Really good food just a little surprised by tip being added when we paid? Should have been specified… very strange practice.

Come here for authentic Japanese food especially sushi. There is a variety of sushi u can choose from as well as deserts and drinks. The restaurant is decorated very lovely. Well priced compared to other places. Great service as well. Only problem is sometimes it can be busy so be prepared to wait a little but it is completely worth the wait.

Very nice design, oriental casual but cost in the same time, sushi is tasty and well presented, prices relatively higher than an average sushi place but in a reasonable way as it is indeed more enriched in comparison with others

Yum yum yum! This place was pumping on a Wednesday night! We had a short wait outside when we arrived, once we were shown to our table and made our first order we knew exactly why they were so busy. The food was so delicious and the service was outstanding. They were so busy but the staff have a process that works so efficiently all our orders were out so quickly. Good work guys we loved everything about our dinner and will definitely be back again.

This lovely little sushi bar has become one of my favourites on the Coast. Food is always fresh, staff are busy but friendly and even when there's a wait, the line moves quickly! Our must try menu items are the sweet and spicy chicken bento or bowl, crispy salmon skins, karaage chicken (so succulnt and not dry like other places) and basically any sushi train sushi (cheese topped salmon and salmon with onion are stand outs)!! We love picking things off the menu or sushi train - makes the whole process very easy and $4.80 per plate makes it an affordable lunch option (hence why it's always popular, even on weekdays for lunch).
