👍👍 I'm so excited to write this review, I stopped at the UPS store and noticed a small place, and it said sushi. OK just going to get some sushi for lunch. Well, I wasn't expecting the best sushi I have ever had. If you love sushi, you know it's about the RICE , no fancy sauce or ingredients will matte...

Hibachi chain serving Japanese dishes grilled tableside by theatrical chefs.

Traditional Japanese fare & extensive sushi menu with a wrap-around sushi bar & table seating.

🫤 Kind of astounded this place was rated so highly. The space was LoUd, and the waiters (while nice) forgot items and utensils. The sushi was overpriced for the quality.

Clever sushi rolls, Japanese kitchen entrees & bento served in a snug, relaxed space lined with art.

👍👍 Great mom and pop sushi spot. A hard working couple that produce great food, in a quaint environment. Edit: Already 5 stars, but wanted to add that I left a sentimental item there and realized it after leaving town. Gave them a ring and they had held onto it for me. They ended up shipping it out to...

Sushi & other Japanese cuisine in a low-lit, Asian-inspired space featuring a full bar with sake.

👍👍 Don’t sleep on this place. It’s extremely fresh and high quality. You know it’s good when they don’t have anything loaded with mayo and filler. It’s the closest to the sushi I had while in Japan. We went twice while on a 3 day trip. We hope to be back soon.
