    Decent appetizer sampler if you like fried goodies. The triple sea roll is good, as are the piña roll and Atlantic roll. If you saved room for dessert, get the chocolate truffles.

    Great restaurant if you love fish! Try the ice cream - delicious. Best server is Matt, ask for him!

    Tempura Roll is yummy!!! Half price on Thursdays. Hearty Crunchy and warm. Great Roll for beginner sushi eaters. Melts in your mouth 👍

    Salmon Skin Roll- Hard to Chew & Swallow. Have a napkin handy. If you like fishy tasting pork rinds wrapped in seaweed then look no further. 🤢🤮

    Spring Rolls- not a fan. Rain Thai Bistro in Chattanooga still takes the gold Home for this menu item. Filling is mushy and sticky.

    Not crazy about the crazy tuna roll. Light but fishy. Not a fan of the avocado on top but the quality of the albacore topping is top notch.

    Typical, overly sauced American sushi - but good nonetheless. I would be nice for them to pay a bit more attention to their rice to elevate the bite without having to rely on sauces.

    Go on a Monday or Thursday night for half price sushi. The lunch special is also a great deal.

    Try the JG Roll. The combination of the seared tuna with the crab and panko whitefish is the perfect balance between creamy and crispy.

    Get the shrimp & crab dip - it comes with naan and is so good. I have a hard time NOT getting the shrimp & crab dip.

    Tip your servers they work very hard to deal with your needs and they have to clean up after your mess. Treat them well.

    The tempura roll and pizza roll were my favorites. Bonito flakes on the pizza roll were awesome!

    If you go on half price night don't be hungry and in a hurry. New rule that you can only get one roll at a time.

    Sit at the sushi bar, especially if Brock is working! Ask for his chef's special roll!

    Seriously...the best sushi I've had outside of Nobu in San Diego. That is impressive! :)

    If you're a sushi purist, I'd suggest going somewhere else. Traditional sushi is better and a lot cheaper elsewhere. That being said, if you like crazy combinations then you're in the right place.
