Great food! The service walking in was great but our actual servers weren’t. It was a young girl and guy. They checked in on us to walk away laughing and then standing in the corner laughing and making jokes. It seemed they were more interested in their conversation and jokes than to actually do their job. It made us super uncomfortable and we quickly left after noticing them staring at us laughing. If they are there next time we will not be eating there, but everyone else was amazing! Customer service is something most of these reviews comment on, so just keep that in mind.

I’m a sushi lover, and I’ve eaten at a lot of spots, but this place is truly one of the best!! The fish is incredibly fresh and everything is just so flavorful. I had the spicy garlic edamame, Aloha Roll and the Tiger Roll & both were DELICIOUS. On top of the food, our waitress, Rhea, was fantastic. She was super friendly, gave us great recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her energy and amazing service really added to the experience. I’ll definitely be back. If you're a sushi fan, you can't miss this

I had been here before the pandemic and it was pretty good. My most recent trip was a very different experience. The food wasn't too bad but the service definitely degraded. Had to ask for things repeatedly, rarely got water refills, and this was when it wasn't even that busy. The worst thing though is the half off menu. They jacked the prices up to about $25 per roll and said they are half off. The premium rolls are only a couple dollars more per roll! It's a very blatant marketing gimmick but at least now I know. I get the pandemic has made things more difficult but the half off menu really peeved me. It has a nice interior and atmosphere though.

The music is the best part! 70's funk and 80's hits! Place is getting old, broken and chipped plates are still in use. Good flavor, but I think they use too much krab meat and rely on sauces more than fish flavor. Great teas and beer, nevertheless Need to up the desserts. No tempura ice cream!

Umai was SO good! I have eaten sushi about once per week for many years and this is among my favorites I’ve ever found. Delicious fish and rice, unique rolls, super friendly staff. Can’t recommend enough!
