What diners are saying
Diners consistently rave about the exceptionally high quality and freshness of the fish at this sushi spot, calling it easily the best in town. Standout dishes include the Ikura and Scallop nigiri, the spicy scallop roll, and the Chef’s tasting set, which reviewers note never disappoints. While the space is small with limited seating—making it ideal for takeout or delivery—guests appreciate the quick service and recommend grabbing a Tie Guan Yin milk tea to go. Note that payment options may be limited to apps like Venmo.
