Hailey Caldwell: Seriously the most amazing hand rolls. The scallop and yellowtail are out of this world! Honestly, I'd come here over Sugarfish any day.
Angela Isabel: YES: crab, yellowtail, toro. Pick up the roll with your hands and dip the end in soy sauce if you wish. Finish while nori is still crunchy!
Ranu Rajkarnikar: 6 hand rolls. Iced green tea. Full and happy and bed. Scallop, yellowtail and lobster are all outstanding.

Jessica M.: If you want to transport back to the early 2000s and cozy up to the table next to you, try the yellowtail with jalapeño, crispy rice with spicy tuna, black miso cod, and creamy spicy crab. It works.
JW Cogman: Get the salmon new style, jalapeno yellowtail, fluke tiradito style. Also get the black cod in butter lettuce wraps. Cheaper and better than the regular black cod
Connie Livsey: Lunch bento box, yellowtail & jalapeno, crispy rice with tuna, spicy creamy crab, miso cod wraps

M23: Wonderful food! Really good fusion Japanese over all. Cocktails are to die for. Great option for a date night as well as a casual brunch. Spicy yellow tail Maki was exceptional.

Purplelabnyc: head downstairs for a cool lounge vibe and eat your sushi on a couch. Definitely try the Crispy Lobster Wonton for an appetizer and the Spicy Yellowtail Roll.
New York PR: Try the Big Eye Tuna Tarts and Spicy Yellowtail roll. Skip the spicy tuna, it was very fishy.

Janine wetz: One of my faves. Must try the Raw Yellowtail with sea salt, the imported Burrata and Spaghetti with tomato and basil, delish!
Wei Vayn: Try the Raw Yellowtail - Yellowtail + sea salt + olive oil
Muskan: Best dishes were the yellowtail appetizer and duck fois gras ravioli. If the pistachio cake is on the menu, forget about your carb free diet and indulge. The extra calories will be worth it.
