“I would come here again whenever I am in OB and crave for sushi just for the great customer service this place has!”

Wandered in near closing time after a fishing trip at the OB pier. Ordered surf clam, red snapper and a rainbow roll; the sushi was decent though not the best, possibly because it was leftover stock near closing. The host provided standout hospitality, pouring soy sauce and unfolding napkins.
