Good price, good fish. The staff were kind and efficient. We shared the omakase special of the night, some appetizers and a roll that came with it.

We had a great dinner. The only miss was the sake katsu - the salmon was really dry and we couldn't really eat. Kamo salad was refreshing. We had the tuna and salmon hako sushi, lobster tempura futomaki, and other rolls. Highly recommend!
