The prices are much too high for the tiny portions they serve. The food is good, but nothing extraordinary. When we visited, our service was slow and the servers were not polite. I think there are much better sushi/Asian options in town.

Bentos is a cafe that features sushi rolls and bowls. They have a great atmosphere, with inside and outside seating. The pricing is fair, and the sushi is overall pretty good.

They have a good variety of Japanese and other Asian food, the prices are very reasonable and the amount of food they serve is more than enough. Casual atmosphere, good service. And they sell "bubble tea"
