What our guests are saying

This was my second visit here all the way from Florida! The food is fantastically authentic. The presentation is phenomenal. The theming transports me right into a serene and bustling Japanese community space. I can tell how well the employees are taken care of well by how they interact with guests and each other. Especially Madison ;) she took great care of us! I can’t wait to come again!

Spectacular experience! Best sushi I’ve ever had bar none. Varied menu (cheese corn and creamy udon were both new for us), perfectly presented and prepared. Sydney was an exceptional host: drinks always filled, always checking in, and great service!!!

Lindsey was an awesome server and she made me feel very welcomed here. I would go as far as to say she’s the best server i’ve ever had. She was kind, quick with our food, and made sure everything was okay. There couldn’t be a better server.
