    If you don't like it raw try the smoked mussels and California rolls, there bomb! The fried snapper is also excellent. Good atmosphere, good service.

    Vegan specials are marked (vegan) on the menu and most of the obvious White Plate items are vegan. Don't sit at the train because those aren't marked. Sit at a table and let them know you're vegan.

    The fried salmon & avocado handrolls are delicious, and a must-have whenever I'm here. Add a bao, gyoza, or a calamari bowl to you sushi experience.

    If you are looking for value for money, this is your place (salmon is good). If you are looking for quality sushi go to bamboo.

    Sit at the sushi bar to see the cute train, then order fresher sushi directly from the chef.
