Dashi is wonderful! The service was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed everything we ordered too: Omakase Sashimi, Salmon Crispy Rice, Mr. Phuong Special, Pan Fried Gyoza, Caramel Matcha Flan, and Blueberry Panna Cotta.

Delicious, fresh seafood, good service and very helpful servers. They have several fish I had had never seen on a menu so it was a treat to try something new. The specialty rolls are unique. Will be back again, this place is a gem. The matcha flan is inspired.

Such an underrated spot. Surprised there wasn’t a line out the door. Super fresh and high quality fish at an unbeatable price. Salmon kama and chicken katsu curry were also great. I think the only minus was that the potatoes and carrots in the curry needed some more time. Max was our server and he was great. :-)
