“ I have wanting to go to this place for a long time. Convincing my husband that the sushi would be good in Norwood was another story so I made him take me for my birthday and I was blow out of the water. I can be a bit of a sushi snob. It's a very nice small restraunt with actually fresh sushi that taste amaizing. The chef makes all the sauces for the hibachi himself. My mother does not like sushi so she got the hibachi shrimp with fried rice. The fried rice was the best I ever tasted. She ate all her shrimp so I didn't taste it but the fact that she ate all her shrimp means it was good. Prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. Great place for a date night or romantic evening with your husband. We will definitely be back. Mia was our waitress and she was very informative about the menu and has the best customer service skills. Everyone was very friendly. Can't say enough good things about this place. ”
“ A top-notch standalone sushi restaurant! Kiersten is the sweetest waitress and an excellent server who always greets you with a friendly smile! She always keeps your drinks filled and makes sure your food comes out perfectly and ensures that your dining experience is unmatched. She is our favorite! Shoutout to Jimmy for the fresh and delicious sushi rolls! The Vegas, Firecracker, & Spicy Crunchy Blue Crab rolls are my go-to’s! (and don’t forget about the sashimi!) ”
“ This is a really cool place and likely the best sushi in the county. Their rice is perfectly cooked and the flavors are spot on. I started with the salad with ginger dressing. The bowl is the ultimate bowl for a salad, but the star was the food. The lettuce and veggies were super cold and crisp. The ginger dressing was really good, probably the best I've had. I also got the fried calamari which was cooked perfectly, not rubbery at all. It had a lovely batter with a great seasoning. I couldn't stop eating it. I got the lunch special which came with two sushi rolls. I got the salmon jalapeno and the spicy crunchy tuna. The spicy crunchy tuna was my favorite for taste. It had the perfect amount of heat. The salmon jalapeno was my favorite for texture. I also got to try my friend's Philadelphia roll which won over all three of them. The taste and texture was top notch. I also tried a taste of my friends hibachi chicken. The rice in that dish is so good. It's sticky and seasoned wonderfully. The sauce with the chicken was very delicious as well and thick so it stuck perfectly to the chicken. The atmosphere was great. Very clean. Super cool bathrooms. And the service was spot on. She always made sure we were full of tea and had what we needed. I'll definitely be back. Next time, the firecracker roll is on my list. ”
“ The best place for Sushi and Japanese in the Norwood area! We eat here frequently and it’s great every time!! The specialties rolls and the hibachi plates are a favorite, but the appetizers like to Caviar aren’t to be over looked. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu! ”
“ Nice and quiet. You wouldn't expect a sushi restaurant rivaling those in Charlotte. And, this one is close to home in Norwood. We go there about once/ week. It is amazing! ”
“ So privileged to be invited to private test night. It was perfect evening with great crowd of supporters. Food was absolutely fantastic. Decor was beautiful. Excellent drink selections. Great servers. Can’t wait to return. ”
“ OMG! This is the best sushi we've ever eaten. We stopped in Norwood to look for a dentist and saw this little place. We got The Matador, Godzilla and crunchy crab. Yum! We ate every bite. Even the ginger was fresh tasting. The waitress, Trista was knowledgeable and friendly. The area surrounding town is just beautiful. We finished off with the fried cheesecake, crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Please do yourself a favor and dine there. You will not be disappointed. ”
