I'm here again, ordering the same thing cause it was delicious the first time. Show how much I enjoyed it. I ordered togo via Uber Eats, Sushi Omakase Combo, food was ready at the time promised. Service was great. The presentation was beautiful but unfortunately when I was carrying it home, I rolled it a little. All the sushi was fresh and fish selection was amazing. They also included a fried shrimp head from the sweet shrimp. Miso soup was the perfect temperature even from driving home. Best meal I had after a long day at work. I slept happy that day.

Came here for dinner with friends and the quality here is pretty good! For the price, it's not bad at all. I typically like sitting at the bar but since it was 3 of us and we were family styling, we sat at a table. They have a good variety on their menu. We ordered a variety of sushi such as nigiri and rolls. I didn't have high expectations but the quality was pretty fresh with great texture. They have some fancy nigiri like the truffle toro (which was good!). Gonna have to come back to try other stuff but definitely will be back.

Pretty good sushi. Bento box is an amount of food. Like all sushi places, expect to spend about $25-$30 per person to actually get full. Came here with my dad on a Friday night around 8pm before labor day weekend and it was pretty much empty. Each plating is very nice, salmon is great and service is good. Located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking. I got the combo B and a salmon teriyaki. It was just enough food for two. Great place for a date too since the interior is well decorated.

Been here a few times now and I really enjoy the sushi here! The ambience is nice too, I especially love the chairs lol. The servers are all very friendly and attentive. We've ordered like 6 rolls here now and they've all been good. The sushi combo is a good deal. Their salmon belly is also so tasty, very fresh!

First time dining in. I know it's been open for about a year now and curious how it is. Ample space to dine in with comfy chairs and benches. A fairly light lunch crowd. The wait staff came minimally. Took care of the basics and food came rather quickly. I am just party of 1 and I did have to ask for the happy hour menu (which discounts off the regular menu). I got the fresh roll because it had no carbs, thought it would be refreshing on a hot day, and it had assorted sushi inside. There was a creamy sauce over it which made it hard to taste the food. I thought the fish was just okay, nothing to brag about so that's why I gave it 4 stars. Passable for a lunch spot but wouldn't come here for a date.

First time here. Great meal. They gave us complimentary miso soup and water when we were seated. I had the Jessica Alba roll and the lemon salmon roll. Both were great with lots of flavor. The location is clean and the staff were friendly.

Lots of parking, not a long wait, ok service, good food. I wanted to try this place for their bento box and I'm glad I did. For $22-$25, you can get a whole bento box and it is packed with value. Keep in mind this seems Korean owned so the spicy chicken and pork bentos are more like gochujang flavors. I opted for the spicy chicken bento box which came with miso soup, 3 pieces of sushi, 4 pieces of a California roll, fried gyoza, veggie and shrimp tempura, karaage, salad, miso soup, chicken and rice. While the food is like a 7/10, the price makes it a 9/10. It is so much food - it didn't even all fit on the bento! Two people could definitely share this. The reason why it is a 7/10 for taste is because the salad had no dressing, the sweet potato tempura was raw, and the karaage had too much batter. We also got two special rolls and a hand roll which were great. The eel hand roll came out nice and hot which was appreciated. I don't think the sushi is life changing or the freshest you'll ever find but I'd definitely come back for the value!

Fairly new sushi restaurant that opened down on Atlantic nearby ELAC. They have a huge parking lot and is right next to Daiso. Their sushi is pretty solid especially at for their price point. My favorite was their tuna belly sushi, soft shell crab, and uni. Also, the greatest part was that you can get a $10 pitcher. They offer Asahi and Sapporo. Super good deal. I'd come back for some of their sushi and beer pitcher. Service was a bit slow. Looks like there was only one chef working on a Saturday night. They have lots of table so we didn't need to wait for one which is good.
