    We only had the sushi this time but it was fantastic. SO fresh and creative - one of the rolls had kiwi on top; sounds weird but it was a perfect compliment to the spicy salmon. Sushi rolls seem to be higher priced than most places, but the rolls are actually larger. And, they're easier to share because of the size. Sat out on the sidewalk tables- great for "people-watching". Service is always attentive.

    Everything was truly outstanding, but the dining experience in the romantic courtyard was significantly marred by excessive volume by guitar player. Couldn’t really carry on conversation. Excellent guitarist, but we didn’t come here primarily to listen to him.

    Love the rolls there; they have some with different ingredients like pineapple, etc. The salad was very fresh and wonderful. This was our second visit (we brought friends this time) and we will be back again I'm sure.

    We tried a bunch of maki rolls and the tuna crispy rice… all were fantastic, especially the specialty ones like the salmon with mango. The only thing we didn’t like was the cheeseburger bao buns (which I don’t know why we ordered anyway 😜). Service was very good too. We will go back.
