The food was terrific! It was a very nice and chill environment. We came and got the Gyu Don beef and some sushi, the prices are MORE than fair , quick service even when it’s busy and a great meal. I got the eel avocado roll and it was exactly what I needed. Also the lemonade tasted like fresh squeezed it was so good. - Iyanna Fairfax
