Amazing food served by such warm and helpful staff, especially those who drove all the way to our campus to deliver it! Never had a disappointing meal from them.

“ Amazing little sushi restaurant! We stumbled on this place when walking around the town and couldn’t resist trying it out and I’m glad we did! The staff were super friendly and attentive and the menu was fantastic. There are so many sushi options to choose from as well as other dishes such as Donburi, Ramen and Bento boxes. We had the Tonkotsu Ramen, Katsu donburi and the crunch roll. Each bite was more delicious the last ! Well worth a visit. ”
