Great sushi stop in Hickory! The staff are always welcoming and friendly, and their culinary presentation never lacks. If you're a spicy mayo lover, theirs packs a kick as they make it with their chili oil. All in all a wonderful sushi stop and family friendly environment.

We were won over the instant we walked in the door. We were greeted as soon as we arrived, by a very friendly staff. Seated quickly, and had great suggestions by our waitress, who followed up with excellent service. We ordered Sushi!! It was very good!! The flavors worked so well together! This will be a new hometown favorite for us! Highly Recommend!

Love this place, wish it was closer because we would eat here more often! I know it’s not for everyone but the Oven Sushi Rolls are some of my favorite. The one pictured is the Panther (tin foil) and the other is the Justin roll.

Probably the best sushi in Hickory! My daughter got a hibachi entree too and the shrimp tasted very fresh. We'll back soon!

I’m not a sushi person. One of my closest friends turned me on this place a couple months ago.. I ordered The Panther meal with Shrimp broccoli fried rice, and carrots. That was the best sushi meal I’ve ever eaten.. everything I go there I get the same meal.. The atmosphere is very laid back & the waitress are very nice looking and polite. If you are in the area please stop by you won’t be disappointed, if it turns out you don’t like your meal the next meal will be on me..
