Excellent, small local business. Attentive staff who recognized a gluten allergy and called to let us know that the sweet potato sushi roll was rolled in flour and therefore not gluten free in our online order. Very thankful. We will most definitely order again. As for dining in, our large family would not fit in the small location so we are more comfortable at home but there are a few tables to dine in.

Excellent food and service! Rock shrimp rocks the house! The server is the sweetest ever and knows exactly what you want even before you sit down. Two large hot sakes???

Sushi is always great and I find that the dinner bento boxes are incredibly worth it for the price vs. portion. Service is prompt and good and it's always had a nice, quiet environment when dining in.

I have gotten their lunch special many times and the fish is always so fresh and great. Also, they have so many more options on the lunch special rolls than the normal place I go to. Even though it's a little bit out of the way for me, I will keep going here. So good!!!

From time to time we get food delivered from Yuzu since our favorite Japanese place doesn't deliver. Sushi is good with ample portions, but the rice it's made with isn't sticky enough so the nigiri sushi tends to fall apart. Not a problem with hand rolls tho. Delivery is prompt and free. I like the three color sushi made with tuna, salmon and hamachi. Attractively laid out and fresh. However the eel cucumber roll was soggy. The sushi set comes with a tiny salad in a styrofoam cup and small containers of salty soy sauce. Age tofu app was made with large blocks of tofu and wasn't very crispy. Not authentic Japanese style but pretty good. Tonight I tried their "soba" noodle soup which was very good. It comes with a quart of broth and veggies/tiny mushrooms, a separate container of thin noodles (white not buckwheat soba) plus a hearty portion of shrimp and veggie tempura. I combined all three in one bowl and voila, a hearty soup experience!
