Came to Virginia Beach for vacation and did not regret giving this place a try! The interior is very pretty and clean and the food was amazing! Their rolls were absolutely delicious and the sashimi served tasted very fresh. All the other food, appetizers, and Hibachi dishes we ordered didn’t miss either(especially the fried rice paired with the yum yum sauce). Definitely one of the best sushi restaurants I’ve ever been to and had to come back several times during our stay here!

I loved everything about this restaurant. The food was nice and fresh, each sushi roll and sashimi piece cut with precision and skill. The waitresses were very considerate and the atmosphere was super cozy!

Whenever we're visiting Virginia Beach, we make a point to stop at our favorite sushi restaurant. We always forget to take pictures of all the food because it's soooo good. Everything is always fresh and delicious!

Best little find. Cozy little restaurant. Servers were great and fast. Food was yum and delivered fast. The sashimi was HUGE. Definitely 10/10

First time trying this sushi bar. It’s a cute, cozy, and quiet dine. I was greeted immediately, seated, waited, and served so quickly. I ordered the Spicy Beach Roll. A very tender-type fish meat blend with sweet notes. I also ordered hot jasmine tea to drink. Overall lovely, intimate experience
