Food was great! We had some sushi, appetizers and Japanese fried rice. Really good!!! Good music, calm atmosphere and the waiter was nice. Bathrooms are clean but may need a bit of remodeling. Overall good experience.

I've just stumbled upon a sushi haven, and I'm bursting to share! My recent visit was an absolute delight. I ordered the 'Big Bang' roll, and let me tell you, it lived up to its name – an explosion of flavor! The miso soup was equally impressive; the broth was incredibly tasteful, a warm and comforting start. Leo, my dining companion, went for a classic selection: tuna, salmon, and octopus rolls. Each piece was packed with authentic flavors, a testament to the chef's skill and the freshness of the ingredients. If you're searching for a truly yummy and authentic sushi experience, you've found it!

SO GOOD. All you need is The Big Bang roll (on the right side of the video). It’s warm and tastes very similar to dynamite shrimp

Full disclosure i have left five star reviews for this place before. but because I am a creature of habit who does not like branching out, this place has been my go-to for so many years lol. So what am I to do when I get stellar service with delicious sushi and want to leave a review only to find that I can't because I already have a review posted from like a year ago??? No shade to whoever my last review was for, but DANTE is the best and was worth deleting my old review to make this new one lol. Very friendly, welcoming guy and very attentive server! Happy birthday scorpio buddy!

We visited this restaurant for dinner, our second visit (first was take out). The kindness of the staff is unmatched. We have a kid with food allergies, so my husband went early to ask a long list of questions and the gentleman my husband spoke with took time to answer all his questions and look at the menu and items together. We appreciate this so much! Then we ordered and everything came out quickly and tasted so good! We had the crab Rangoons, the tempura, edamame and the pot stickers appetizers. All delicious! For sushi we ordered 4 special rolls (3 uncooked, 1 cooked - can’t remember which) and they were all very good! When we ordered take out from them before we also had a really good experience but wanted to dine in before reviewing. This will definitely be a regular spot for us! Thank you for such a great experience!

Yall, this place is so good, especially for the price. They have happy hour food and drink specials everyday and the service is always amazing. Kim, Donte, and Anthony are always so attentive, knowledgeable, and sweet. The shishito peppers and crab puffs are good. The baked mussels are *chefs kiss* amazing! Volcano roll and garlicky tuna are superb! And lastly they have some of the best spicy ponzu sauce I’ve ever had. (Also the music is really good here so A+++ for atmosphere)
