One of the best sushi restaurants Iv ever been to! Super fast service, me and my friend got our food within 5 minutes of ordering and it was amazing. We didn’t have a reservation and they seated us right away. Very nice service and employees! Efficient, clean and a great place to have dinner!

Love eating here! The teppanyaki is delicious and so is the sushi. Everything is so fresh and the service is great! The teppanyaki is a little pricey but definitely worth it, the chefs are very interactive with everyone and make it really enjoyable. Some of my favorite rolls are; the garlic chip roll, baked dynamite roll, Baja yellowtail roll, and the red dragon roll. For Teppan I like the NY steak and shrimp combo with fried rice. The restaurant is huge, great for large parties. If you plan on going on a Friday or Saturday night make sure to call ahead and reserve a spot. Lastly the view is breathtaking we sat at the grill for dinner and watched the sunset.

Pretty great food, sushi, service and is located at the top of the hill for a nice view. Thouroughly enjoyed the entire experience and as a "sushi noob" very seldomly do I recommend sushi places to anyone.

Let me start off by saying the atmosphere is amazing! They have large windows that overlook the city which makes for a beautiful view of the sunset when we dined in the evening. This was our first time here and the food was impeccable. The salmon is SO fresh and melts in your mouth. Presentation is 10/10. My boyfriend enjoyed their chicken teriyaki as well. The food and atmosphere was so great that I texted all my friends and family after about them NEEDING to try this place. Sushi is by far my favorite food and we frequently try new places, and this restaurant has the BEST fish. Definitely top 2 best sushi restaurants I’ve been to.
