    My boyfriend and I started going here about a year ago and we kept going back because of the Bluefin Tuna Tartar. Recently, we had the Volcano Salmon Oshizushi and absolutely loved it so that’s another item we will no doubt order every time Bf even said he liked it more than the oshi we had at one of our favorite sushi places in Richmond - and you know how good the places are in the Vancouver area. Would love to go back for their oyster happy hour soon!

    I’m passionate about the smoky hamachi sashimi and strongly recommend trying them if you’re here! This is great place for sushi with great atmosphere and amazing staff. I've went here a number of times and every time they were super friendly and polite. The sushi is fresh with no fishy after taste. Their lobster set are so flavorful and neatly presented in a wooden stand. One of my favorite places in my TOGO list and reasonable price with good quality. Highly recommend this place with two thumbs up

    Highly recommended. Definitely my regular spot! 1 fresh oysters daily during Happy Hour... can't go wrong. Uni should only be purchased the same day it arrives. Their pricing is best after 3pm. Lunch time I find it expensive & the menu is too simple and basic. The best stuff is offered after lunch. Apparently because they have limited kitchen staff at lunch and busy crowd.

    Stopped in for a spur of the moment quick bite during a walk with my grandmother and young kids, and it was a great experience. The hostess and server were very attentive with everything, dishes were cleared quickly, we were checked on sufficiently and just had water today but it was always filled. The food was fresh and great quality. They also had a special on for oysters today that I didn’t take advantage of but a fantastic price for it for sure. It is definitely good prices overall on their menu compared to the menu items and quality. It’s a cool and delicious downtown restaurant right near so many things to see and do otherwise with good service. If you have kids bring something for them to stay occupied as they don’t have that here. It was still great though.
