    Fabulous experience! I have celiac and it's tough for me to go out for dinner. This place made it easy for me. They were more than accommodating to me. There was another patron there who had celiac and she said she comes regularly and they take good care of her. I highly recommend not only because they were accommodating for my celiac but the food was freakin awesome!

    The service was exceptional. The server was very knowledgeable on the type of sushi of your preference and it feels like a home when you're dining there. Gives this a try, I wouldn't have rave about this place this much if it wasn't good.

    Best sushi in Mechanicsburg! Mechanicsburg has been gifted with such a wonderful hidden Gem. Right in the heart of down town, this restaurant quickly became a locals favorite. The owner and sushi chef is a real deal. He is skilled and a master at his craft. Always top quality sushi and fresh ingredients every time. My favorite is their Tuna Sushi Bowl. The portions of each ingredient is the perfect amount to provide a delicious experience with every bite. The main hostess / waitress is wonderful and alway accommodating. She is true professional with a beautiful smile and a welcoming spirit. I highly recommend coming for Lunch or Dinner and experiencing this cuisine for your self. The prices are very reasonable and the sushi will never disappoint. Dave...
