⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Vickie Seacott
The food is fresh and yummy! The house salad w/ginger dressing is one of my favorites, so fresh and delicious. The crab Rangoon is really good and I also like the clear soup. My main course of choice is chicken hibachi with vegetables, it’s always good. They also have some Chinese choices that are really good too! Try it and see!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Rick Proper
Really good shushi. I made the mistake of ordering cashew chicken, and they brought out crispy chicken. My (adult) kids loved their sushi! Atmosphere is crowded, and annoyingly bell kept ringing everytime someone walked in. And they do a lot of carry out!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — andy
So good! I had the pink lady roll and a vegetarian california roll. Others at the table tried the sushi lunch special, the spicy miso pork ramen, and the vegetable tempura lunch. All were rated 5/5 :)
