    As always, the food is just phenomenal. Service was excellent. The rolls (vegan) are pricy, but well worth it. Wish the place was a little more fancy inside, but, all in all, still no worries, because the rolls are so darn good. Keep up the good work!

    Delicious experience of vegan sushi and other veg or vegan items that make your mouth water and your tastebuds celebrate, craving more and more! The service staff is friendly and helpful and really seem happy, which also makes the experience a great one! Will be back soon!

    The vegan sushi here is amazing! Also the vegan ramen is excellent! Both were probably the best vegan adaptations of sushi and ramen I’ve ever had!

    This was our first time, and it came highly recommended from friends. My partner and I had our valentines date there and enjoyed the food and experience. However, there was a miscommunication with our server that resulted in only getting served half of what we thought we ordered. Once we notified the staff of the issue they quickly brought us the other half of the food, though this time it was the wrong dish. All that said the food was unique and delicious. We chalked up the errors to Valentine’s Day rush. We certainly will be returning.
