Tried this place for the first time, heard good things. 1st off I was very pleased that the staff could answer gluten free questions. They seamed knowledgeable and I felt safe to order. Have a great sushi lunch combo deal. Had the miso soup and spicy tuna and California Roll, with GF soy sauce.
The BF got the Crab Rangoons. Smelled AMAZING, filling flavor delicious little watery. Crunch to filling ratio off but the crunchy part alone was still good.
Overall great experience

I only was delivering for Doordash this evening and have to say that these people are so friendly and their food looks amazing. I was totally jealous of the customers I was delivering to this evening! I will be back for sushi for sure! ❤️

Disappointed with the Spicy Roll Combo. Was just mush wrapped in rice. I have gotten better sushi at Market Basket.

Food is consistently great. Service is awesome! Prices are reasonable. The inside is small but always clean and nice, we hat a toddler so we get a lot of takeout and it's always great.

My friend took his family here for his daughter's graduation celebration and it was my first time there. The food was very good and I loved the vibe and ambulance there. I need to go back.

Absolutely delicious food. Top notch on par with Takumi of South Nashua. The pricing is really great too! Nice, quiet environs at lunch and kind, considerate service. It was a real treat to dine here and I will eat here more often!

This place I have had twice, once as delivery(DoorDash) and once as dine in. Both times it has been great, the fish used for the sashimi seemed to be pretty fresh, wasn't off. They are also accommodating of allergies, and offer gluten free soy sauce. The service was great and the seating comfortable. We were also in and out pretty quickly but we went around 5 on a Saturday, so still pretty early. I would also judge the price as good value, but I am used to California prices on sushi so I might not be the best judge. I plan on returning.

Stopped in late for a quick meal late on a Wednesday. We were greeted quickly and the drinks and amazing Crab Rangoon came out promptly. I got the Strip Hibachi and everything was delicious. There was even a slightly spicy, creamy sauce for the vegetables. So good! My wife had the Chicken Soba which was also delicious. My dish also came with salad and Miso soup, both really good. Lots of nice touches, everything was delicious, and very reasonable prices.

We ordered the lunch special sushi the other day ( 2 rolls for just under 10 dollars) This is the 2nd time we've ordered their sushi rolls for lunch but it just may be the LAST time.. if I told you the rolls were tiny it would be an underestimate of the actual size. What happened??? They weren't doll house sized the first time we ordered them ! If they were we never would have bothered going back !

I had an absolutely outstanding meal with my wife yesterday. Crab Rangoon's were some of the best I've ever had. Yum yum chicken was delicious. Beef bento box was incredibly tender and tasty. Service was great.

Great sushi although some of the rolls are on the smallish side. Rainbow roll is exquisite. The vegetables are fresh and well prepared. I would steer clear of the salmon teriyaki as it was mushy and overcooked and tasted like it had been frozen. In fact after having sampled much of the menu I would say to stick with the sushi and vegetable dishes although the shrimp yaki soba is quite good.

This is mine and my boyfriend's "spot" as being new to town it's very close to home. Staff is awesome food is amazing and drinks are worth paying for. The fresh sushi it always made to order and it's just a very nice little (seems to be family run mostly) kind of place. I generally over time every time we go because I am just so happy with the new little place I've found since moving to town. I tell everyone to go here and try it Out! You definitely will not regret it.

Oh wow! Not expecting much, I took my friend here for his birthday. We used to live in Southern California and were used to a much higher level of sushi than we've been able to find here before. Walking in, it didn't look like much, but it was clean, the atmosphere looked nice with the low lighting and soft music, and we were immediately greeted and seated. We started with an appetizer (Chicago style crab rangoons - still not sure what 'Chicago style' means, but holy crap were these overstuffed and delicious!). And again, being big sushi eaters, we thought we'd try the

I'm impressed!

Craving sushi. Figured we would give it a try...versus driving to Dover. Ordered takeout. Sushi and Sashimi combo, and Yaki Soba.

Truly exceeded expectations!! I'm hooked...I'll be back!

Bullet point review:

-Bartender welcomed us at the table, very friendly
-Nice inside, clean brand new look
-Hanging lights with little designs
-I didn't know a salad and soup were included with my meal, but I got miso since that's what my dining companion got
-Salad delicious, not sure what the dressing was, fresh
-Miso soup came out very hot; I liked it but it wasn't very tasteful
-Japanese soda is sweet, albeit it you have to work for it more than simply twisting a cap; there's instructions on the top
-Bit of a language barrier, but less than another Japanese restaurant I

The fresh fish of the sushi was excellent! The service is also fast and attentive. Only note is to check the descriptions carefully, as some common rolls like the dragon are different here.
Definitely a great addition to the area!
