Over a year ago, I found this place on google map and decided to give it a try. Boy, was I glad that I found this place! It has become a main staple for my family during the pandemic! We order it almost once a week, and they never disappoint! I can give you two reasons why it is my #1 sushi restaurant.
First, the service is UNPARALLELED! It's a small family-owned and operated restaurant, and the staff really get to know you if you are a regular. One time when I went to pick up my order, the waitress actually remembered me and gave me back a token, because she said I accidentally handed it to her last time I paid. How many people are that honest and would pay such attention to small details like this? It had been a few days and yet she kept it aside for returning it to me eventually! She completely impressed me, so I bought her a bubble tea as a thank you. This started the friendly exchange every time I go there. Eventually, I got to know a little about the family that owns this place, and I have to say all the staff working there are family members, so they may be a bit short-staffed at peak times, but small businesses are just trying to break even from the pandemic, so they may not be able to hire more staff at the moment. This is exactly why I want to support small businesses. So that we can all get back on our feet again!
Another story of great service: one time I was working from home and ordered lunch to be picked up during my lunch hour. However, I got injured and couldn't go out during the lunch hour to pick up. I also forgot to call them to let them know. The staff actually called me to ask if I needed help, and when they found out I couldn't go out again until after work, they decided to personally drop it off as a courtesy and even remade fresh rolls for me as they said the freshness of sushi cannot be guaranteed after two hours! What kind of business would do that these days? This is why I say, support small businesses and they will take such good care of us in return. I love the PERSONALIZED ATTENTION and CARE that go into dining at family operated restaurants!
I have one more reason why this is the best sushi place, and it's the FRESHNESS of their ingredients. I'm super picky when it comes to the quality of the rolls, from the tenderness of each grain of rice, to the creamy taste of the avocados, to the quality of the sushi paper. (I'm a vegetarian, so I can't tell you if the salmon is just as good, but I'm pretty sure they would be, as the quality of the basics tell you the standard they have for the rest of their food items) I've not been once disappointed by the quality of the ingredients they use. I really look forward to taking that first bite, because it's freshness you can taste right away! read more
