The food here is amazing, very fresh! All the flavors are very tasty. The service is very good. They are very helpful with the menu. The place is very small inside maybe six or eight tables. The restaurant is very clean. This is a must try!

A nice little place with humongous taste! This place is absolutely fantastic! The food is rich with flavor, I had the bento box with the jalapeño chicken and the chefs choice sushi roll. My wife had the orange chicken bento box. The presentation on the plate was phenomenal and the staff was very friendly. Great, quality Asian cuisine!

This place is one of those restaurants that can be easily overlooked because of the exterior paint or sign. But, it's a classic example of not judging a book by its cover. I started going to this place four months ago and my only regret is that I did not find it sooner! The service is great and the sushi is fresh and delicious! They also have some amazing hot food choices, all at reasonable prices. If you're looking for some fun ask them for the chef roll and they will make you something custom. If you haven't tried this place, don't wait. Go now!

Cute, small little spot to drop in for some sushi. The service was really great. We were greeted promptly at the door and seated right away. Our food was hot and served quickly as well. Our waitress was always checking on us and didn't forget anything. We sat at the sushi bar and go to speak with the sushi chefs while we ate. A bunch of friendly faces to chat with. Emphasis on the small. You walk into an intimate restaurant with some yummy food. I sat at the bar with my wife. We ordered edamame, shrimp tempura, hand rolls, and two sushi rolls. The shrimp tempura was served with a pinkish sweet and sour sauce - I'm used to the traditional light tentsuyu rather than sweet and sour so that threw me off.

Ordered Bento Box with Orange Chicken. best Bento I've ever had! All the usual items plus some not listed on the menu. Generous portion. Orange Chicken was lightly breaded and the sauce was excellent! I learned I can substitute the California roll in the lunch Bento box for something else. Also ordered Jasmine tea, served hot and a second pot was delivered 1/2 way thru the meal for nothing extra. For the meal received, the price of $15 was very reasonable! Great Service. Small and intimate restaurant. I will be going back to try the sushi menu!

Stopped by after an adventure with my son. He wanted Asian so I Yelped and this was on the way. Small strip mall style restaurant filled with locals so that is always a good sign. Decent sushi list but seems to be a bento box place as that is what every table had several of literally. The place was packed so we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seater. Service was attentive and efficient. My water glass stayed full most of the time. They were busy. This seems to be a local family owned and operated business and they did a great job. I don't remember the two rolls but they were good and my son's Shrimp fried rice must have been great as it all disappeared rather quickly.
