Third sushi place went to on New Years Eve. First place had a strange vibe so we left, second was closed… was glad because I really wanted to try this place. Right away it just felt right… the place has a clean, modern, casual no-nonsense setting. No sign in sheet or iPad to make you feel like a number. They just greet you, like how it should be. You got questions? The owner has answers and will happily tell you everything you want to know about the food and where it came from, how it’s made, etc, etc. They just got fresh Bluefin Tuna in from Baja and I don’t know much about Sashimi but decided to splurge a little and it was delicious!!! The fried chicken Karaage is moist and tender… so good, got two orders. The Chicken Katsu Curry, very good. The Salmon and Avocado Roll very good and the YSC Cilantro Roll excellent. Good Saki. Lindsey, our server was a joy. Sorry we didn’t have enough time to come back before leaving California!
I absolutely loved the meal and the employees. I splurged on the Chef’s choice nine piece nigiri plate with a pint of draft Sapporo, and it was delicious. The music was chill and Pop 80’s while not too loud. The sushi was incredibly fantastic, and well worth the price of admission. Chef Steve Seo, made me a very memorable meal.
Hands down some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time. Every piece was incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care by Itamae Steve Seo. The fish melted, the rice was spot-on, and even the simplest rolls tasted elevated. The owner personally came to our table in the end to introduce himself. Service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. You can tell this place takes pride in both the food and the experience. Cozy atmosphere. If you’re even remotely serious about sushi with family and friends.. this place is a must.
I got the Party Rock Roll, and I can confidently say it was one of the best sushi rolls I have ever had! Super fresh and delicious! The service was great, and the restaurant was clean and classy. I will definitely be coming here again soon!
This restaurant is super clean. I had chirashi bowel for $21. There are 8 pieces of sashimi of different fish, one shrimp, a small piece of grilled eel and two egg rolls. The salmon is so good. My friend had the salmon sashimi which is great too. But their restroom floor was sticky.
