This is a small space, ideal for takeout, lunch breaks, and an on the go snack, but boy was it good.  I found it highly rated online and swung by for a quick dinner. There was one woman working and she was incredibly kind and helpful as I debated what I was in the mood for.  Several people came in while I enjoyed my rolls but the line was never overwhelming. If you’re in the Pearl District and want some affordable but high quality sushi, this is your place!

Emily Coleman is a Jersey girl born and raised who caught the outdoor bug upon moving to Vermont to pursue a degree in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies from Green Mountain College. She spent most of her years before college deeply entrenched in the world of competitive cheerleading before discovering a passion for outdoor sports including mountain biking, white water kayaking, bikepacking, backpacking, slacklining, rock climbing, and skiing. Having been surrounded by children her entire life in her mother's daycare, she always had a strong affinity for kids. She moved to the mountains of Jackson Hole after graduating to coach for the local Kayak Club during the summers and nanny in the winters. Becoming a part of the Happy Active Family team felt like the perfect collision of her passion for building strong community bonds and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle.
