    Staff was friendly from start to finish. We ordered crudos and handrolls, and I appreciated that the menu wasn’t overwhelming, which made ordering easy. The sake selection was nice as well. Every handroll was fresh and flavored just right. We didn’t have a single bad dish and will definitely be back. Thank you to all the wonderful staff!
