  Our first time here-driven by it a hundred times.  
  The food was really very good and so was the service.  
  The shrimp hibachi was excellent.    We will definately  come here again.    Reasonable prices too.

  Pulled off I-75 to grab a bite and found this tiny Japanese restaurant in small yellow building with a hand full of parking spaces. Seated by all non Asian staff my Asian counterparts where instantly scared. For appetizers had the gyoza both fried and steamed and shrimp tempura where great. The sushi rice was a odd choice compared to normal sushi rice but was it was surprisingly good. The soups the miso was not so good but the onion one was fantastic. The salads where fresh and crisp with both the sweet and ginger dressing choices being equally good. The entree's where cooked well and descent portions for pricing. We ordered all three of the deserts and split them nice big shareable portions they where all as good as they look check the pictures. All in all a odd surprise, authentic maybe not, good most definitely.

  I can see why there has not been any reviews of this place.  It is... ok.   Definitely not a great sushi joint.  The rolls are poorly rolled (not enough rice and not tight enough). The fillings are looking like they were about to fall out.  
  
  Keep rolling on.  Dont waste your time here if your looking for decent food.  Especially for the price.

  Went here for lunch! This place is nothing fancy! Free parking is available!
  
  I had the chicken and steak lunch. It came with a salad, veggies and fried rice. My meal was less than $15.
  
  Initially, i thought the meal was a small portion but it definitely fulfilled my appetite. The chicken was better than the steak. I didn't care for the sweet or ginger salad dressing. They give you a bottle of yum sauce, which was a plus for me!
  
  The meal was worth its price.

  Went for our Anniversary yesterday and the food was below standard. I bought the filet and Shrimp asked for medium because I knew filets are a thicker piece of meat it was overdone and the same as my husbands sirloin , the shrimp was overdone and rubbery then the veggies what there was of them were ok but man why so little of them.  Normally I would have leftovers not this time. Will not be going there again.  I will drive to Gainesville for my Japanese fix.
