Me and my family have been coming here for years. Service is always top notch. Food is great and they have more than just sushi if that’s not your cup of tea and just want a classic Chinese American dish, they got you. Lunch special is great especially for sushi rolls. They give you soup and salad with it! I really love this place and hope they stay in business forever. My favorite app they got is sushi pizza. You won’t be disappointed. Absolutely delicious. Also Just had chicken garlic style today. Love the spicy garlic sauce. I found my new go to dish now.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We decided to dine in for the 1st time for my wifes birthday since we previously ordered togo from here and we were impressed by their sushi. We had a salmon roll ,yellowtail jalapeño roll , Alaska roll ,& Sakura roll. Also shared a lunch special szechuan beef. The food was very tasty & we felt we got good value for our money HOWEVER...... THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE! We were served by a middle-aged Asian lady who never told us her name. She never actually wrote down our order which made me nervous ( especially since my wife had made changes mid order) When we got there when they opened we were already prepared with our order but our waiter continued to wipe down almost every seat in the restaurant until I just had to wave her down. There was 3 total times we saw our waitress after we ordered: 1. When the food was brought out 2. She actually came to the table to ask if the food was ok( which was the only time she also smiled during the entirety of our lunch). 3. When we saw her eating her lunch in the middle of the dining room. ( keep in mind THEY JUST OPENED ,NOBODY ELSE WAS DOING THIS JUST OUR WAITRESS) This was extremely unprofessional! It seemed that nobody else was getting this type of poor service. There were 2 other servers who were present that smiled & were very attentive to their guest. We on the other hand werent even offered a refill . Now if I hadn't previously read a few reviews to get a feel for the place I would've been furious about this. I had noticed that there are very mixed reviews about service, but people genuinely enjoy the food and value here so we chanced it. While we are definitely willing to give this place another chance for dining in we will make sure that we request not to be helped by this waitress again.

My husband and I was in the mood for some sushi and it was pretty good, very good honestly. We also ordered the egg rolls which were fresh. He ordered the egg drop soup which he enjoyed and I ordered the hot and sour soup, not my favorite. If we’re in the mood for sushi we will keep this place in mind
