    It was really good! Fresh and yummy! We even had the duck, sea bass, pork belly skewer, fish collar, and tempura corn besides our sushi! So yum! The chicken skin wasn’t as good-it just tasted oily. But everything else was sooo yum!

    Sashimi not fresh and tiny piece. Not worth for the price. Waitresses are friendly.

    Second time here and it was just as good as the first. It's about an hour drive here from where I live, but it's well worth the trip. I made sure to make a reservation this time as it does get busy. Service is always fast and friendly. The food is excellent! I literally just want to order everything on the menu. Can't wait to come back!

    We keep coming back as we love this place. It is a casual place with good food, cozy and good service. Our favorites are the steamed egg dish and the pork belly skewers.

    The food is always good. A friend who has had ramen in Japan really likes theirs. I like their Unagi Donburi.

    Forgot it was a birthday celebration. A little to consistently noisy had to wait for a water refill for over 5 minutes

    This is a real find. I like the variety of dishes here. The food is very good and so is the service. We come often and are not disappointed. Love that you can get a bowl of ramen or skewers or sushi or appetizers. Their steamed egg dish is a must try and the best.
