I think the bad reviews this place is receiving is from people that don’t enjoy a simple no frills restaurant. The portions are massive. The biggest portions I’ve ever received at a sushi restaurant for a really good price. The quality is good and it’s a super cute hole in the wall vibe. Loved that you didn’t have to place a reservation!

One of these is supposed to be tuna. I called them up and they’re like we talked to the chef and you’re wrong and I’m like I’m looking with my eyeballs. These are all salmon. I wasn’t gonna rate them because of mediocre sushi, but I’ll definitely rate them for making it seem like I’m the problem. After I posted this I opened the garden salad and they forgot to put dressing on it. So I paid almost 4 dollars for old scraps of lettuce.

Ordered pork katsu don and tuna roll. Pork katsu was overcooked, but the overall flavor was there. Tuna roll was okay. Rice was too chewy and tuna was pretty low quality judging by the taste and the appearance.

What a hidden gem! The staff was kind and efficient. The menu was filled with great entree options, including combo deals which came with the best Miso soup I've had in a while. The food was delicious and I can't wait to go back to try their Udon!

What a quaint little neighborhood restaurant! Huge selections of specialty rolls, plus regular full menu. Sushi was well made and was very creative. My husband is on low carb diet, he really enjoyed the Naruto Roll made with no rice. Diced Tuna, Salmon, Yellowtail, and Avocado were wrapped in cucumber slices, decorated with Flying Fish Roe. I ordered the Sky Roll and never had anything like it. Minced Spicy Salmon was mixed with Tempura crunch to form a square base, Rice and Spicy Tuna were in the middle, topped with Lobster Salad and Red Tobiko, drizzled with eel sauce and spicy mayonnaise sauce. It was delicious!
