"Amazing fresh food, the fishy cheesy burger and chips is like the best thing ever, but sold out often. Also the waiting time is longer than said, but at least you know your food is made as ordered. Love.... Will always go back for more, never been disappointed by anything I've ordered."

"The server didn't give me what I ordered, and I have a clear voice. What I got wasn't bad, the fish fresh, roll fresh, just very stingy on the sauce which made it dry Very slow turnout of the order"
