“ Very cool spot, i believe i saw fish? They have a variety of different food, unfortunately the roll i had seemed to be past date on the crawfish so i couldn't finish it but the service was very good and the environment was calming to say the least. ”
“ We have been here quite a few times now and hands down this is the best sushi spot! We love the pyramid and chirashi. That is always a must! The pyramid's combo of tuna, hamachi and salmon with the ponzu, avocado and roe is just a burst of flavors. The chirashi never disappoints. The tamago hands down the best we've had. The variety of different fish from the scallop to the albacore are all great choices. I like to see what's off the menu and slash try at least one thing. This last time I got the salmon belly (forgot to take that pic) and it just melted. The staff there are always so nice, attentive and friendly. ”

“ What can i say, still the best authentic japanese restaurant in town. Thank you to Chef Hiro and staff for taking care of us all the time. The chawanmushi is still hands down one of the best I've had. We even got to sit in the tatami room this time which was more private. It can seat up to 8 which was perfect for our group of 6. Definitely a place to try if you are looking for authentic sushi in Memphis. ”
