Such a cool place! The music was perfect for background, everyone was very friendly and our server was awesome. The food was amazing! We had the popcorn lobster and the tempura calamari for appetizers. Both were delicious and the calamari had a nice kick to it. The sushi itself was lovely. We had the spider, the crazy boy, the lion king roll. Definitely going back soon! And right down the street as well.

This place is unassuming—we stopped here on the way back from camping just cause it was on the way. But I was very pleasantly surprised! The fish was fresh, the portions were huge, and it was all very reasonably priced! They definitely didn’t skimp on the fish either—both their rolls & nigiri had a great fish to rice ratio. I’d definitely come back!

My husband and I stopped in because of hearing good things. We were seated right away and after a few minutes someone was by to take our drink orders. The menu is massive and we tried to try a little bit of each section of it. We got the popcorn lobster for an appetizer, it was good but we don't think it added to the experience. We ordered the Lion King roll, shrimp fried rice, and the 3 item bento special with Gyoza, bulgogi, and California roll. Everything was good, but honestly the rice was the best part of the dinner. Their miso soup and salad was also done well. We would go back because it was a nice small spot and not over crowded. This has nothing to do with the food and I know it is not in the owners control, but there was a very odd/creepy individual at the bar that took away from our experience. He was fairly loud and giving the waitresses a "hard time" but overall we felt he was extremely rude to them. They were very kind and played it off.

We mentioned that we brought my niece here for her birthday and the presentation was amazing. The display was fun and beautiful. The food was good, as was the service. Would visit here again to try more items on the menu. We ordered the caterpillar roll, crazy girl, spicy scallop roll, tuna nigiri, and monkey brains. The only draw back was there was a miscommunication on an ordered item and they had us keep the wrong item and pay for it even though we didn't care for it. (Mackerel nigiri.) I'm just not a mackerel fan in general, and my niece isn't into the raw stuff yet. We had repeated the item we wanted a couple times when asked but the order was not repeated back to us to confirm, so the wrong item was brought. No big deal, just thought it was a little weird.

Love this place! Been here a few times and very grateful it is located close to home. Friendly staff, sushi is delicious, and lots of creative options (especially for sushi rolls).

I was visiting Colorado Springs and I wanted to have some sushi. There was a small sushi place near my daughter’s house so we decided to go there. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted and seated immediately. The waitress was delightful and the ambience was intimate and charming. The establishment had some of the most eclectic music selection I have ever heard in a very long time. Onto the food… the sushi seem to be fresh and there was a good selection to choose from. I only wish there were more sushi selections with spicy options.

The atmosphere is calming, the food was amazing. I had the Daiyo roll and a few pieces of sushi. SO GOOD! The staff was friendly and inviting and QUICK! I highly suggest giving this resturant a try.

Fantastic lunch out with my family yesterday after parent teacher conferences. JUST the way to unwind! We have several gorgeous and flavorful dishes made by the owner and staff. I HAD to capture the beautiful artwork like food before we devoured it! 2nd time here and we will be coming back!!!!
