“ my friend wanted to try this place out - i had never heard of it but i’m happy we did! we each got a ramen and then one plate of sushi to try. i believe the sushi was salmon mango, it had some cream cheese in there and it was a perfect blend of flavours! my only con is that it was only 4 pieces! for 7-8 it is a little much for how many pieces but i was tasty! i got the black garlic ramen and loved it! the broth was flavourful with a generous portion of pork, corn, lettuce, and a whole tamago egg which i wasn’t expecting! it was perfectly runny as well if you think there wasn’t enough ramen, you can order more for an extra charge but my tummy was happy :) would recommend trying and would be interested to try other items on the menu next time! ”

“ Great sushi! Went during lunch and it was pretty busy, but the servers attend to you quickly and are very nice. - Flavour was off the chain...

It was filling and high quality. - We will be going here again, this is now our go-to sushi spot. ”
