Saturdate Night Dinner FOOD: We shared the fried calamari and also had a Flying Dragon which was sushi on fire (literally!). I had a mixed shrimp and vegetable tempura bento while he had the sashimi. EXPERIENCE: The space was tight. Customers might be asked to share a table with people outside of their party. Fun vibe, most especially with the sushi on fire, which seemed to be popular as many tables ordered one as well. . Family friendly. Food was tasty and portions were generous. Staff were nice and attentive.
I went to shimizu for dinner and the line is ok for a Sunday night, almost right away. I tried teriyaki chicken, chicken Karaage, tempura, and flaking sushi roll. Everything is so good! The restaurant also offers stamp collection.
Me and my girlfriend couldn't find a good sushi restaurant and came across this one. Staff was very respectful and customer service was great. It was a great experience and the food had a good taste. My only recommendation to the chefs is more flavor on the sushi. Overall, pretty good.
Incredible service and 5 star food! The Uni was fresh and sashimi had a delicious variety. We came here for the first time to celebrate a birthday dinner and WOW, so impressed! Price was good as well. We will definitely be back with more friends 🤩
I don't consider myself a sushi or seafood connoisseur...but this is the best, most reasonably priced sushi I have had in the bay. Everything was beautiful, fresh, well portioned and delicious. We gorged on more fish than should be possible to eat in one sitting and after extensive reflection...I have no regrets and will return.
