    My favorites were the crunchy spicy tuna roll and the specialty roll in the photo (crab stick on the inside, avocado & salmon on top) but I can't remember the name

    Try the Spontaneous Combustion roll. Salmon, shrimp, crab, cream cheese, asparagus, avocado, scallions, alfalfa sprouts and roe wrapped with grouper and baked with spicy mayo

    Great sushi. Fresh, prepared perfectly, in a cool old setting. Everything we had - rolls, nigiri, spring rolls, all unbelievable.

    Come with a big group and order lots to share, it's all great… but be *sure* to order a spontaneous combustion roll.

    Try the Tori yakitori - chicken teriyaki skewers - a glass of Riesling and your set! The tall ceiling makes for a great environment!

    If you want a roll that's fresh and light, choose the Kyoto roll. My husband always gets the Tomahawk steak...

    Yaki tori is a good option for kids as there is no kids menu. They are family friendly although not a family resturaunt.

    The wine list is exceptional (try the Nobilo Sauvingnon Blanc) but if you love spicy sushi, DEFINITELY go for the Volcano Roll

    Tempura Udon was tasteless. I can make udon better in my own kitchen. The tempura was ok too. I would definitely skip the udon if possible.
