Didn't stay to eat since they didn't have ramen on the menu like the other locations (and I don't like sushi very much) but the food I saw other people eating looked fantastic. Cute little spot if you're a sushi head.

Went with my kids and WOW that was some good sushi! Our waiter was awesome and attentive, and they even surprised us serving our last 2 rolls on a "scene." It was a great experience and we'll definitely be back. 5 stars all the way!

Been meaning to go here for a while and wasnt disappointed. Got the seafood bowl. Wasn't the best I've had but I would get it again. The susi was pretty good. I would definitely eat my way down the menu.

Read some reviews first, super glad we chose this joint. We love sushi & it’s hard to find some where we live! Place is modern, relaxed vibes. Parking lot in rear is on the smaller side! We had 3 special rolls, miso soup, house green salad, 2 kirin 22oz beers & a sake, altogether is was $88, which is very good! Sake was refreshing, light & fruity. Cutest cup to drink out of. 🥰 22oz kirin is always a go to at any sushi restaurant. Pictured rolls- golden dream & crazy tuna. Both very good. Golden dream is on the “newbie” scale if you know what I mean. Tempura shrimp with avocado and mango. Very refreshing. The crazy tuna was perfectly peppered. Avocado gave it a nice cool down from the pepper. Miso soup has a smoky flavor to it, super yummy! Also- Max our server, was great! Very attentive. He was also chatty which was nice!

Great location & the food was fantastic. You can eat inside or out on the patio for people watching on Silver Spring. The presentation is very impressive & the portions are good sized. There is a small parking lot in the back but parking on the street is easy too. You can easily walk from Bayshore if you wanted to park in the ramp & go shopping.
