Our waiter was very attentive, checking in on us several times and refilling my green tea four times.

I ordered the shrimp and scallop teriyaki, and the sauce was bursting with flavor. The scallops were cooked to perfection, which is something I don't always encounter. The servers were attentive without being overly friendly. I would definitely return for more.

The price of the sushi lunch went up a dollar compared to last year, which is understandable. I also enjoyed a large hot sake for $10, which was great! I was initially going to give a rating of 5, but the waiter took my nearly finished sake bottle away a bit too quickly. Overall, I’m happy to see them open again for dining!

The service was a little disorganized with no clear indication of who was taking our order and we waited a while to see served. However, once the orders were taken, it was quick. The spicy lemongrass seafood soup was a must-have and the rolls were creative and tasty.
