Overall a very nice dinner. Their alcohol selection is very nice with a good selection of Japanese whiskey. We got the bluefin sashimi and were not impressed, but the three rolls we got were unique and absolutely delicious. Dessert was not bad; the fruit jelly on top of our cheesecake was a bit gummy. Overall though, the fish was fresh and the vibes were great!

I read about this new place in the Inquirer and it did not disappoint. The OMG rolls were amazing. There were 4 in our party and we all LOVED our meals. The service was outstanding, the manager was very present and making sure everyone was satisfied, the atmosphere was energetic but not so loud that you could not hear each other during dinner. We sushi selection was amazing but there were plenty of dishes for non-sushi eaters. It was my first real sushi meal and the server made a great recommendation, and I loved it. I miss Panera but this is so much better. Thanks for a great early Thanksgiving celebration, we will be back!
