    There is no bad things i can say about this sushi place. It is my favorite sushi place in all of ATL. Their Lychee martini is light and sweet and all of their apps are so flavorful. Their salmon crunch roll is not heavy as well as the tuna crispy rice.

    This place is amazing! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is really nice. If you go here you have to have Tiffany as your server. She is so kind and has such a great personality! She made sure our waters were always full and always made sure we were taken care of. She is the best!
