OrderTeriyaki chicken Lunch Box, spicy tuna rolls
ReviewI went there because it had such a good rating on this site, but got what not I expected. This restaurant is EXTREMELY small, probably the smallest in my life. I stayed in the line like 10 minutes to be seated and looked like waiters didn't pay attention to me at all. Food was nothing special, nothing to die for or recommend..

Soooooo disappointed..

OrderSummerlicious menu
ReviewI went there for Summerlicious yesterday and was very disappointed. Even though atmosphere is really nice, portions were teeny tiny: for an appetizer they brought a salad ( just couple tiny leaves) and 3 halves of shrimps on top and for main course they brought a piece of salmon with pea puree underneath( it was very liquid and barely covered a plate). We paid 65$ per person and left hungry. I really didn't get it: you still have to keep your standards up even for the Summerlicious menu. Another thing: it looked like they had just one waitress yesterday, which served like 10 tables at the same time..Won't go again.

The BEST Sushi in a town!

OrderEverything
ReviewThis is my favorite sushi place. I'm there everyday ( thankfully I work and live nearby). The previous review is not correct. There is no difference in quality between lunch (9.99+ taxes) and dinner (17.99+taxes) menu. They add just extra, more fancy rolls and sashimi. Since I'm there almost everyday I know their stuff very well and they know me. Guys work hard from 11 am to 11 pm, always nice to you, always bring what you order, never "forget" to bring something. And their rolls just amazing, I can't eat sushi anywhere else.

ReviewI had a lunch @ this place twice, and just waisted my money. The food is awful and tasteless. Go to Mandarin instead.

Not the best sushi place

OrderDeep fried tofu, Spicy salmon and spicy tuna hand rolls, dynamite rolls
ReviewI tried it yesterday cause my favourite Mi-NE Sushi right around the corner was closed. I was really impressed with their Deep Fried Tofu ( I try to order it in every sushi place), however when they brought me hand rolls, there was too much vinegar in them, they were really sour. I didn't like it at all. They dynamite rolls are also not the best I've ever tried, rice was very warm and they were tasted like deep-fried rolls, which I don't love. My advice: go to MI-NE sushi to try delicios and yummy rolls.

No way for dine-in, only take-out

ReviewThis place has the worst service ever. They never bring what you order, it takes forever to get your food. We tried it 3 times for dinner and every time was the same. But.. I really love to order take out. 20 min and you have your party tray, not expensive and very yummy.

OrderSeaweed salad, rolls, tempura shrimps
ReviewI'm sushi lover and actually I prefer sushi buffets, but this place is really oustanding, anytime they bring rolls it's masterpiece:they are so sophisticated and made by a person, who knows and loves making a sushi.
