I’ve been coming here for years and I can’t recall once ever having a bad experience. The food has always been nothing less than excellent. The location is very unique to the restaurant, although I will say that if you have any type of issues with high ceilings regarding your hearing this may not be the place for you. But if you don’t this is the best place for great quality sushi.

Reservations for two. Sat at a table. Then was move because of an excuse that the location of a chair at the table was blocking a fire lane when the restaurant was not quite at half occupancy. Then the order....appetizer soup didn’t come out until after sushi arrived and then a portions of one of the sushi roll was missing. Heard good things about this place. After the experience, , I understand why it was less than half occupied.
