  The selection here is incredible. Shrimp Tempura totally scrumptious in the poke bowl format. Ice cream and mochinut if you’re not too full (impossible). A basic cafe/restaurant, order at counter. Reasonable prices. Good food. Highly recommended!

  Very good food, fish very fresh , I got the poke bowl and it was honestly some of the best poke I’ve had in the Athens area, not to mention the lady making my food was very helpful and patient with me getting my order together !! 5 stars!

  Amazing poke (I ordered a bowl and it had huge portions, lots of variety, and fish was good quality). The chef Via is really nice and told us she makes her own sauce (I got the spicy garlic yuzu and ponzu which was unique and had a good mix of spicy and umami). Im definitely full and satisfied and enjoyed chatting with Via! Definitely want more soon.

  This place is awesome! Food is great. The fish is very fresh. The lady that runs a place is so kind. Everything in the restaurant is very clean. I can’t wait to try more things off the menu!

  Overview: Rotten lettuce in sushi bowl, and the 3 employees shrugged and didn't care or accept any responsibility. Dismissed idea of any discount. One said they don't eat raw fish, another said they don't eat lettuce. None of the 3 acknowledged that something was wrong with what was served in the sushi bowl they prepared! 1. There was a lot of rotten mixed lettuce in our poke bowl. (black, rotted slimy) My wife complained, and showed all the rotten pieces she was having to collect on a side napkin. The two women shrugged, and said it came new from the container like that. Did she want a bowl with zero lettuce? Not really. That's not what we wanted and what we paid for. We always get half sushi rice & half salad all the bowl places we like. I repeated that we buy a lot of mixed salad at the grocery, and it often does need some washing/ inspection to remove rotten lettuce pieces or sections. They shrugged. 2. When I asked about the salmon vs. spicy fish, my bowl maker shrugged and said she doesn't eat raw fish. (Do they know enough about sushi?) 3. My wife and I, who frequent many poke & sushi places, were amazed they would not take any responsibility. A 3rd worker comes in to work. We explained to him, confident someone must know it is not acceptable to serve rotten lettuce in a sushi bowl. He said, "Why are you asking me? I just got here. I don't know. I don't eat lettuce." 4. OK These 3 people have not been trained about acceptable food quality, much less sushi, which requires higher standards! 5. Details, this was about 90 minutes after the GA vs Kentucky football game, and we were the only ones in the store. Another family came, heard our ongoing discussion, and left. 6. Overall: pleasant place, and good ingredients and preparation EXCEPT for my wife's with multiple pieces and edges of lettuce that were black, slimy and clearly rotten. With ok lettuce, and better trained employees would be a 4 or 5. 7. Finally, some of the reviews seem possibly fake. Numerous reviews from “people” who have left 1 or 2 reviews. Giving 5,5,5 and Sound like marketing speak.
