We were in Columbus for a wedding and found this terrific Japanese restaurant with sushi. We arrived about an hour after they opened and were seated. The waitress gave super suggestions that really rounded out our experience. The sushi and sashimi were very high quality and the presentation of the food was appealing. Great restaurant! Hope they continue their success.

We popped in on a busy Saturday before the start of a Crew match AND a Blue Jackets game. The area was super busy. Nice Tinis, goyza, and rolls. The Tuna was a bit tasteless though. Excellent service.

Right by the parking garage on Vine. I've seen this many times, but always bypassed it for the flavors of the North Market. When my first choice was overflowing, due to a timing mistake on my part, I noticed this nearby. It was half full but I was able to get in and have a seat at the sushi bar. A couple of interesting specials, beautiful fresh seafood on display at the bar, super service. And really good sushi. Best in town? Up there, anyway. I had unagi, a spicy tuna roll, and the Green Castle roll. Unagi was two pieces of nigiri, big tender slices of eel, nice flavor, on perfect rice. Tuna roll wasn't particularly spicy, but it was flavorful, and made with fresh tender fish. Also a good size. The Green Castle is shrimp, scallops, and crab, with loads of sauces and extras. Very tasty, almost too rich. Very good. All beautifully plated, and came out quickly considering how many other patrons there were. I left stuffed, and actually happy with the price. $40 for a lot of good sushi.

This restaurant is a little tucked away but worth a visit. It was a chilly night so I wanted something warm and this meal hit the spot. The miso soup was rich in flavor and the hibachi plate was pretty good although the shrimp were pretty overcooked. The sauce that came with it though was super delicous. I also ordered some eel and sadly by the time it got to me it was quite cold. It seemed like they only had one server for the whole place so the sushi bar got backed up with orders a lot.
