This is a great Sushi house. The sushi is fresh and comes out fast. The bartenders and servers are amazing and very friendly. Lydia was super cool and was really great as my server. Her timing is perfect with drinks and food. The shumai, miso soup, spicy tuna roll, and Cajun roll were awesome. Finish it with a couple of pints of Sapporo and the evening was perfect. Thanks and I’ll be back. Cheers!

Hands down one of the best sushi spots I’ve been to! The Pink Panther and JTB rolls were both insanely good—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. Every bite was a hit. Plus, the half-price deal made it feel like a total steal. Great vibes, great sushi, can’t wait to come back!

The dishes here are very unique and the atmosphere is chill! I strongly recommend their matcha mochi ice cream and either the lychee or Fuji apple sake. This is a perfect place for a full meal or just appetizers and drinks. While you’re here, walk around Mt. Lookout afterwards! They are in a great location.

This place has a very extensive sushi menu. There's good-looking cocktails and wines, too, but I didn't explore any drinks the night I came. It was a casual, upbeat vibe on a Thursday night. The rainbow roll is a good test for quality, and I thought it was very solid. The lion king roll had an excellently cooked piece of salmon on top -- quite enjoyable. The shumai was very high quality, too. Everything is surprisingly affordable and less expensive than your average sushi spot, but quality is not compromised. Service was very good. I'd be more than happy to come back.

Amazing deal! Two of us got five fresh sushi rolls for 25 and beers for just 2 each. Everything tasted great, and the service was quick and friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

We enjoyed lunch at a weird time (one server seen the whole time). The tea was a welcomed treat while we waited especially because it is so cold in there! Kungfu roll was amazing (server had a great recommendation). I also had the volcano (liked it ok) and the eel and crab stick sashimi (classic). Restrooms were kind of small but clean. Did not have a hot beverage to go cup for my tea but accommodated me and gave me two plastic cups! Very thoughtful. Overall I love this place, food is amazing, service is nice.

Amazing sushi at unbeatable prices! I came in for the half-price sushi and was blown away by the quality and freshness. The Dragon Roll was tasty and beautifully presented, and the JTB roll was packed with crabmeat and just the right amount of spice. Friendly staff, quick service, and a cozy atmosphere. Definitely one of my new go-to sushi spots. Highly recommend!

Excellent sushi, a couple of different things (we had one roll that seemed choc full of all the usual sushi veg, delicious!). And everything tasted fresh. Service was on point. I didn't really care for all the TVs playing the same sports game, but that's personal preference. Restaurant was clean. Will definitely return
