“ Great atmosphere. Sat at the bar and has some excellent recommendations from the bar tender, Skyler. Started with the chef's special calamari oyster. This was by recommendation and has such a wonderful depth of flavor. Then tried the Chicken Shitake Gyoza (forgot to take a pic) which was such a wonderful small plate style teaser. Next enjoyed the sumo bulgogi fries which were out of this world. Finished the night off with another recommendation from Skyler of the house baked oyster. The presentation of the last oyster was fun and the flavor combination gave your palette a sense of good old comfort food without being too much or too rich. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling in the area or the locals. Go support this wonderful restaurant and amazing people!! ”
“ What a fantastic place! The vibe was really cool, and I absolutely loved my waitress--she was sweet and incredibly helpful. For drinks, we tried the lemon drop martini and the amazing paradise cocktail, and both were a hit! The firecracker appetizer was my favorite! I adore Hawaiian cuisine, and it reminded me of poke, which is one of my absolute favorites. I devoured every bite! For my main dish, I ordered the combo fried rice. It was just okay; I can't say I would order it again. It didn't taste very fresh, and all the meat was quite bland. All in all I will def be back to try the sushi! ”
“ Great service and the sushi did not disappoint. Went during lunch and the Queen Mango roll and Mango Salmon Poke was so good! Will definitely be back when we are in town! My only thing I didn't like is during the day the one side of the restaurant we were sat on was very dark and dim. Overall a fantastic experience! ”
“ Me again! Tried some new stuff for lunch today. The crab roll with no seeds or cucumber sub soy paper YUMMMY! So fresh and fluffy. We also got the dancing crab roll add cream cheese and YUMM! So good seriously! We ordered delivery ”
“ to me over priced. but for a date it would be ok. the waiter and waitress were good for helping but i haven't been there since before covid ”
“ Nice and chill atmosphere with great music. Definitely suggest making a reservation. Order placed quickly but I did notice it takes a bit longer than expected for food to come out. Other than that the sushi is excellent and the drinks are well made. ”
