This was such a unique and amazing experience! I came with two friends, we sat at the temaki counter and it was the perfect girls night out. Our rolls were so good and I loved that we got to pace ourselves while we ate. We also got the mushroom dip and enjoyed that as well! I absolutely want to come back here with my boyfriend. We were in and out in 40 minutes - so quick! Absolutely worth it.

Strip steak was excellent, but it should be for the price and the portion size. There is no more complementary bread basket – you need to pay $16 for Parker house rolls dessert which was the apple cobbler was missing the whipped cream.
