We always have a delicious meal with our favorite rolls (omg, garlic tuna) and now we can add a delicious side of bulgogi beef! What's most fun is when you discover the special of the day is a baked salmon roll. Thanks Ari!! Amazing.

Paul M.

Good food with friendly service in a clean restaurant. Thankfully, the volume of the TV was low, but I don't get the need to have a TV with sports or news on in a sushi restaurant. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Overall, I enjoy coming back to this place.

Hannah J.

The rolls were made beautifully! Service was great - the chef and prep chef were very meticulous and the food was delicious. We had the Crazy Horse, Cherry Blossom, and California roll and they were beyond our expectations. Will be back soon :)

Kortney O.

Excellent sushi, lots of options to choose from. Love their Las Vegas roll, Final Destination, Tootsie, Hawaiian, and Caterpillar rolls. That's our standard order and it's always fresh and delicious. They are pretty quick with take-out and very friendly as well. This is our go-to sushi place.

McKenzie W.

Love this place! Holly Molly is my favorite roll. Not sure what they put in their extra spicy sauce but it's to die for. We love coming here for date night. Everyone has always been so kind and attentive. Totally recommend and wish I had that sauce recipe lol!!
