“ Really nice service!! Not a long wait and everything was super delicious. Highly recommend the spicy tuna roll and miso soup! ”
“ This place rocks! Fresh green tea, good food, wonderful staff, inviting/warming atmosphere PROS: - Very wonderful decor - Small yet roomy - Having green tea as an option - Seats were sturdy and comfy - Food larger than other sushi restaurants - Food was definitely not frozen - Could tell they really cared about your experience CONS: - The music was calming but not traditional which could be a pro just wasn't my taste (it was lofi hip-hop sounding) - It was a bit expensive but completely worth just not a place I could afford every day though ( it was about 60 bucks for 2 people) Overall it merits the 5 stars I can tell the people that work there want to improve and make interesting dishes and cater to there staff, this would make a great dinner or date spot. Highly recommend trying it at least once although I will definitely be returning . ”

“ Sushi done right, salads, fried rice and tempura are some of the treats on their extensive menu. However, the best part of the dining experience is the engaging staff. Their outgoing, happy attitude is as good as it gets. I highly recommend going here for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends! ”
“ I took my bride here for Valentines day while passing through La Grange. We loved the food and drinks! The roll we had was deep fried and absolutely delicious!! The place isn't fancy but good food and service. ”
“ Decided to try this place for dinner after a coworker recommended it. The food was delicious, they recommended the tuna lovers roll and the green dragon roll, which complimented each other nicely! The prices were also very reasonable. While the food was great, what stuck out to me was the service. Very friendly and welcoming and was patient with me deciding what to order and providing different recommendations. This place is a must try! ”

The sushi We think is rated 7/10 we eat alot of sushi especially in Louisville and this place has exceptional service and food! ”
“ My first time trying this Japanese sushi bar and restaurant but it won’t be my last. When I walked in I was greeted and given a table to sit. The sushi chef and his area was right behind where I was sitting and I could stand up and watch him make the sushi and admire the expertise. They have a good variety of choices on the menu including many vegetarian options. I chose several options four variety of rolls and started off with a Gyoza appetizer which were fried and only contain vegetables which was enjoyable. They then brought out some complementary edamame. This is the first time I’ve tried these it was like similar to eating peanuts but tasty. The salad with the ginger dressing was especially tasty and I look forward to trying that again. I had several rolls as well as sashimi and Nigri. A friend of mine ordered a Korean dish which I could not pronounce but he said it was especially tasty. The sushi rolls were substantial in size so I probably shouldn’t have ordered as many as I did but I did not know what to expect. I thought the service was well above average and they were very accommodating and friendly. Everything I ordered was flavorful with the right amount of spice. I look forward to a return visit in the near future. ”
