We have been to some of the incredibly rated and incredibly expensive sushi places in the region and enjoyed them. But we were hadn’t yet found a clean and delicious sushi restaurant for more casual dining and on a more realistic budget. Now we did.
We drove across Dan Road from Aurora, not entirely sure what to expect. The outside is very unassuming, but the great reviews here are what made us park and walk in. We ordered at the counter, and there are non-sushi items. Everything looked good. The staff were super friendly. We took our seat and waited for our food to arrive.
Our plate of sushi is pictured here. We also had some edamame. The tuna sashimi was a particularly large portion. They have a good selection of sushi, and seemed willing to make changes in the rolls as needed.
Everything was fresh and tasty. The sweet potato roll could have been a little softer? Maybe? No complaints. Portions and price were perfect. Glad to have found this place - and plan on coming back...

18 dollars for the amount of salmon I got was really worth it. Sushi/sashimi are really expensive nowadays, and I appreciate their portion...
