    OH Wow. The best best Sushi in town. Loved it. The special with a pepper in it was the best. Will do again.

    Yoshi, Coo Coo Nest & Kampai roll are all outstanding. Fried or steamed gyoza are both an excellent start. Great atmosphere as well!

    Besides the fact that they're extremely slow, it's pretty expensive. Setting is very nice though and has a cozy outdoors area. Could be OK for an occasion but not for a regular day's dinner.

    Good decor, nice atmosphere, and friendly and speedy service. The sushi is pleasant and contemporary, but for more traditional sushi Osaka does it better

    The food is great here, however the wait time has been painfully long the past three times I've been here. Seating is quick, but placing your order then getting your food takes forever.
