The dragon roll here is fantastic -- lots of tasty eel and good avocados. The rolls are huge and are a really good value. The lunch specials are well priced and tasty as well. Definitely recommend!

Big inexpensive yummy sushi rolls. Not very fancy. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Though it's tough having it so close to fukusuke, I'm so tempted to go back and forth between the two.
