We ordered the veggie sushi combo, veggie maki roll, peanut avocado roll, and shiitake mushroom roll. The veggie sushi combo came with a salad, but it wasn't brought out with our meal and we had to ask for it. The veggie maki roll was essentially fried rolls, which were solid and satisfying. The vegetarian sushi combo had a beautiful presentation, and it included some veggie sashimi, which was unique and not something I see very often. The peanut avocado and shiitake mushroom rolls were fantastic and definitely the highlights. The ambiance was good, the food was solid but not extraordinary, and the service was mid. Overall, a decent spot with good vegetarian options.
