Delicious food, kind owner who used to be a waiter at the restaurant, someone you root for, and the restaurant is always lovely ambiance-wise.

This restaurant is a favorite among my family members. My favorite things are the avocado rolls and edamame. The miso soup is also up there. Everything is cooked with skill. Even the plates have an interesting shape and size. Everything is so fresh, and the menu is so diversified.

Delicious and fresh sushi! Great location with a parking lot next door. Very cozy but upscale vibe, and service was great. I went for lunch but some of the cocktails looked amazing, so I will have to come back to try them!

An amazing place for sushi in New Haven! We started off with some spicy edamame, tempura spring rolls, and seaweed salad all of which were great appetizers. Their sushi combos were great and filling, and their chicken teriyaki and pork katsu dishes were very generous portions. Staff were very attentive and helpful.

The place was a good interior and gets busy after 6PM on Friday so make sure you make a reservation. I really enjoyed the food here. The lychee martini was strong which was good. I really enjoyed the New Haven roll that I ordered and the weekly special tuna sushi. We also got some appetizers and they were very tasty. My husband got some tempura fish and it was super crispy. I definitely recommend checking out this place.

This place had pretty good tuna tartare-- the fish seemed fresh in the sauces had just the right amount. The ribeye appetizer was a little fatty in some bites, but overall tested good. Their selection of sushi had all the common rolls (California, Philadelphia, Dragon, etc), but nothing unique that separates it apart from other sushi restaurants. I ordered a few of their sushi rolls, and they were just OK. The sushi rice wasn't very flavorful, and the eel slices were more skin than meat. Overall, the food had better appetizers than rolls. The rolls are definitely better than grocery store sushi, but not the best I've ever had... just average. The servers were attentive and the food came out within 15 minutes. This restaurant also has a parking lot two stores away and street parking.

Japanese restaurant with creative specialty rolls right by the orange st promenade. My partner ordered the miso soup which was ok but nothing special. The age tofu was fine as well, pretty standard. The rolls were great - we ordered the New Haven Roll and the Sex on the Beach Roll. Both were delicious! The service was prompt and attentive, and the aesthetics were more modern. The meal itself is a bit pricey for what it's worth. I probably wouldn't come back again - there are cheaper sushi options nearby for when you want good sushi on a budget but also higher quality, more expensive/omakase options just a few blocks away if you want to ball out.

My husband and I both had the chirashi bowls and they were delicious! My brother and I had eaten here once before and it was just as good then. I took one star off because service was just okay. The staff were not rude at all but were not friendly either. I'm not sure if they are understaffed since there were only two staff members on the floor. Ambiance is fine, nothing fancy, nothing too dull.
