Maddeningly slow sushi bar. The food was great, but we were more than ready to leave by the time we actually received it. Requested drink refills never arrived. It was a holiday, but the restaurant did not seem exceptionally busy.

We liked this low key restaurant a lot. The sushi was fresh and the rice was cooked properly. Lots of interesting choices. It not one of these open spaced places where the sound echos everywhere. I wish Japanese restaurants were a little more creative with there beer selections.

Little surprised at how empty the restaurant was on a weekend evening. Nice menu. Server was very attentive. Appetizers (dumplings and calamari) were both good. Sushi was good. Kids loved their noodle dishes. Will be back

I’ve eaten here several times and the food is good. It’s just not great. I did very much enjoy the miso soup. I’d give it 4 stars. Edamame was okay. The roll I had was good. See the pattern? The wines on their list did not rate very high in Vivino. 3.1-3.6. I generally try to get a wine closer to 4.

After discovering they weren't kid-welcoming a few years ago (no crayons permitted to dirty their tables - despite our table being covered in about a dozen gouges that looked like cigarette burns), now that our kids are a little older we decided to give them another try. Food was pretty good (chicken overdone, and yellowtail maki was ground up not a whole piece). We'd consider giving it another try - though might give better instruction to the chef.
