"An uplifting sushi chef themed underdog story. "

Heather Sams

"good look at how stupid it is to blindly hold on to traditions and how most things sold as "authentic" aren't. also, if it weren't for LatinX folks, the restaurant industry would collapse"

Robert Wasson

"Nice family movie. I learned a lot about sushi which I love, but veggie only. I like that it shows the inequality of women and men in the workplace due to cultural and other beliefs."

Theresa Torrence Allen

"Good Underdog movie!"

"Being a chef myself and with an affinity for making and eating sushi, I found tears on my cheek! Wtf. Good flick. Something made me wonder if there’s a second one coming? Hmmm "
