    Consistently great. Fresh & delicious. We shared a variety of starters, rolls, sushi platter, drinks and dessert. Staff is pleasant and professional. Easily one of our faves in Charlottesville and on our overall list of favorite sushi restaurants.

    Great fresh sushi. Nice wine by the glass selection. We sat in Back section with tables very close together and it was extremely noisy. Hard to hear each other talk across the table. Our server was great. Overall it would be five star if it wasn’t for the noise and the crowding of the back room.

    Food was great, service was not so great. The waitress was condescending and gave us attitude. She borderline fat shamed us when we decided to order two more rolls.
