My cousin introduced me to this gem years ago; therefore not my first time here; Noriko Ishii-san is extremely meticulous in her food crafting & is incredibly friendly. She wants to know about people, their love for Japan, & ultimately serve them great food. For a culture rich experience, & good food, this is the best place in town.

Loved every single thing I ate there from the tasty miso soup to the incredible sushis. You can feel the thoughtfulness & quality in every single dish. The portion sizing was perfect for me. I took the combo of sushi makis & I found that the price was very reasonable for what I was getting which was quality & tasty food that didn't leave you feeling heavy or lethargic afterwards. Waiting time for our food didn't take long & as one dish was done, the other dish was coming in so I'd say the service was super smooth & it definitely helped with the overall pleasant restaurant experience. I'd definitely come back here, super happy to have found this gem of a place!
