“ The staff is amazing. The sushi is amazing. The chef is incredible at what they do. They have a very comfy and relaxed environment that is never too busy. The service is always fast and great. I never liked any fish or sushi until I started eating their dynamite rolls. Their miso soup is good enough to cure your soul. ”

“ The best Japanese we've had so far. We cant eait to come back. We ordered the teriyaki chicken bento lunch special and the teriyaki chicken bowl. ”
“ This place is better than Jin sushi. The sushi's always fresh and tasty. J the owner/ server who is very kind and friendly and knows all his dishes. He can suggest something amazing to help you have a wonderful eating experience. They have all the Korean beers. Family friendly and you can always find a seat. No matter what you order your food comes out at an appropriate time. You have to try the bake oysters or the jalapeno poppers. Korean style sushi, I strongly recommend this place ”
“ This is a small place. It does not look like much on the outside. However, when I walked in, I felt like I was transported into a small town in japan. It was so authentic and down to earth. I had the Island Breeze sushi roll, the spicy baked halibut roll, and the spicy tiger roll. Absolutely delicious. I was so happy with my meal. I can't wait to visit again. ”
“ Food came out quick, fresh and was delicious. Friendly service. Decent price compared to other sushi spots. I'd definitly come back and would recommend to others. ”
“ Absolutely awesome spot!! I'm soooo happy to finally find a place with both great sushi (for my partner) as well as delicious cooked plates for me. Usually, we find either great sushi or great cooked but not both. Perfect portions, absolutely delicious food (the gyoza is a must!) and comfortable ambience. This place feels like the real deal! ”
