The sushi cook had it on its own. I was blown away from food and service! There were so many possibilities of sushi that I didn't even recognize existed. The prices were not bad either. They offer several buy 1 get 1 half out and the waitress was happy to help us everything we wanted for the best price. It was so delicious, hands down the best sushi I ever had. I will definitely come back!

The shrimp was not deveined (meaning the poop shoot was still in the shrimp. The tempura batter was not actual tempura batter, it was corn meal. Like did white people make this? The shrimp, stake and chicken was all over cooked. It was tough and hard to bite in. The sashimi was not fresh at all and left a nauseating feel after eating it. I don't know how this could have gotten 4 stars when this is abhorred. Save your money people don't go here!

I visited on a Tuesday evening, so it wasn’t particularly busy. Once we finally had a server, she was friendly, helpful, and efficient, so I’m not sure what delayed her initially. I was surprised by the menu, which had a lot of American-style sushi rolls (my personal favorites), but I chose the bento dinner box instead. Unfortunately, it didn't compare to any other bento boxes I've had in different states. This one didn’t include miso soup or salad, which was disappointing. The main dish was coated in a heavy corn starch brown sauce rather than a light teriyaki glaze. My boyfriend ordered chicken lo mein, which was decent and came in a good portion. The only reason this place earned two stars is because they have darts and pool tables. Playing several rounds while waiting for our food was really fun, and they didn’t charge for it like some bars do, which was a nice bonus. However, I probably won’t intentionally return to this restaurant.

I was not going to order sushi as I was afraid it wouldn't hold up to my expectations. I intended to order something safe from the kitchen, but the menus we received only had sushi options. After ordering, we looked at the single slim drink menu out of curiosity and it turned out to be a kitchen menu with burgers, sandwiches and such. Oh well, order was in and too late to change, so here we go... Sushi looked good on arrival and tasted okay, although the texture was off-putting. Shrimp was dry and rubbery. Ginger and wasabi was dry and devoid of flavor. Service was fast, friendly and attentive. 5 hours later and I'm not sick yet. Fingers crossed.
