Was looking for a place of convenience to meet up with some family for lunch and found this online. Some of the most magnificent food I have had in a while! The place is tiny but spotlessly clean. Everything on the menu sounded wonderful and everything we ordered was delicious. Fresh, Beautifully presented and sooooo yummy. We will definitely be back!

Service was inattentive and unfriendly except for the host. Table was not cleared quickly and water glasses were never refilled without asking. General affect of the servers was not friendly.

It great place to eat. I would reserve seats at the bar instead of a table. It allows you to savor each Temaki piece.
