    Excellent food and service! Never disappoints. The atmosphere is modern, just a bit too dark so it’s hard to read the menus and see the food. Otherwise we love everything about this place. Best sushi and maki in town.

    I’ve come here for my Christmas Eve Eve celebration for the last 4 years. This is the first time I had a different server and the first time there were only a handful of people. One thing I noticed was 2 servers helping everyone which is great for the team work, but confusing when you are waiting for service. Our server finally came after she greeted and got water for the table that was seated 5 minutes after us and she was distracted while doing so as we saw her stop at other tables and do a few other things before actually getting the water for our table. We were unable to order the Christmas drinks but she was not sure what ingredient they didn’t have to make it. We settled on a Christmas drink and then moved on to our usual drink choice. Food always awesome, service was just ok, but we will always come back!!!
