I feel bad for writing a less than stellar review because the staff was friendly, and they gave us (incredibly salty) miso soup before the meal and a cream puff at the end for a dessert. The portion sizes were very generous! The presentation of the food was also nice.
Apart from the Tootsie roll, though, the sushi was just not good. The fish on top of the rainbow roll must have been left in the fridge without any kind of covering because the texture of it was dried out and flaky.

Service was thoughtful but not intrusive. The lone waiter took great care of us bringing two perfect profiteroles out for a sweet finish to a surprisingly fine meal. This place is a nice Asian restaurant masquerading as a tiny Mexi...
Read moreWe discovered this place last year and now it’s where we go any time we want to eat out! The staff is so friendly and accommodating and the sushi is incredible and the portions are huge! I usually get a donburi bowl and take home half of it for later! I also recommend the carne asada roll because it’s so unique and wonderful! The servers go above and beyond to make you feel...
