A very cozy spot to hang out with friends, take on a date or just treating yourself. Service was super friendly and quick to answer questions. I had the Colorado roll and the beef bento box. Both were absolutely delicious!

Looks like a hole in the wall from the outside and I honestly never gave it much thought, which was a big mistake because this place is amazing! I think the most unique thing about this restaurant is the sushi. They have so many different types...there is a sushi named after every state, even some from other countries. They also have bento bowls and other foods as well. I got the New Jersey sushi because it was one of the few vegan options and I loved it. Lots of avocado and a delicious fried spring roll (?) in the center. Huge portion for the price! Andrew, my server, was very nice and had a great personality. Definitely check this place out next time you're having a sushi craving!

I went a little crazy ordering the food but it was worth every penny. This is my repeat go to in Colorado Springs and it's conveniently located downtown. I was told they have been there for many years and I can see why.

This restaurant had some wacky ingredients in some of their rolls that represent the 50 states. I ordered the Virginia roll, which had soft shell crab, spicy tuna, avocado, and salmon -- it tasted great, except I wished it was not presented as a large circular roll as it was, which made it difficult and impractical to eat. It was a challenge to pick up the thin but large roll and dip it into my soy sauce without it falling apart. I also ordered the udon noods in fish broth with fried tofu -- though the broth was good, the noodles were TOO soft and SOGGY. Udon noods have a nice, slight chew to it. These did not as they were overcooked. Ambiance could use a little help -- very drab and dark inside. It looked tired. Perhaps a splash of paint and some bonzai tree plants would freshen up the place.

I was hesitant to try this place for several reasons. Initially, the menu is very very large. It also included sushi for all 52 states which was odd. The entrance and front of restaurant was very cheesy. Upon entering I would agree with other reviews about needing to spruce up the place. We were greeted by a nice young gentleman and it appeared that the 3 of us were the only people there on a Saturday at 5:30 pm., including the server. The sushi bar was not an option nor conducive for seating as they took two chairs and spaced them on each end. We sat at a table of our choice and our drink order was taken. They had excellent Sake however they only had one white and red wine selection and the white wine was not very good. I ended up trying my husbands Sake and actually preferred it. For once a Sake that did not smell like old socks! Our server was Andrew, a quirky, wiry young man who enjoyed his job. He was very attentive and descriptive about the menu. We started with Edamame and the a Kansas roll and Eel Nigiri. While waiting, Andrew asked if we'd like a complimentary bowl of Miso soup. The thought was nice but the soup was average in flavor. The Kansas roll had large serving of tuna coupled with salmon which I found generous. The eel was served warm and delicious. (The sushi chef appeared from the back somewhere to make these. ) We added more Eel and a crunch roll and found it to be delicious. The bill was not overly expensive and the food was great, service was exceptional and the decor needed a refresh.

The food was SUPERB, the service fantastic and calm, and the environment super peaceful. I I loved that the music play QUIETLY so we could visit and actually hear one another. We truly enjoyed this place and will surely be back! Well done!

We picked up a to go order (Arizona Rolls and chicken Yakisoba noodles) and the food was AWESOME 10/10. The service was GREAT too. The only complaint I have is that we paid for extra white sauce (spicy Mayo whatever you want to call it) and they absolutely hyped on the sauce. Pics included.

What's not to love about this place? We've been coming here for years but tonight was exceptional service and the food was perfect. We made a reservation for our party of six and our places were set when we walked in. Our server was so pleasant and attentive. The cheery sushi chef and owner welcomes everyone from behind the sushi bar as they enter. There's a flare and casual charm to the space that leaves no wonder that this local business has thrived for so long. We ordered seven different rolls, some specialty, some traditional and a variety of hot appetizers. Everything was perfectly timed and the server kept the table surface cleared so it was easy for everyone to reach for what they wanted. There are many vegetarian options which is a major win. We've always been happy patrons, but tonight called for a 5 star review.

Great little spot for some big-time flavors!Service was uber-friendly.Variety of choices were superb.Value was pretty decent.Location is downtown and convenient. You'll want to stop by here and give it a go.The menu is based on the 50 states so there's lots to study and figure out which roll best fits your palette. The server helped us figure it out.
