    OOO, this place has good sushi. Even though, it is kinda small and if you want a table you may have to wait a little longer but the food is worth it. There are many variety of sushi to choose from. My favorite is the PEAR COMPOTE (dessert). It just melts in your mouth. The price is fairly reasonable too. Definitely will come back!
