The bar is inside to the right, and then a couple rooms to eat and has outdoor seating as well. They offer a nice selection of sushi as well as other Asian Dishes. The rolls offered fresh rice and fish. Large tables for larger parties are available. Management was very friendly – try the trout sushi!!!.

This sushi ROCKS!
P.A.O. was a wonderfull experience, friendly staff and a modern atmosphere made this place just right for a younger or older crowd. The sushi was excellent and extensive. thirty some different types. A “must see” if visiting Springfield.
