    Always great food and very friendly! My fiancé and I come here quite often, it's affordable and quick. The sushi is fresh and their portions are generous.

    I've been here twice & the sushi burritos are delicious. I'd go back JUST for that again and again and again. but the part that sucks is the seemingly only waiter there tries extremely hard to make you laugh, which just turns into awkward and uncomfortable and apparently is 100% okay with asking very odd, personal questions. My partner and I were amazed by the sushi burritos, but service kind of sucks, the waiter's very much off, and they forgot to place part of our order BOTH times we went there. We both got a sushi burrito each & a few sushi rolls to share. Both times they forgot to actually put in our sushi roll orders so we had to have extra wait time do to this mistake. All in all, I'm definitely going back for the food, but not for the service & I'm avoiding the waiter at every turn.

    P.S. Don't get the Philadelphia Roll. Literally it is cream cheese & tuna, which isn't an actual Philadelphia Roll.

    Don't judge a book by its cover. I took one look at the strip mall that we had pulled up to and drew a bunch of false conclusions about what I was walking into. I crossed my fingers and hoped that Yelp wasn't leading me astray. Per usual, Yelp came through. There's good reason why this place is doing well on Yelp! We sat down and examined the menu and I ended up going with a bento box. I was hungry and wanted variety. The Bento box didn't disappoint. You get to build your own bento box with the various, entrees, sides, and sushi rolls. The bento box was great, but I can't wait to come back and try one of their sushi burritos.

    The prices seemed pretty standard, expect to spend an absolute minimum of $10 per person, but more realistically closer to $15. The restaurant was clean and the decor definitely set the tone that you are in a Japanese restaurant. Our server was polite and attentive. The food took a little longer than I would expect, but this place seems to get inundated with delivery orders (through one of the main couriers, I actually think you might be able to order through Yelp if you're nearby!). If you find yourself in Florence, definitely stop by and check this place out!

    Stopped by here for a quick dinner with my daughter. She likes Japanese food, we met the owners I think they are Chinese . The food were delicious, I ordered the fried calamari for starter and my daughter the seaweed salad. The calamari is ok- not the best since it's heavily breaded which is not my personal preference. I want to taste my squid not the breading. The salad was good though. For entree we ordered salmon poke with sushi rice and Oishi roll. Overall, both were delicious, I just want less cream cheese on my roll. And for dessert: it's the highlight of our meal- fried ice cream rolls- strawberry ice cream with blueberries and mango topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. I will definitely come back to this place again.

    So glad we stopped in and tried this we are big fans of hibachi and sushi and this is a quick affordable option.  And it tastes great.   The scallops were very tasty my husband liked the chicken.
