mentioned by 31% of the guests
The ambience here truly hits the mark, with a good score of 8.3 and customer satisfaction soaring at a good 89.1%!

Many appreciate the charming twinkle lights, comfortable picnic benches, and unique location, making it a super inviting place to hang out.

- AtmosphereAtmosphere:1
- atmosphereAs for the atmosphere, it's outdoor next to a noisy highway interchange
- locationNext to a gas station next to a busy road little hard to see
- tablesThe tables are low wooden picnic tables; not as tall as you'd find in a park.
- wheelchair accessibilityI don't remember any curb-cuts, and there's a gravel path to the trailer where you order. Could be a challenge for mobility.
If youre seeking a lively outdoor spot with great music and a fantastic vibe, this place is definitely worth a visit. However, if youre sensitive to noise or require specific accessibility features, you might want to consider these points before heading over.

Frequently criticized
- food priceToday, March 27th, I ordered a dynamite salad that was usually served in a bigger container, but today it was smaller for the same price. I would recommend that the food price is reflected in the quality and quantity. I hope you can take this feedback in a positive and constructive way.
- overpriced rollsTo make matters worse, I found a bone in my salmon, which was completely disgusting. This was a total waste of my money, and it's evident they don't care about customer satisfaction given the poor quality of their overpriced rolls. I will never be returning and am still irritated about spending my money here.
- priceWAY over priced
- pricesthe prices are INSANE!
- valueWay, way, way too high for what you get
When it comes to value, this spot offers a bit of a gamble. While many praise the reasonable prices and good quality, be wary of certain items that some find significantly overpriced. Its worth trying if youre careful with your order, but you might want to check reviews on specific dishes first.

Sushi Rice Disappointing
My usual experience with the sushi here is okay, it's tasty. However, today the rice felt cold and almost frozen, and it didn't have a good flavor. It tasted like sushi from Sams : (.
