From the moment I placed my order, the person who took it was incredibly friendly and patient, handling my somewhat complicated request with great ease. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious—hands down the best sushi I've ever had. The California roll, honey California roll, and shrimp tempura were all fantastic. I’m so pleased to have discovered this place and can’t wait to return!

I ordered a Spicy Dragon Roll, which wasn't spicy at all, and a Rainbow Roll. I felt that a little eel sauce would have complemented the Dragon Roll nicely, but it was drenched in it instead. The Rainbow Roll I typically enjoy comes without any sauce, but the one I received here was overpowered by it. Sometimes, simplicity is better than excess. While I understand that the chef aimed for good presentation, I explicitly requested light sauce on the Dragon Roll and no sauce on the Rainbow Roll. The restaurant also offers an all-you-can-eat buffet, but I prefer quality over quantity. Whenever I try out a new sushi place, I always order two of the most expensive rolls. Overall, this place is just okay.

The service was quite detached; I had to call them over like on an airplane, as they didn’t come to check on me at all. The food didn’t impress me either; it didn’t wow me or leave a lasting impression. Additionally, while the restaurant is marketed as Japanese, the menu features a blend of various Asian cuisines, with a strong focus on Korean dishes. So if you’re seeking an authentic Japanese experience, this may not be the place for you.
