Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? It works for a casual, fun first date but isn’t ideal if you want intimacy — it’s lively, bright, and group-heavy, which can make deeper conversation tougher.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — walk-ins are the norm. Expect a short queue during prime evenings, especially for parties of four or more.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — families often come early in the evening. The menu is approachable, though the room can get loud during peak hours.
Best For
Better for: Large, colorful specialty rolls at wallet-friendly prices, generous portions, and late-night availability.
Skip if: You want high-end sashimi, quieter ambiance, or more refined, traditional sushi craftsmanship.
