    We were visiting from out of town and loved the idea that they had great sushi along with several great beef/pork options. Everything was delicious. We loved the beef fried rice and 4 of us ordered various sushi rolls and they were all excellent. We also tried the burger and it was great as well. Highly recommend.

    One of our favorite restaurants. We were worried about them following the hurricanes but they’ve come back strong and as good as ever! The patio and outdoors have more tables, it’s all been rebuilt and repainted with the same look and charm. The food is on the pricey end but so fresh and delicious. The staff is great as always. Remember to support all of the local businesses that suffered so much loss and devastation.
