"Great sushi although the portions were small. I also asked for the tempura banana for my free birthday dessert but I requested for the vanilla ice cream to be substituted with green tea ice cream. After twenty minutes of waiting for the dessert, we got a separate green tea scoop and a tempura banana dessert with vanilla ice cream. We were charged for an additional dessert so not very happy about that. We had several different waitresses throughout our service as well which got confusing."

"There are not many restaurants in Tenleytown and this is definitely my favorite, such a neighborhood gem in which can be considered a bad location. Moreover, this is my favorite spot to eat makis within DC. Kudos!"
