This is our go-to spot for fresh, high-quality sushi. The lunch specials are a great deal, served with miso soup or salad. Last Saturday we went for lunch. My boyfriend got his usual Chirashi bowl with a great variety of fish. I usually go for the Ladies’ Lunch Special, but this time, I was in the mood for just rolls and I ordered their signature roll and a roll combo (salmon avo, yellowtail scallion cucumber avo, eel cucumber). Everything was delicious. The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere inviting, and the service always friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Great food! Great service! Definitely recommend volcano roll and sui mai. Dragon roll and spider roll were very good too! Udon was fresh and tasty.

What a delicious experience - The rolls that we got were amazing and flavorful, expertly prepared. The edamame was salted perfectly. Just before we left we tried a delicious sake' as well, provided to us by the bartender - it was amazing. We will definitely visit again.

Tried a sushi spot in NYC that my girlfriend said originally got her to like sushi growing up! We went at lunchtime and were able to try the lunch specials which were well priced and very filling. We started with the crispy rice spicy tuna and I have had many renditions of this dish, but this was my favorite. The rice wasn’t overcooked but was still crispy on the outside and I loved the texture of the spicy tuna on top. Both platters were delicious and our favorites were the spicy tuna roll, and the tuna sashimi. The albacore nigiri was also delicious, props to the chefs here they killed it!

The atmosphere is super cute and the food is great. I heard a lot of good things about the crispy rice and I have to say it did not disappoint! My only note is I would like if the jalapenos were sliced thinner. Super reasonable prices and great quality fish.

First time here. Food was delicious. Atmosphere was pleasant. Lively but not too loud - very easy for conversation. Prices are reasonable. This is not a super luxe restaurant, but what you get for the money is good value. Weeknight dinner, family dinner, before a show or movie etc. Service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely return.
