Great location & the food was fantastic. You can eat inside or out on the patio for people watching on Silver Spring. The presentation is very impressive & the portions are good sized. There is a small parking lot in the back but parking on the street is easy too. You can easily walk from Bayshore if you wanted to park in the ramp & go shopping.

Had a great experience. Loved the service and the food. I tried the house salad, miso soup, beef negimaki, T-rex roll. All of them were phenomenal. The T-Rex roll was just so cruncy, delicious and flavorful. The house salad comes with a dressing which is so good. Also drank the hot saki which was amazing. Absolutely love the place and highly recommend it.

We came here for dinner after shopping and were not disappointed. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. My spouse ordered two appetizers for their meal. They chose a tuna sashimi dish and the dynamite shrimp. I could have had two bowls of the dynamite shrimp as a meal myself, as it was so good. I ordered 3 sushi rolls. Mars, rising sun, and T. rex roll. All of them were honestly great. The rising sun was my favorite, followed by the mars, and then the T. rex. The only down side of the T. rex was that it had too much mango chutney on it. In their defense I don’t like mango and I just assumed it was a small dollop, but it was actually covered in it. Overall everything was absolutely delicious and fresh with great portions. Highly recommend! We will be back frequently. Photo shows from front to back mars roll, T. rex, and rising sun.

Read some reviews first, super glad we chose this joint. We love sushi & it’s hard to find some where we live! Place is modern, relaxed vibes. Parking lot in rear is on the smaller side! We had 3 special rolls, miso soup, house green salad, 2 kirin 22oz beers & a sake, altogether is was 88, which is very good! Sake was refreshing, light & fruity. Cutest cup to drink out of. 22oz kirin is always a go to at any sushi restaurant. Pictured rolls- golden dream & crazy tuna. Both very good. Golden dream is on the “newbie” scale if you know what I mean. Tempura shrimp with avocado and mango. Very refreshing. The crazy tuna was perfectly peppered. Avocado gave it a nice cool down from the pepper. Miso soup has a smoky flavor to it, super yummy! Also- Max our server, was great! Very attentive. He was also chatty which was nice!

Been meaning to go here for a while and wasnt disappointed. Got the seafood bowl. Wasn't the best I've had but I would get it again. The susi was pretty good. I would definitely eat my way down the menu.

This was my first experience here. I ordered over the phone after checking out the menu online. When I arrived to the establishment, there wasn’t much parking available but there were many spots available for street parking. When entering the restaurant, it was pretty full for a Friday early afternoon. I explained to the cashier that it was my first time and she kindly provided me with a menu and suggested other popular dishes. I will say the Godzilla roll was delicious! It was sweet and a bit spicy. I will be returning to try more sushi :)

This place has great food and service. We enjoyed every aspect of our visit. Their card machine was down when we arrived but there are several banks within a short walk so that was an easy fix. They do have a small free parking lot in the back. As you may or may not know that’s a luxury the closer you get to the city. Food was fresh and delicious and they have a pretty decent selection of beverages.
