this place holds.
Everything that we tried here was simply exquisite and great tasting, that there isn't anything you can say that's not good or terrible. We did really loved the crunchy salmon handroll to the point that we ordered maybe five or so of them, they were that good. We also got most sashimi items as well and, like I said, we were not disappointed. If you have some money to spend on sushi, spend it here.
