Great selection of sushi with photos. The Ally roll was delicious. They have a great yum yum sauce for the grilled foods. I like the steak and shrimp.

I ordered a filet and shrimp tepenaki meal to go. It was great the person I ordered with asked was that with fried rice. Of course I just say say yes, was not thrilled that was an additional charge without being told but regardless it was delicious. When I walked in wanting to order to go they hand me a menu. There was no sushi on it. Apparently I was not given the menu with sushi in it once I questioned why they were serving sushi. Unsure why. My wait was twenty minutes I was told and it took them exactly 20 minutes I love a good dependable time! Overall I wish I could have ordered some sushi but everything else was great.
