This is an out of the way place, over by the airport and the Ringling Museum, you go through some sketchy areas, but it is worth it. We love sushi and this place delivers every time, it opened up in 2017 and we went opening week and will continue to go every time we are in town.

This is a favorite for Linda and myself, we bring the kids but also go on our own. GREAT appetizers and main dishes, nice outside seating, if there is too long of a wait, there is a couple of restaurants on the same street you can walk to.
