``After moving to Peoria from Detroit/Ann Arbor a year ago we had all but given up on finding decent sushi in this town. We were wrong!

``We eat here on average every two weeks or so. The sashimi is always fresh (I've had some of the best hamachi and maguro ever here in both appearance - it ``looks fresh'' - and taste). There are also some interesting rolls on the menu. Try the Caterpillar Roll; it is incredibly good! We also love the seaweed salad to start the meal.

``I can't comment on the 2005 reviewers' experience but the staff here all seems very concerned with cleanliness and the taste of the food. The sushi chef's English is a little hard to understand for me but a little patience (on both sides I'm sure) gets the job done. It's a bit out of the way in the back corner of the plaza (which I actually consider a benefit), and the decor is slightly dated (but clean), but the food is world class, as good as any I have had in Detroit, New York, Toronto, Chicago or Maui.

``Peoria has a lot of mediocre restaurants but this is not one of them, and for sushi it is by far the best option in town.''

From Ben Shakman (last visit March 2005)

Cleanliness - dining and visible kitchen areas: Dirty.

``This place was such a dump that I walked out without trying the food. It is basically a Chineese restaurant with a small sushi bar. The place reeked of fried foods and the fish just didn't look fresh. I asked the `sushi chef' if they had a few of my favorites and he acted like I was asking for widget. Also, I did not see any of the few patrons in there with sushi on their tables. ''

``Good selection and service. Recommend sashimi with a side of rice as they tend to put too much rice with their sushi pieces.

``Overall very good and affordable.''
