The sushi chefs are very nice! Went here for my birthday lunch and was treated very well. The sushi flavor combinations are delicious, and the price is affordable. Would go again. Only thing is, the "Hokkaido milk" ice cream did not taste like Hokkaido milk ice cream - would skip this next time. - Jennifer Chen
