I've lived on the east and west coast (LA specifically) and Ken has the BEST sushi I have ever had! And yes, we know the owner and his name. That's how kind and awesome these guys are. Go only a couple times and they'll recognize you.

BBQ in Upstate NY?!? YES! They have a wide ranged menu with fantastic specials every week. Even better, you might see me because I work there! I'm not glazing because of that though I'm just an expo lol

I'm not proud of the fact that they know me and my order just by looking at me… But I loooove onigiri and this is the only place around that I know that has it. It's also very delicious. They also have really good boba and obviously poke and ramen.
