I had parked to wait and after 20 min I went inside and had to wait at the counter being ignored by the two teenage females that were behind the counter. After I finally got someone's attention and ask about my food, they said it was ready. And I asked if that's normally how long it takes and they just said, depends and kind of shrugged. I thought they were very unprofessional rude and impolite. I will never go to the establishment again!!

I called & l/m 5 days ahead & the owner clearly states what times are available each day that week since they only have 5 tables. The owner called me back within an hour & confirmed our reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner & she immediately wished us a Happy Anniversary & had 2 roses in a vase for us to keep. Very romantic & quiet setting. The Bibb salad with the soy & Yuzu dressing was delicious & so fresh! We had the smoked salmon roll, steamed lobster roll & tuna tataki and all were delicious! This husband & wife team restaurant is a hidden gem (it's tucked in a plaza behind a gas station, so at night, it may be easy to miss!). If you're a sushi lover & will be in Hickory, call in advance & make your reservation! We are already looking forward to our next visit in the spring when our daughter's lacrosse team plays LR!

This was probably the best overall service I've had in a long time. As soon as we arrived the host was pleasant and got us seated quickly. It was late and we needed to speed dine so I gave the waitress our order on the first stop. She guided me toward the tuna tataki starter which was very fresh. From sitting down to full dinner arriving it wasn't more than 15 minutes. She stopped by several times throughout the dinner to make sure we had everything we needed. Everything was solid. No frills but solid size and quality for the price. I very much enjoyed my pho and would definitely order it again. Looking forward to coming back and trying more sushi.
