    This was the best sushi experience I’ve had so far in Washington, it definitely is Michelin star quality sushi, plating, and service from the staff. The sake selection is good. I would highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar and talking with the sushi chefs. It is a perfect higher end date night restaurant that Bonney lake needed. Will be going again
