Heather Hale: My favorite sushi place. Try the red tuna lolipop (no idea what its called - gorgeous presentation), the albacore on fried onion strings is ta die 4, yes, spicy tuna on crispy rice, baked crab - yum!
Momica Kelly: Perfect meal is spicy tuna crispy rice, baked crab handroll, albacore with crispy onions and jalapeno yellowtail. YUM.
John Stanforth: Spicy tuna with popcorn shrimp and crispy rice, extra-crispy, are both still amazing. Adding separate popcorn shrimp appetizer was even better. The 4 1/2 roll was good too.

Sydney Williams: Jeremy is fantastic. Get the serrano-mandarin martini, yellowtail with jalapeño, baked crab hand rolls, steak and asparagus and end with the spicy tuna on crispy rice. And you're welcome. So good.
Christine Ngo: It isn't my favorite Japanese fusion restaurant, but it's still very good. Miso broiled black cod, crab hand rolls, spicy tuna on crispy rice and yellowtail sashimi are all great.
Melanie: Rock shrimp, spicy tuna on crispy rice are must haves!
