⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ed Smith
Visit #2 and 3: The servers always treat me well. The food and Tea arrive promptly. The Grilled Salmon I highly recommend! I am a fan of the salad with Ginger dressing. The Hibachi Chicken with extra vegetables was absolutely delicious and a lot of it! 😳😋The Fried Rice was excellent and I think they have the best tasting Miso Soup as anywhere I've tried. 😋😋😋😋😋 The Big Bubba Sushi Roll is excellent. I like visiting here to eat. The servers are courteous, polite and prompt. Love this place❤ Visit#1: The The Grilled Salmon was Excellent! The veggies yumm. The Fried rice I thought was a bit oily tasting but the miso soup n salad with ginger dressing were very good. The Rainbow Sushi roll was excellent too. The service was prompt and courteous. If never had sushi before, try a Rainbow Roll because the fish on it doesn't have "fishy" flavor. Add a little soy and wasabi and it's really good! The salmon was so good, if I'm in the neighborhood again, I think I'll drop in. 😋😋😋😋😋

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — David Law
Phenomenal sushi. Not at all what you'd expect from a small town. This level sushi easily rivals Memphis or Nashville.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Sean Fordyce
Amazing sushi and chicken fried rice! We had just about everything and it was delicious, fresh, and inexpensive. The owner chatted with us while he prepared our food. Absolutely wonderful experience. There were even people who drove from Memphis just for the food, saying they can’t find sushi this good in Memphis. You have to try this place but come early as it does get busy.
