Absolutely love this place so much, The place is clean and they are polite, and the food is so good.
I always get take out but when I've gone to pick up, the ambiance is super nice. The sushi is amazing!
Angie A.
What a fabulous experience! The presentation was beautiful, like a work of art! The sushi was not only top-quality sushi but wonderfully prepared! This is my new Thursday night sushi place. Thank you!
Cathy C.
Awesome food! Terrific menu with something for everyone. Service is fantastic and sushi is always fresh and excellent. Highly recommend the hibachi & tempura dishes. My wife loves the Latin roll and mash-up of Asian and Latin flavors.

After eating sushi all over the world and having been to Japan, this is the best sushi I've ever had, low and behold in Metuchen NJ (who would have figured). The quality of all the food we tried was outstanding. I was really impressed with the great service and extensive menu.
Emily N.
Amazing food. Been here two times and it's worth the 45-minute drive for me every time. Sushi and rice are pretty amazing in this place. I have recommended them to many of my friends.
