"Absolutely fabulous, I 'm SO looking forward to coming back. The restaurant is small, so luckily they weren 't super busy when we walked in. We got greeted and seated right away. I had green tea to drink, and started with miso soup, gyoza, and the coconut shrimp. The miso was very simple--not even sure if there was tofu in it or I just didn 't get any. But good flavor none the less. The gyoza wrapping is definitely made in house. The sauce that comes with it is great, and the order comes with 5. The coconut shrimp though--that 's where it 's at. I 'm not sure exactly what sauce they put on it but I loved it as did my boyfriend. Some of the shrimp have the tail already cut off which I appreciate. For sushi we couldn 't make up our minds as they have so many good sounding options. We limited ourselves to four rolls though. My pick was the butterfly madam as I 've been super into lobster and crab lately--this is the one on the very left of the photo. Lots of good flavor, just hard to eat a piece in one bite, so if you 're going on a first date, stay away lol Next is the Godzilla roll which is always a safe bet. It was creamy and good. The toro blue fin was my boyfriends choice, and the mango is extremely fresh, the truffle oil is a unique factor I 've never had on sushi before but definitely want again. I 'm not super big on tuna but I could handle this roll. The last one (very right) is my personal favorite--the crunchy melt. I could eat this every day. I 've had mozzarella cheese melted on sushi before and it 's one of my favorite things, but can 't find everywhere. This place does it the best. If you check in on Yelp, you also get free ice cream! We were too full to do that, but maybe next time when we come back we can try to save some room."

"Came in with my boyfriend to get some dinner after working all night serving other people and wanted to relax at what used to be our fav sushi place. Every time we go here there is one or two new servers so they're always learning but overall the food comes out decent and they are one of the only places open late to eat. Ordered 2 waters, a soda, 4 rolls and a veggie tempura starter. From the time the server heard our orders and grabbed our menus off the table she forgot the order that she didn't write down and I repeated it back to her, she still didn't write it down. 20 minutes later our sushi starts coming out and the server informs us she is new and accidentally rang in a roll instead of our tempura... we say no problem and continue to eat and after 15 more minutes a large plate of shrimp tempura arrives. We already overhead the server offer to pay for the first mistake and didn't want to be fussy so since we ate it we would pay for it. During the meal we ate half of our rolls while waiting for wasabi and when my boyfriend got tired of waiting for me to join him got up and asked the servers who were hanging out at the table by the front door chatting. At the end of the day I tipped her 20% but to be charged $14 for something I didn't order instead of the $6 starter is nonsense, especially when the server who admitted was new didn't write the order down in the first place! In this industry it's one thing If you want to not write the order down but you must absolutely get it right if you don't."
