Their responsible and ethical sourcing practices carry over into the materials used for the design: weathered metals, textured woods, an oceanic color palette.

    Fresh and flavored sushi. Nice ambience and all items are not too seasoned and too covered with sauce.

    The food was only ok. I ordered a few things that I’m told were best sellers, the crispy rice salmon app and the taro roll, both were really lacking. The crispy rice seemed to have been cooked previously and left to get hard and cold before serving. The taro roll was pretty sad and had an overwhelming flavor of the peppers. I think you could find much better sushi for a better price in the city.
