Yelp.com Review - by Melissa S.

2.0 of 5 stars. This place got some great reviews so we figured we'd try it as there was only one other couple waiting ahead of us. We were told the wait would be just a few minutes while they "set up the back room".…

Good sushi at the cost of POOR SERVICE

This restaurant does have good sushi, but it definitely comes at a cost - poor service. Each time I have been there it has taken a really long time. They always seem to give the excuse that they are under...

5.0 of 5 stars. My absolute favorite sushi restaurant! It's a bit pricey, but worth it for the great sushi/nigiri. The Smoked Sake is to die for. It is a bit cramped inside, so go early before the dinner rush hits.
