I absolutely love this spot! You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The boba is super fresh and tasty. I’ve tried the chicken bowls—they’re so filling, I got two meals out of one—and the chicken sushi roll is incredible! I could eat here every day and feel great. Everything is so fresh, and the owners are so kind.

This place is so good, I had it 2 days in a row. The inside is immaculately clean. Z prepares the best sushi! Krem is the sweetest, she even recommended how to order in the future so I save more money. Definitely order from here, and if you can, visit inside and say hello!

Food tasted amazing and fresh. Only thing is the size of the wraps was a little miss leading on the menu. I thought it was gonna be bigger in diameter. Overall amazing food and will be back.

We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed our food. However, if the only reason for the four-star rating is that you feel our menu is misleading, we honestly feel we’ve been wronged. You ordered both a sushi roll and a sushi wrap. They are listed right next to each other on our menu at the same price. They contain the same ingredients and are priced the same, the difference is simply the shape and presentation. If the sushi wrap were intended to contain more food, it would be priced accordingly at a higher price. For example, our Sushi Poke Bowl uses the same ingredients but is a larger portion, which is why it has a higher price. We also specifically explained that one order of the sushi wrap includes two smaller wraps. We certainly understand that customers may have different expectations about portion sizes, but we don’t believe it would be reasonable to expect more food from an item simply because it is presented in a different shape when it is made with the same ingredients and sold at the same price.

I'm a regular and I absolutely love coming for lunch here! I've even brought family, friends and coworkers with me. The owners are always so welcoming and friendly. l've tried almost everything on the menu, and there hasn't been a single thing that has disappointed me. I especially love their Tropical and Deluxe Bowls, shrimp tempura, California, spicy tuna rolls and honestly, pretty much all of their rolls! They also have sushi wraps, which are fun to eat and absolutely delicious. Everything I've tried has been consistently fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend giving them a try, you won't be disappointed!

Today was my first time eating here. The customer service was great! I ordered a boba & shrimp tempura rolls. The boba tea was delicious. Definitely would ordered that again. However, the tempura rolls were bland. The only word I can use to describe the rolls is flavorless. I really wanted to like them but I didn’t. I ate two & threw the rest away. Maybe their other rolls are better, but I definitely wouldn’t be reordering those again.

We take that as a good sign, since this is actually the best rating you’ve ever left in a Google review! However, we did even read all of the ingredients to you and specifically explained that the shrimp are steamed, not fried. The crispness comes from the tempura bits, which can give the impression of fried food while still being a lighter option. We're a healthy options restaurant, we prepare clean food with fresh ingredients, so you can actually taste the freshness and the natural flavors of the ingredients themselves, rather than masking them with heavy seasonings or deep frying. We’re always happy to explain our menu and answer questions, but it’s important to pay attention to what is being ordered and explained at the time of ordering. Maybe next time, putting the phone aside for a moment and paying a little more attention could help prevent unnecessary misunderstandings and a disappointing experience - for both you and the business you’re visiting.
