    Can't stop whenever I'm in town. Good as ever and helpful and attentive host//,wait staff. Crazy new rolls I've never heard of. But delicious. Excellent order taker on phone and pleasant waitstaff at door for curbside pickup. Worth the drive for me. I live in Alexandria

    Been here twice; food always good. Servers make sure to check back after two minutes or two bites ;) Also keep and eye out for empty drinks! The happy hour pricing is right up my ally! This is our fave sushi place in St. Cloud so far! My two children always ask to go back

    Excellent food. Very busy place. Personally, I did not like sushi prior to eating it here. Like everything else, you may surprise yourself by trying a food one more time to see if you like it. Quality was fantastic, taste was fabulous, and satisfaction was fenomenal (Yes, I know it is spelled phenomenal, but I was on a roll). Speaking of roll, the sushi I tried was Spicy Girl. It wasn't really spicy, but it had a great flavor, and the topping was so crunchy. I can't believe I forgot to get a picture of the sushi. Everyone enjoyed their meals. It's definitely a place worth going back to!

    The food here is always great. We especially love the sweet potato roll! It can get busy during happy hour, and there aren't a lot of servers, so we have to wait for our check longer sometimes. Overall we highly recommend.

    Great servers, very attentive to anything we needed. I did not like the miso soup, but it could be the recipe because the tofu was nice and soft, but the (seaweed, kelp, large thick leaves?) was the only thing I could taste. The gyoza was good nothing special, but the sauce was very good. The spring rolls (can't remember what they were called on the menu) were fantastic. The crisp flakeyness and VERY hot and fresh veggies inside was incredible, highly recommend this. The Philly rolls were very good, the spicy yellowtail was fine but not very spicy and the yellowtail wasn't a very prominent flavor. I was surprised how much I liked the special veggie rolls. I wasn't sure about the toasted coconut flakes on top, but it seemed to only add a crunchyness and not the sweetness I expected. The layers of crunchy coconut, soft rice and veggie, then a fried crunchy center was a great texture and very worth the premium price. The veggie rice with yumyum sauce was honestly one of the best things on the table. The creamy sauce and creamy (almost oily? In a very good way) rice was everything I hoped for with that dish. Great ratio of veggies to rice and something I'm going to order again. Finally the tempura cheesecake! Really good. It would've been perfect with a slightly more crispy fried exterior, but otherwise heavenly. The cheesecake itself was velvety and creamy, the crust inside was crunchy but still soft. There was also a little ball of frozen cheesecake in the center, which I think was intentional because it ended up being like fried ice cream. Definitely going here again.
