Matsu roll was the best Chu toro roll 9/10 Rockstar 6/10 way too sweet (4th pic hamachi jalapeno 7/10 overpriced for super thin slices of hamachi (second pic) Hamachi sashimi was thick and warm ... (3rd pic) Service was ok and food took forever to come out. Overall would come again for the matsu roll

Every single roll we tried was fresh, creative, and full of flavor. The Matsu roll especially was next-level — beautifully made and insanely delicious. You can tell they put a lot of care into both presentation and taste.

I came in for some sushi and Ana was my waitress, she was able to guide me to which dishes were the right ones for me since I am vegan, she was very sweet and attentive. The roll was delicious and definitely stood out with all the ingredients being fresh and flavorful. I will be back for the yummy food and amazing service.

This has to be one of the most unique and original rolls selections I've seen. And Google will tell you I do A LOT of sushi restaurants. They are pricey, but unique and no rice! I had a fried plantain one and it was great! So was the rainbow roll. It came fast, service was good! I cannot wait to go back and try some other rolls from that specialty menu!

We are visiting Miami for a couple of days and decided to checkout this spot. The food here is AMAZING! We ordered the sushi pizza and Tokyo roll which were both incredibly delicious. Our server was Ana and she was great in recommending these two options for us. Really pleased with the service, quality of food and overall outdoor seating.
