On 9/21/2026 Ashley R had this to say:
The food was so good. They had a good variety of sushi. I will be going back to try different types of rolls they have to offer. I got the fried tofu Ramen and it was such a good portion. The miss soup base was so delicious along with the spice level I got medium and was the perfect amount. We had excellent services and the owner came around making sure every one was satisfied. We even witnessed him as we were leaving assisting another guest take his to go order to his car. We will be going back. My family and I are so excited to have a new restaurant on the south side with great food and atmosphere.

My husband and I were waiting for the restaurant to open, which felt like forever! Since they've opened we've been there at least once a week! The owners and employees are the sweetest and do everything to make sure you are satisfied with the food. We will continue to eat their weekly, to ensure we keep this great food option on the Southside!
