Allergy concerns were raised when a burrito order with gluten restrictions was not kept free of tempura, though a replacement was provided. Still, many encounters highlight generous portions, fresh tasting sushi, attentive staff, and good value, making it a frequent choice for many patrons.View restaurant profile
