This is a take-out ONLY sushi place, no dine-in. Call and order yourself some affordable fresh sushi that won't break the bank but satisfy the craving in the comforts of home.

Amazing freshly made sandwiches to order! Even the vegetarian options are great that you don't mind you're not eating any meat. They also have a variety of dessert and non-sandwich choices.

Great lunch deals, chicken or steak. Or take home an entire roasted chicken deliciously seasoned. I'd order some sides like fried yucca or empanadas if I were you.
