Do not let the busy location or parking area of this restaurant deter you from going. Out of all the sushi restaurants I’ve visited across NC (and I have eaten at many), this one is easily my favorite for both flavor and quality. The servers are always kind, and the food comes out quickly, even on busy nights. I’ve been here at least seven times, and the quality of the sushi is consistently excellent. The restaurant is always clean, too. I appreciate a place that clearly values both its food and its service. Highly recommended for any sushi lover.

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.

January 2026 – Everything was absolutely amazing! Salmon lava roll is incredible, my new favourite! The shrimp tempura is excellent and a real spring mix house salad with ginger dressing is one of the best I’ve had! And the service is friendly and impeccable! UPDATE: I ’ve had three meals here in a week all of which are consistently excellent and the customer service is awesome! Well done!

While on vacation, we wanted hibachi and found this place online. The inside is really cute with curved booths and a modern aesthetic. The staff are friendly but drag their feet some. The menu offers a good variety but make note the food is not cooked in front of you. The portion size were good and the price point was fair. We got the chicken, steak and shrimp and split a plate and it was more than enough. I give the plate a solid 7.5 out of 10, we did the fried spring rolls and those were a 5 out of 10 they tasted like a frozen spring roll from the grocery store. The potstickers were a hit, I'd give them a 8 outta 10. We did order a sushi and it could have been that I picked the wrong thing but it was sent back, it had a sauce I couldn't really handle. The waitress was more than happy to remove the item from our bill. Overall, nice place to go check out.
