What an incredible experience my husband, and I had at this restaurant. The atmosphere is very pleasant, incredible service, but the best thing without a doubt is the food with its spectacular flavors. Everything was very delicious, the drinks, the starters and the main.

Sushi San was awesome from beginning to end! The whole staff was great. We celebrated our son's 16th birthday there. He picked it after doing some research, 'cause he'd heard it was always good. We had a blast and will totally go back.
