Not a large restaurant and reservations are necessary but very worth it as they made it a special evening. All dishes were super flavorful like the gazpacho, the mushroom salad, and different rolls. The karrage was prepared perfectly imo. We will be returning.

Good music, great service, and absolutely amazing sushi. We were looking for a quick and easy sushi dinner and got exactly that. They are efficient and we loved watching the sushi chef craft the sushi platters like magic in front of our eyes. 1010! We finished our two sushi plates in less than 10 minutes.
