For vegetarian diners, the menu may have limited options.

It's like a WHOLE in the Wall! Lol. I enjoyed it here. It's not too bad. I think the sushi tasted good! They don't really have too many vegetarian options, but they use BUTTER instead of Fish oil or any oil for vegetable fried rice! I was so happy about that because it's hard to find places that don't use fish or oyster sauce. I loved that they cut the veggies so finely! The Veggie fried rice was very Bland, but I added some spice, and it tastes so much better. Also, we got cucumber maki, avocado maki, and veggie maki all with cream cheese, and it was delicious!
Went there on a Saturday night for the very first night. Restaurant is located inside of a strip mall with plenty of parking. We made reservations but to our surprise there were plenty of open tables. There were plenty of orders by the front desk waiting to be picked up. I would say walk-ins are fine and you will not have to wait much. They have nice ambiance setting with red high end furniture and green background walls, very unique look but nice. Their menu is extensive and divided into lunch specials and dinner. We ordered four different kind of sushi and an appetizer. I would highly recommend their appetizer, Wild Jalapeño. All of the food was delicious and made with high quality ingredients. Overall we had an excellent experience. If you are looking to stay local and want good quality sushi I would recommend this place.
Ordered like 8 rolls of different Sushi. All of them were amazing!! Very delicious and well done Service was phenomenal, our waitress was so nice and she memorized the whole order. Thank you for also being patient with kids. Im excited to come back for more
Aside from the booth seats being pretty ripped up, the atmosphere was nice. The menu itself was...interesting. I'm not sure why so many of their rolls included jalapeño but it just sort of felt like a poor attempt at fusion cuisine, I guess? It was sort of tough to taste the actual fish in the rolls I got too because they absolutely drowned them in sauce.
The food was amazing, a bit pricy but well worth the cost. We started with the Crab Ragoon, which were filled and didn't have a lot of extra crust to them. Then we got three different sushi rolls, and all of them were excellent. The Dragon roll was more mild than we expected, and the Kitchen Sink was amazing! Both were very filling and very tasty! The last roll was a Philadelphia roll, which is pretty standard and was very good! The place was busy with take out orders, and there were some people sitting inside. The server was very polite and very quick. Overall, we will return and we suggest you try it out too!
