Really loved this food and the service and friendliness of the entire staff. I was blown away by this place that I just happened to find on open table while looking for a sushi place near by. Everything we ordered was some of the best food I’ve ever had. I’m so happy to have found this place and I will be back , probably weekly :)

The service is great, fast, and the food was amazing. It’s a little more expensive but I love going there when I am in town.

I love their outdoor patio. You can catch the sunset over the ocean while enjoying their heaters. And believe it or not they have happy hour during the week from 5:00 to 6:00 pm. It gets busy so come early.
