Quite disappointed by the food.The sushis we got were fine in terms of taste, but given the portion (smaller size than usual) and ingredients (fewer than usual for non-basic rolls/sushis), they were overpriced.The pork buns were not very warm — the buns were a tad hard to chew.Only the chicken yakitori was yummy. Otherwise, great service and good ambiance (it was quite loud but it was a Friday evening, so perhaps hard to find a calm place at that time!).

Had a great time here! Byob so make sure to bring your own special wine.Sushi was outstanding.They had a great tuna special for the night we really enjoyed.It was super quiet here for a Sunday night.There was only one other couple the entire time we were there.The edamame was tasty but I wish I had gotten dessert!
We enjoyed our dinner there. The rice in sushirolls is extremely soft, it wasn't good.Sashimi is excellent.
