Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally manageable on Sullivan Street before 5pm but difficult during dinner hours.
Dress code: Casual—hoodies, jeans, and student-friendly attire are the norm.
Noise level: Moderate; counter chatter and delivery traffic but still easy to hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes, mainly due to takeout and delivery volume.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; walk right in.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—avocado, cucumber, sweet potato, and mixed-vegetable rolls are always available.
Vegan options: Limited—basic veggie rolls work, but sauces and tempura items may contain egg.
Gluten-free options: Partial—can do simple rolls without soy sauce; no dedicated prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re aiming for casual and low-pressure; the space is simple and geared toward students, not an ambiance-driven date spot.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's all walk-in and turnover is fast, though delivery surges can slow service slightly during peak dinner hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Decently kid-friendly for older children who like rolls; limited space and no high chairs make it less ideal for toddlers.
Best For
Better for: Large-format sushi platters and specialty rolls at the lowest price point in the neighborhood.
Skip if: You want premium fish quality, elevated presentation, or a polished dining environment—opt for Momoya or Blue Ribbon instead.
