Incredibly picky sushi eater. Best sushi in Wilmington, some of the best I’ve ever had. The omakase (not on menu) makes me want to move to Wilmington. 25% of the omakase I haven’t had before (and I’ve had a lot of sushi), and all of it was amazing. Only place with Sapporo on tap in NC. 10/10 will be eating here every time I’m in town.
We LOVE this place. Reservations are a MUST as wait time can get crazy. If we have an opportunity, we love to sit at the bar. Beef & broccoli meal is 👌🏼! Staff is very friendly & attentive. Attire is equivocal to a business casual but in off season a dark pair of jeans, nice blouse (button up for men) are acceptable.
First time in Wilmington and just random picked a Japanese restaurant for lunch. It turned out pretty good, I'd say the bento box was the best out of all. Calamari was nice too but It's too small :D and spicy tuna was my least favorite.
Our server was nice, they're pretty busy by the time we got in, but get all the food quick enough.
This sushi restaurant was highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint! A good combination of signature/special rolls and traditional rolls as well as sashimi. Wonderful selection of incredibly fresh fish from all over the world. Chef Lee is a talented sushi chef and we enjoyed his amazing creations, including the fried wonton filled with homemade chocolate dipped in caramel (wow!). Will definitely return on future trips to the area!
3/16/23: HIGHLY recommend! Ask for Chef Lee! Either you're a local or a tourist visiting Wilmington -- this place is worth checking-out! Ask for Chef Lee's sushi specialties -- HIGH QUALITY sushi!
Super place to go. We enjoyed ourselves. Awesome food!
This place is amazing! My boyfriend and I stopped here on the way home from our mini birthday vacation. We came in shortly after lunch time and the restaurant wasn't busy. The Chef and staff were super friendly and informative. We sat at the bar and Chef Lee did a great job at personalizing our experience and making us feel welcomed. He had several great recommendations and the food really spoke for itself! Not only was the meal gorgeous but also fresh and well-balanced. Chef Lee also offered a small chocolate dessert as a birthday gift. We got the peanut butter and the Thai chili wontons that were a burst of perfectly melty chocolate. I was really impressed by this place and plan come back every time I visit the area. Well done!
Great sushi spot. Arrived at 5pm on a Saturday and sat at the sushi bar. The whole crew could not have been nicer. Loved the Korean Wing starter. The sashimi is the best we have found since moving to NC. From Chutoro , to Salmon, to Hamachi, to Toro. All great. And don't pass up the smores dumpling dessert. Can't wait to come back. Cheers to Chef Lee and his success, place was packed when we left. Definitely snag a reservation as people were waiting early.
Second time here and again we were so impressed by the food and service. The brussel sprouts small plate are outstanding. We got the Painful and the Delicious rolls (same as last time we went) and both were great. Our girls got the Caterpillar and the Dynamite. I was disappointed they didn’t share!
Highly recommend!
So delicious and the staff where very friendly, I got some food suggestions and I'll be eating here for the next month 😄 good variety of different sushi, eel options with is my favorite, and the duck springs rolls are so amazing 👏 😋 👌
Good was very good, Jacob did a great job making our dish. The fish quality is great and very fresh. Great father and son business. Sit at the sushi bar when it's not busy and you'll be able to laugh and talk with the chef. Will definitely be back again.
We visited for 1st time Wednesday night. We had just come from our daughters gymnastics class felt a bit underdressed but was treatwd ao nice greeted friendly and seated promptly for our party of 5. Our waitress was amazing so friendly and recommended some great dishes and dessert. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much, everyone loved it
I tell everyone... this is where you go for the super posh sushi! I took my 15 yr old nephew there and he was floored! It's always the best sushi or anything else on the menu that you've ever eaten. And it's so beautiful inside and out! They have a new little dining patio that's gorgeous. I love to follow their socials because they post the fresh fish they get in! The Delicious roll is my fav... because it's so DELICIOUS! It's just a little higher priced than other places in town, but it's worth every single penny! (Lunch has totally affordable Bento Boxes!)
Theo was great, he turned me onto the miami vice roll to upgrade from my usual shrimp tempura roll - I loved it! Delicious dim sum as well. Will be back!
