They’ve updated their menu recently with some new additions. Seems to be under new ownership. they have some really unusual rolls here... one came with Doritos on top. they have local favorites like crawfish on their rolls. always really delicious and their cocktails are amazing - the chocolate martini especially
This place has been around for a long time in Lafayette- good sushi and vibe. Happy hour deal is great. Some of the sushi options are uniquely Louisianan so it makes for a treat if you are visiting
The downtown was dead, and bars were empty, but this place was popping. Dylan was a little new, but his effort made up for it. Kyla knew her Japanese whiskeys and helped me in the fold. Real talk don't go exotic. Stay mainstream, and you'll have bangers all night. Kanpai!
Braylon and Cole were amazing! Great drinks, great food, and great service…Our visit was awesome. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a peaceful, delicious night out.
Amazing sushi! Some very creative flavors & combinations. Eggplant miso appetizer is hard to beat. Great location, clean, friendly & knowledgeable staff. We've done several sushi rolling classes for customers and these are a ton of fun - their chef staff is entertaining & skilled! Good vibe & atmosphere.
Our go-to place for sushi. The food was amazing as always. The server had great wine recommendations. The plum wine was really good!! The only critique was that, when we arrived, the servers were in a meeting, so it took about 10 minutes to have our initial interaction with our waitress. Suggest to have someone watching for patrons coming in while meetings are happening. Will definitely be back.
The food is good, the atmosphere is nice, and service is good. I don't recommend getting rocked on sake, getting into a heated political discussion, and embarrassing yourself there though. Sorry to all that may have witnessed it!
This place has the most high quality sushi I’ve had in a long time. It’s a little pricey but it is worth the money between the food and drinks there’s not much to be disappointed about. 10/10
Nice place! We got two sushi’s, they were good! The tuna one has many rice for me, but was okay! I’d recommended it.
Excellent restaurant, delicious food, great service. I was very impressed with the menu as it has so many different varieties. User friendly, items are explained with ingredients, and pictures. Presentation was beautiful. Plates were made for good Price VS value. Staff are super nice, helpful and beautiful. Thomas and Maddie were super nice and attentive. Dessert was also delicious. Chocolate cake was balanced and not too sweet. Restrooms were clean and maintained. Design was nice, separate are for bar, second floor and main dining area. Also a Sushi bar area where you can enjoy the chefs making the sushi rolls. In addition to a separate bar area where you can enjoy a drink. Highly recommend this place from date, or any other occasion. Keep up the good work.
