The Scene – Looking more like a sunny Greek taverna than an austere Japanese sushi bar, this quirky, easygoing spot is popular with couples and families. In warm weather, there are a few tables outside for prime people watching. Despite some minor language barriers, servers are accommodating and expedient. – – The Food – The menu divides itself between sushi and other traditional (cooked) Japanese dishes.

Tradition is key!

by Enolgcmeleumas

It's a good they take the effort to keep to tradition. Very hospitable and the environment and other patrons aren't bad at all. Being that this is an inland area the fish is frozen on ice an transported here. Usually fish caught fresh taste better.

  • Pros: good price, good food, nice people
  • Cons: imported fish

great value

by buddha2lotus

A great little sushi place that serves very good quality Japanese food for very reasonable prices. Unlike a previous post, judging from my Chinese palate, the rice is nothing less than excellent. Also very family friendly. The freshness of its sashimi is on par with MF Sushi Bar which is three to four times more expensive.

  • Pros: reasonable prices, really fresh sashimi, great tempura
  • Cons: parking can be a hassle at times
