What our guests are saying
The best experience I've had at any restaurant in downtown A2. The food was amazing, our server was great and attentive, and the general atmosphere of the place was super chill but also a modern twist on casual dining! I've been to a lot of sushi/poke places and this was hands-down the best

One of the best sushi places in the Ann Arbor area!! I tried it for the first time last week and it did not disappoint. Staff are very professional and the food is super fresh and goood! We got the avocado shrimp & cucumber roll, fireball Roll, and Scotland roll. They all tasted amazing but my fav was the fireball. I highly recommend it if you like spicy.

Jun24 - Well priced, good presentation and tasted great. Will return again. Definitely recommend trying the tonkotsu ramen. Update Oct24: Went back today and the food was still great and the waitresses are delightful. I tried the Shoyu ramen and the gyoza, and the gyoza were fantastic, and the ramen was perfect.
