👍👍 What a lovely experience. I asked myself can one fall in love with a platter of sushi? The answer is yes, they definitely can. These were the most texturally complex and flavorful sushi I ever ate. We ordered from the tempura sushi section. The server, a Philippino guy was great. Helped us order p...

    What a lovely experience. I asked myself can one fall in love with a platter of sushi? The answer is yes, they definitely can. These were the most texturally complex and flavorful sushi I ever ate. We ordered from the tempura sushi section. The server, a Philippino guy was great. Helped us order patiently, made sure all our needs were met and helped us find a taxi afterwards. Brilliant. Can't recommend this place enough. A must try. 👍👍👍👍👍

    A really good Japanese restaurant with deliciously fresh sushi. Generous portions fairly priced. Very friendly customer service, fast and efficient. Clean bathrooms. I recommend making reservations in advance.

    Service: service was quite slow, but eventually we got what we needed but I had to stand up to order something once, had to flag server down to pay three times ,waited for check for 21 minutes after dishes were cleared and we asked the first time. No English spoken but it worked as the menu you get on your phone with a QR code and read the menu in English, and you can always point, and it has photos which is helpful. Salmon nigiri Delicious, rice was quite well done, good vinegar to honey ratio, and good proportion to fish. Salmon melted in my mouth. I wish this was the only item I ordered it was so enjoyable. Traditional sushi pizza: tasty. As a dish they overpower the wonderful fish with loads of sweet sauce and dynamite salad. I'd not order this again. Was also very difficult and messy to eat. I'd prefer two more nigiri instead! Niku Nina: grateful this wasn't fried or covered with mayo but it had far too much rice and had cream cheese. Something in the roll had a rather bitter flavor. Makinon: overcooked shrimp, chewy. Over covered in crab salad. Covered in sweet sauce, too much rice, avocado was non existent. Pikaton, overly cream cheese inside, overly mayo on top. Good spicy filling on the topping but could do with half the mayo. Ambiance: modern, well lit, good modern dance music playing lightly in the background. You can still talk and read. Overall, not enough veggies. Rolls are covered in mayonnaise, sweet sauce, cream cheese and fried. That's not good sushi to me. I cannot recommend this place.

    The taste isn’t bad and the service is good but it’s not your place if you’re craving classic sushi rolls. Most rolls are fried, with a lot of sauces, fried stuff on top, and each piece is too big for one bite. Super fatty. My friend enjoyed it but it wasn’t for me. Check out the menu and photos before you go.

    Great restaurant with good music and fresh food. The staff are super friendly, the service is outstanding and there's also a DJ! Besides being super delicious, the food is also aesthetic and unique. We are very glad that we found this restaurant 😁😁

    As Amazing as I hope it would be! I tried their fusion sushi many years ago and I’m glad they have not changed the quality and they are now in the city center!! All the ones with plátano macho were to die for! Will definitely go back again soon!

    We got the lunch special which included and appetizer and one main dish as well as dessert and free drinks. Also one sushi dish. The food was delicious and the staff was very kind. One of the dishes had pork in it and they replaced it without any problems. Highly recommended.

😐 It is an experience, I have mixed feeling about it. The salad and the mayo don't know. It looks like they were in a hurry. I Don't recommend eating here It's not a good experience
