    Sushi-San is such a fun spot with great energy. It’s lively but never too much, & the staff is always super friendly & on it. The broccolini is a must—so flavorful & perfectly charred. The skirt steak is tender & packed with flavor, & the lettuce wraps are fresh & light. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything here. Solid food, great vibes, & always a good time.

    What a wonderful experience. It is a beautiful place and although rather spacious it is calm and relaxed and not noisy at all. The service was attentive without being too much and truly friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing: Steaks cooked to perfection, truffle fries to die for, delicious Tuna tatare as a starter and a lovely bottle of Littorai One Acre. We cannot praise this place highly enough. It truly is outstanding.

    Very great experience! From arriving up till the end! We were seated immediately upon arrival. It was medium traffic with it being a Friday night around 8pm. Our waitress immediately arrived and asked us for drinks. Lena (Waitress) answered every question about the food and was honest. We ordered crab rangoon and shrimp dumplings as appetizers, they were amazing! For our entrees we ordered Orange Chicken comes with a side of rice and one order of Combination fried rice. We also shared a Korean beef bbq short ribs plate! Which was fricken amazing 100% recommend! The food portions are huge we couldn’t even finish it all. Lena checked up frequently and always refilled our drinks. Amazing service and delicious food for the value! Our bill wasn’t even 80$ for everything. Def a cute date spot!
