The service felt quite hurried, which was disappointing. I probably won’t be coming back, as there are several other sushi spots in the area that are much better.

The staff was incredibly friendly, and our chef did a wonderful job; the food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend checking this place out. As a side note, I ordered the NY strip steak, which came with a generous amount of sides, as shown in the photo below.

I visited in early spring and had a really unpleasant encounter with a rude server who rolled his eyes when we ordered drinks and practically slammed our food down on the table. I decided to give them another chance for my nephew’s birthday because he had been eager to go. Unfortunately, the same server was working and was just as disrespectful. Our group of eight filled a hibachi table, but the server was impatient, rude, and cut us off multiple times. He also wrote down the order incorrectly, even after we corrected him. His attitude was so bad that our chef actually spoke to him about it. I definitely won’t be coming back, not even for takeout. The only reason I’m giving two stars is because our chef was fantastic and helped make a very uncomfortable experience a little more bearable.

I went out with my girlfriend and her family, and we had four meals for just $100 total. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the hibachi steak was fantastic. At $17 each, we all got fried rice, noodles, vegetables, and more. There was plenty of food; we were completely stuffed, and my family even had leftovers. Definitely worth it—I highly recommend!
