Overall just an okay experience, wouldn't recommend nor come back. Fairly small shop with one waitress, not much variety of sushi rolls. The sashimi combo was very disappointing since it was a 20 piece with only 4 varieties of the standard fish. The tuna was very mushy which makes me think it had been frozen for too long.

Service was very slow; we were 3 guests and only the food for a gast came first, followed by a long wait.

We have rolled the Californian shrimp empura and lion king. All three tasted great. The Ramon-Sodas were funny and cute. Service was also great.

Certainly pleasant experience. Lunch and some drinks. From the city we only have a few places like this where I come from and I wish we had more.

I can't even begin to describe the sushi I've experienced here. Definitely high quality with unique combinations. I can't wait to come back. We at the ijo izaka...

This charming restaurant offers delicious Japanese cuisine. I gave it four stars because the temperature inside was too cold.

Unfortunately, I have to say that the food at this restaurant was not very appealing. The staff were friendly, but the food definitely needs to be better.
