Very good! Try the Unagi nigiri, the pieces were larger than most sushi bars. The Karaage chicken portion was also huge! Unfortunately, it is always crowded from when they open to when they close.

This place definitely owns genki in portions and taste. I wish they expanded the restaurant a little, maybe adding order-only tables/seating next to the windows to serve more customers at once.
