What a hidden little gem this place is!  I have never heard of the place and frankly would not have even gone to it if I hadn't been craving sushi, happened to pass it and was not in the mood to go all the way to my favorite sushi joint.  But pass it we did and stop in we did.  The place is located next to a bar in a strip center.  When walking in, the ambiance was nice but not romantic.  It was slightly above take out joint but not exactly "sit down and have an intimate conversation".  That's about the worst thing I can say about the place so I'll get it out of the way quickly.

We were seated promptly.  Well, we were the only patrons at that time so that was easy enough to do.  The waitress was friendly and helpful.  She explained their special of $20.00 all you can eat sushi rolls and gave us a list of all the ones available.  We opted for this and both my dinner companion and I had sodas for our drinks.  We ordered our first rolls.  I don't think I have ever ordered rolls that were made right on the spot that took so little time to make.  The sushi chef was good and the service prompt.

All told we got a rainbow roll, California roll, volcano roll and New York roll.  All of the rolls were excellent.  During the time we were eating a few other customers came in.  Unobtrusively observing I could see they were getting the same excellent service we were:  wait staff checked on us frequently but not obnoxiously, friendly, helpful, drink refills without asking.  To think we almost did not stop here!

This is a hidden treasure in Katy and one that should not be passed up.  It is not far from I-10 on Mason Road on the right if coming from I-10.  The price, food and service make this my new favorite place for sushi.  It is not upscale, fine dining but it is perfect for those who simply like quality sushi in a friendly atmosphere.
