Such a nice neighborhood gem! Service was delightful and the food was delicious. Tempura was wonderful…best dipping sauce we’ve ever had. The shrimp and vegetables were so crispy without being greasy. Husband also had some sushi that he said was out of this world. He had spicy tuna roll and yellow tail lovers roll. Looking forward to the next time.
