Nice quaint restaurant in an older section of town. Seems like a local favorite as it was quite busy on a weekday. There were actually 3 parties celebrating birthdays when we dined. We had the Chirashi Sushi bowl and the Salmon Special which were both delicious. Service was good even through the busyness.
