    We really like the venue. Very large and can get loud but like the setup. Service can get a little slow when they get busy. Comfort food at its best. For the first time I tried their sushi rolls and they were very solid. Not what you get at a sushi restaurant (fish portions small) but I would certainly order them again.

    Hi Dale, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the venue and the comfort food. We completely understand that it can get a little loud and busy at times, but we're happy to know that you liked the setup. We're also glad you gave our sushi rolls a try and found them tasty, while they may differ from traditional sushi restaurants, it’s great to hear you'd order them again. We’ll definitely work on making sure the service stays speedy, even when we're busy! We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Candice

    Great vibe but pricey. The service was OK but we went on Saturday night so expected it. The food was OK but they removed some of our favorite menu items.

    The food was ok but not sure if I would go there again. We were a table of six. Our food seemed to come out in various stages. Not somewhere to go if you’re on a schedule for sure. Quite loud in there too. Made it hard to converse for sure.
