- If you want real sushi, none of that California roll BS then this is the place to go. Toro, uni, amaebi, mirugai are all fresh when available and Koji and all the sushi chefs are super friendly!Upvote3Downvote

Cameron RobertsonDecember 10, 2010One of the better lunch special portions in town. Very diverse staffing unlike most jap joints. Pork is in fried rice. I prefer chicken. Ice cream comes with dinner.Upvote2Downvote

Awesome sushi bar but takes at least a half an hour to get your check. Not cool when you come with little kiddos. Good thing the sushi chefs rock...UpvoteDownvote

"Tried my first sushi here - got salmon nigiri because of my fondness for bagels and lox. It was yummy! Usually I get a bento box when I'm out with family though, but I would like to try more sushi."
