The only disappointment was the miso soup. Whatever the base stock was supposed to be the soup tasted like warm water. The maguro and hamachi sashimi were excellent as was the tempura combo basket. California roll was tasty and fresh and they even custom made a shrimp tempura roll to order. Service was top notch. Ambience was like a busy Sushi house should be.

At first our service was great. We had to ask for the Special Lunch Menu - called Power Lunch for $19.00. There were 11 girls, all of us ordered from this menu. Waiter took our order, food was good but never got any Bacon on our entrees. Waiter never came back to ask us how are food was. Waiter never came back to fill up the water glasses. Waiter apologized about the No Bacon - said they didn't have any. He gave each of us a $10 off card to use next time. I would go back again.
