Absolutely phenomenal!!! So delicious 🤤 My husband and I used to live in Malaysia for a couple of years and when we came back, one thing that we craved was the sushi. Not because there aren’t sushi places around, but because we always feared whether there was alcohol in it. We can’t even buy sushi from Costco because of how much alcohol there is in it. The sushi was amazing! The pictures speak for themselves and the taste is even better. Definitely try out if you’re in the area, and make the drive if you’re not!

This spot is such a hidden gem. The sushi is fresh and beautifully presented. Even the little details stand out, like the metal cups that keep your drink ice cold and make the whole meal feel even more enjoyable. Service is quick and friendly, and everything comes out looking just as good as it tastes. I will definitely be back!
First time visiting, Overall good experience, first thought the price was a bit overpriced but the portion was big enough for the price. Friendly staff, good atmosphere. Beef steak is very tender and juicy! Only giving 4 stars because the menu I wanted was unavailable at this point and lack of choices for appetizers, and 2 pieces of Nigiri is $9 which was a bit high price.
A little casual Japanese restaurant with diverse menu. XO roll was very good! Curry using was just ok. Lacks flavor but the noodles has a good consistency.
