Thankfully I came in and saw this place also sells poke bowls! We ordered two poke bowls and you can sub your toppings if you want other ones. I got the Super Bowl and it was more than enough as I had leftovers. The volcano roll was decent. The crab ragoon was pretty good. The customer service and quickness of the service was AMAZING! It's a small place def a grab and go spot but we did sit and eat here. They were take out busy but super efficient with everything. The place felt clean. The parking is small in the front but there are other shared parking spaces as it's next to Shaws grocery store. For two bowls, two appetizers, two drinks it was about $65.00. I think it's good for fresh sushi grade fish and quick service.

Been in search for a great sushi spot in the north shore and finally found one. Alan is really…read morepassionate and took great pride and care in the quality of the fish he served. We did the omakase, which is best to make reservations so he can prepare. The omakase is served one piece at a time with time slots of 1:30.330 and 830. It's $110 per person and it's 15 courses. Our favorites were the Spanish mackerel, and the giant eye red snapper. Everything else was really good, but those two stood out as our favorites. You can also order the omakase à la carte, but best to give it some time to prepare because each piece is intricate. We look forward to trying if everything on the menu!

I ordered the Hibachi Steak Bento dinner and was really surprised by how much food you get. In addition to the bento box there was a mushroom soup, salad, and egg roll.

A bonus was that there was enough to have for lunch the next day. I'll definitely be back!

All fine in their own right, but not exactly the environment you think of when selecting a sushi restaurant. Then, just to enter, you need to find the entrance behind a support column and take an elevator up to the second floor. So right off the bat it's a bit strange. That being said, once we were seated for AYCE, everything was superb. The server would bring us a new order card immediately after we ordered each round of food and checked back often ensuring we never had to wait very long for the next round of food to come out. The entire menu was available...sushi, sashimi, rolls (including the special rolls), apps, soups, salads, and hibachi. The sushi wasn't elite, but absolutely fresh and tasty. And the wine is very reasonably priced. There is also a hibachi area of the restaurant that we didn't visit, but we could hear it. It was loud and full of families and it sounded like the chefs were putting on a good show and everyone was enjoying themselves.
