Nice quaint restaurant in an older section of town. Seems like a local favorite as it was quite busy on a weekday. There were actually 3 parties celebrating birthdays when we dined. We had the Chirashi Sushi bowl and the Salmon Special which were both delicious. Service was good even through the busyness.

Had the Spring special which was such an amazing deal! Sashimi was so fresh. The clam miso soup was the bomb! The chirashi sushi was the bestest, the layer of shredded shiso enhanced the flavor of the sashimi soup well. My friend and I loved it! And service was just awesome! Kudos to the staff and chefs!

We really enjoyed the food and service and the sashimi was among the best Iāve had outside of Japan. Surprisingly so, the restaurant wasnāt in great condition and the floors and bathrooms werenāt very clean. I gave the restaurant a four star rating because I weighed the food and service more than the ambience.
