    Wonderful spot for small or large groups. Loved their table-wear pottery, the menu is just perfect with the right balance of cool and inventive rolls, high quality sashimi, delicious appetizers. Great atmosphere and friendly service from the female host/waitress. Thanks for a great evening! Definitely will be back

    We live nearby have dined at Live Sushi on an off since its opening years ago. The quality of the seafood is consistently good and the service consistently attentive and friendly. Last night we were disappointed when most of the rolls that we ordered fell apart too easily. They had not even been dipped in wasabi-laced soy sauce yet! Perhaps a little more attention to assembly is merited for next time.
