Told that of the three sushi restaurants in the area, this was the best, I can see why someone would think so. A little on the noisy side, but the decor was quite nice, the ambiance was very friendly, the food was excellent, and the service was good and attentive. The menu was varied and somewhat extensive.

We had a wondefull evening at the Nikai restaurant. After a short wait we were seated at the Sushi bar.

The sake selection is great. We tried... More

This is another hot spot that requires a reservation. The food was quite good but the service was mediocre.

The sushi was just too mayonnaise-ish for my taste. Masa Sushi and Ignight both have better food. Atmosphere is ok and parking convenient.
