What our guests are saying
Personally, I really enjoyed my visit. I mainly ordered miso soup, takoyaki, and a black widow roll, however, all of the food that I had and saw was delicious and had a great presentation. I was impressed. Their menu is a bit on the pricy side, but still satisfying. The workers here were very polite and got stuff out almost immediately despite balancing multiple tables and a few large parties at the same time. The interior was also quite pretty. My only criticism is that while the majority of their menu is very well-rounded and varied, I do wish they had a bit more variety in the sushi rolls that they offered. Otherwise, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a good sushi place in the area.

Wow. Driving through town did not expect to find one of the coolest sushi places I’ve been to in US. Great menu, food was good, would come back again if I wasn’t just passing through!

This place is amazing, and hands down best Japanese food in the Greater Lafayette area and possibly Indianapolis metro. They actually have real sushi and not deep fried things smothered in sauce. Food was prepared with a lot of care and portions were fantastic. The prices were actually really good compared to similar (but not as tasty or have as nice ambiance) Japanese restaurants in the area. Highly recommended.
