"I have lived in the Millcreek area for the last 5 years, however, I had never stopped by at this restaurant. I had driven by it so many times and figured I should finally try it. Right when I walked in, I was already enamored by the decor and the set up of the restaurant. The decor in the waiting area is almost like a section out of a museum. There are painting and masks on the walls. It's so interesting to look at and it makes the place look authentic. You get a glimpse of the set up of the restaurant from the waiting room and it is set up like a very authentic Japanese establishment. There are rooms where you can SIT ON THE FLOOR AND EAT ON A CUSHION AROUND A LOW TABLE like Japanese people did back in the day. Each table is sectioned off with authentic wood dividers with wooden lights and hanging sphere lights. I love the touches of the place! The food was delicious as well. There are not many sushi options as it seems more like a dish and side dishes type of place rather than a sushi house. I ordered the breaded pork combo dish that came with tempura, salad, and soup. I had no complaints with it! There was a good amount of food for the price of the combo. I also tried the Smart Roll. I did not realize the salmon was cooked in the roll until I received it. I was wanting a raw fish roll, but that was my mistake, I probably did not read the menu diligently enough. The roll was still delicious and I enjoyed it. A note though: It was stuffed with an abnormal amount of rice, so the ratio between things in the sushi roll and the amount of rice did not match up... There was a lot more rice. This place is a very cute place to come with a date or for an intimate get together with friends! I suggest getting a rice plate rather than sushi at this place. You get more bang for your buck that way and I think the dishes are better anyways!"

"Umm. Wow. Open since the 70’s, family owned and operated. Every detail about this place is cool. The food is perfect. I love this place."

"Oh my goodness, this place was great! Best sushi we’ve had in a while. Parking was easy, didn’t need a reservation, seemed really clean. The service was great, too, and everything was quick, but cooked great. Chicken was super tender. Sake was strong but easy to drink. Definitely recommend trying this place if you haven’t!"

"Loved this place. It just shot toward the top of my list of favorite restaurants. The food was delicious and served beautifully, the atmosphere was comfortable and calming, and the service was great. Nicole (our server) was more than happy to talk about the restaurant and give recommendations. We'll definitely be visiting again soon!"

"We've eaten here twice now, and really enjoyed the experience both times. They even adapted a roll for us that wasn't on their menu. I enjoy the sushi quite a bit more than their other dishes, and the seaweed salad was far spicier than I was expecting, but still had a nice flavor. 5 stars for sushi, 3 stars for other food, 5 for ambiance."
