Located at 1121 Military Cutoff Rd l, Wilmington, NC 28405, United States, this place feels like an easy go-to whether you are planning a casual lunch, a low-key dinner, or a takeout night at home.

In town on vacation and decided to support local businesses. We opted to sit outside which had a lovely water feature. Our server was prompt with our drinks and taking our orders. The manager even stop by our table to check on us too which was so nice. Hannah, was such a joy and even helped us find more places to eat, upon request. Our sushi, dim sum and desert was flavorful and we must say its some of the best we've tasted. The only thing we'd change is for them to switch out the algae water out of the water feature for clean water.

BOOK THE RESERVATION: this is hands down one of the best sushi restaurants in town. They get fresh fish and seafood weekly. My favorites are the Salmon tempura roll and the Komodo dragon roll. The Chicken ka soy is delicious but it does have a little spice. The owner Chef Lee is the most personable man and will make sure your dinner is going well. WHEN TRYING TO SIT IN THE EVENING: they don’t do same day reservations after five so call before 5PM for a dinner reservation. If you don’t have a reservation on FRI and SAT walk in, put your name on the list and wait for them to call you. BOOKING THE BEST SEATS: For couples: ask for 200, 211, 1+2 at the sushi bar, 3+4 at the sushi bar, 12+13 at the sushi bar, or 201, and 205. For families up to 4: ask for 214, 103/104/105 For families up to 6: ask for 101,102 Yes there are gluten free items and non seafood items Yes children are allowed and they do have highchairs No pets allowed

Went here with my mom cause she recommended it and was pleasantly surprised, the atmosphere was amazing, the people working were all friendly especially our server. She was very friendly & talkative which I enjoyed. She checked on us the perfect amount. The dim sum sampler was delicious, the chicken pad Thai was also very delicious it was also the perfect portion for one. My mom got their salmon bento box and she really enjoyed it, she got her salmon cooked medium well and it was perfect.

We are here a couple nights ago for our back to school celebration. It was our first time and it did not disappoint! Staff was knowledgeable and accommodating to my GF needs and Chef created 6 incredibly delicious GF rolls for us along with a GF dessert and the Mochi. I also had a watermelon sour mocktail that tasted just like a watermelon sour patch kid- soooo yummy! Everything was delicious and had beautiful presentations. Service was efficient and all of the staff were so kind and inviting. Prices were very reasonable, we had 6 rolls, 1 drink, two salads, and one entree and it was $115 before tip. We have absolutely nothing negative to say, we will be back for more!!

Great sushi and atmosphere. Always busy, so be prepared for a short wait. I typically go spur of the moment, so I am unsure if they take reservations or not. For those that are not fond of sushi/sashimi, there many options to choose from. The Vietnamese Ginger Beef, Krispy Korean Chicken Wings and Pork Belly Lo Mein are fantastic. Meat ingredients are top notch - Heritage Farms pork, Organic chicken and beef tenderloin.

Went for my birthday and they were awesome. Ordered all of the Sashimi on the menu fish melted in our mouths. Sake and beer on draft, what more could I ask for.
