Went for my partners birthday and we had a blast! So many options on the menu! We settled with some Popcorn Shrimp, Beef Negimaki to start-So savory and great as combinations! We loved the spicy roll and yellowtail as well. Had to grab dessert after definitely try the Tempura Ice-cream! Super close to Tomi Jazz and in our opinion a great alternative if you're not trying to wait in that hour long queue!

Will keep this review short! Had dinner here with family around the NYE holiday week and I was pleasantly surprised at how well priced and fresh the sushi was! In a sea of sushi spots in Manhattan it's hard to know what's what- and prices can def make or break your wallet. I would say this is on the more approachable end with low key vibes that would welcome you when you're in the mood for sushi without all of the frills and extra $ that come with other big name sushi spots in the city. We had one of the special rolls, and the sashimi- both well made. Would recommend to others- more of a casual weeknight type thing. Service was also great- no complaints! (just a funny FYI: I added this in the photos- couldnt help but notice- Their TV was tuned to the Fox News channel) But let that not deter you! lol)

This has become our go to sushi spot in this neighborhood. Have gotten food to go and also eaten in a few times and the service and food are always very good. The last time we went in it was totally empty. The service, as always, was attentive. Not too pushy to order or anything. We started with the butterfly shrimp which came out hot and crispy. Basically like a small portion of walnut shrimp without the walnuts, really delish. I also had the golden dragon roll which is one of my favorite rolls they do. Paired with some Sapporo's and you can't really go wrong!

Had a great dinner here with my friends last night! Super friendly staff who comes running when they see your hand up - helped each of us split the bill as well at the end. The duck spring rolls were flavorful but slightly on the dry side in my opinion - would recommend to try though because my friends enjoyed it! The food was good and wasn't too expensive either. The sushi for 2 had a basic assortment of sushi - nothing too special but was satisfying. The rest of the rolls were all great as well - my favourite was probably the Crazy Yellowtail Roll, but all of the salmon we had just melted in my mouth. Great time and would recommend!
