This is a cute little spot off the street. It was hard to get a table, and I can understand why. They have unique sushi rolls and the food is excellent. Everything was fresh and prepared nicely. I will definitely return!

Upon arriving I was a little turned off when seeing how small the space was for this restaurant, but I've been really wanting to try it and have been craving sushi. The service is a little slow or maybe because I was starving and there was only one server at the time. Service was kind, but do not expect speedy. Overall, was won over by the sushi. Listen!! Make sure you are prepared to get multiple roles and they are great to share. My favorite is the spicy scallop and I will be back for this one alone. Be sure to add the Friends Signature roll to your must have! Will not be disappointed.

Good food, expensive for what it is. I think you can get better sushi in the city for that price. My favourtie was this spicy tuna roll.
