    Sushi did not taste fresh, lacked flavor and was average overall. Lighting was super bright and thus there was not much ambience within the restaurant.

    It was fine, nothing special. The rolls were a good size, however they did not have much flavor. A couple rolls were missing ingredients. Miso soup was room temperature and hardly had anything in it. The side of ahi had way too much pepper seasoning. Very generous with drink refills.

    We frequent this location and love the food. Last evening Honu was our server. She was classy, attentive and personable and made the evening exceptional.

    Everything was good. The only negative for me was that it was pretty loud.

    Food and service were both excellent but it is pointless to request a booth in your reservation for your back issues
