Roy DubeFebruary 22, 2013Sushi Thursday gives you an excuse to load up on the small bites - all are awesome but the pork belly is outstanding!
Bonni GreeneFebruary 3, 2013Wow, lobster chowder was wonderful, as was the shrimp fried rice. Alaskan roll had most tender salmon ever. All very yum!
Bennett KerwinOctober 31, 2012Insane Sushi Night on Thursdays is amazing- Try the Effen Li drink and have the Rising Phoenix Roll and the Cucumber Salmon Roll. Divine!
Tap MilwaukeeJune 17, 2013Pick any unbeatable dessert by pastry chef Kurt Fogle, like chocolate and peanut butter, a creamy, crispy, giddy delight.
The new pho dish is outstanding. Pretty close to my mom's in flavor. You need to try it before its gone!
Brian VillersApril 12, 2014The skirt steak small plate is the best steak appetizer I've had in years. Order it rare.
Sam WJune 9, 2011Priced ok. Good selection. Shawna is by far the best server-I was thinking of poaching her for my restaurant Outside of our rolls being served warm- it was pretty good 5/8/11
Good sushi. No place in Milwaukee has set itself apart, so far, but this spot holds its own. However, your wallet WILL be quite a bit lighter when you leave. Read more

Love the new Menu, and you gotta put the Sweat and Sour Chicken at the top of your To-Do list, it was awesome!
Kyle SmithApril 24, 2011Shawna is the BEST server ever! We had her on 4/23/2011 at around 9 pm she literally was magical and amazing!
Kelly DrinkwineApril 29, 2012Even the housemade pickles that accompany the kobe sliders should get some attention. Yum
Dawn Van Den Heuvel-BaumanApril 23, 2012Atmosphere is awesome, sushi is fantastic. Try the crispy shrimp roll.
VISIT MilwaukeeJune 8, 2011Start with the Lobster Potstickers, then go for the Salmon Press entree. Yum. Yum. Yum.
Chuk KohlDecember 20, 2011The shabu shabu is insane! Expect tremendous flavor from a small package. Ask for 2 spoons if you are sharing.

"Good new pizza place. There was a slight lack of sausage on our pizza so they cooked us up an extra plate! I also hear there are some bars upstairs."

"Traditional appetizers get modern embellishments: tuna tartare is topped with a jewel-like quenelle of wasabi-flavored tobiko. Nicely browned brussels sprouts make a fine side dish."
Tap Milwaukee - 7.1
"Have a drink and enjoy the vibe. One of the best chill spots in Mil-Town."
