    The food was delicious. The matcha-tini was the star of the show! Amazing ambiance with the cherry blossom tree and pink twinkle lights!

    I would come here again, but service is lacking. Took too long for an initial visit from a waiter, then after I ordered a nice bottle of sake, it sat on the bar for some time before a waiter finally brought it. But the food, especially the rolls, was quite good.

    Service was great. Sushi was fabulous. Sat on 2nd floor outdoor seating and it was very noisy with traffic and cars with loud stereos passing below. I would recommend sitting inside.
