    First time here and I loved the place! The crisp and spicy was so good! The best thing is that the happy hour is everything $3.50 until 7:00 pm. The people are very gentle. Very good place!

    Great tasting sushi at great price, very friendly service and love the ambiance. They play really good music here too. Oh, and cheap bottles of good wine.

    Solid maki combo good for an affordable lunch. Service is a bit slow but staff is working extra hard so it's more than forgivable.

    Fine sushi. Great street with other places that makes for a good vibe. I prefer Zest’s ramen place a block or two around the corner.

    $3/roll happy hour may be the tastiest bargain in which I've ever partaken. Don't be fooled by the rock bottom prices, the fish is top notch.
