Delicious and great quality sushi. The staff were friendly. We went at an off period so it was quiet.

Tasty spot in a casual communal restaurant area attached to the Marriott. Sushi & poke were good - staff were quick & friendly. There’s a bar in the communal area such that you can bring drinks over to have with your sushi & poke.

The best sushi in uptown, and it’s not even really close!! Super friendly staff and laid back casual atmosphere. One of my favorite places to spend my lunch break or stop in before a night out Definitely worth checking out when your in the area

It wasn't the best sushi I've had, but for a 'mall food court' it held its own. They have a bar seating area and regular tables. The table we sat at was a little dirty from the previous guests when we arrived, but it was easy to clean up and enjoy the meal. We didn't wait long and it was ready for pickup. Again, don't expect table service, you're at the food court. Service was very friendly and I watched them provide smiles with every order. There are other restaurants in the mall (ethnic or not) that may be worth checking out of you're not in the mood for sushi, but if you are, stopping by here won't be a mistake.

We went on a calm Sunday evening and thoroughly enjoyed our experience! The gentleman working were SO friendly and very kind and patient as we selected our sushi. He honored a happy hour special for us that we had only missed by a few mins, and when I got clumsy and dropped 2 pieces of my sushi roll, they kindly remade them with no issue at all! I will certainly come back for the service alone. The sushi being super fresh and very well crafted was a PLUS! Can’t wait to return. We ordered the Green Lantern and Bang Bang Shrimp rolls, and the traditional Spicy California roll! So amazing!
