Food: Overall are excellent, the ingredients were fresh, and the amount they gave is very generous. The tamago sushi was on the sweeter side, it was still good. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of my uni sushi. The uni I got was not fresh enough, it has a slight metallic taste, but it was not soggy or mushy at all. Service: Servers are very friendly, they explain the menu making sure you understand about the daily special. They check on you periodically, didn't feel like you are being watched. The sushi chefs took the time to introduce every piece of sushi, it is just like taking me back to Japan. Atmosphere: I almost greet to the sculpture that has open arms and a great smile by the entrance 😂😂😂 The interior design is nice and simple, reminds me of Japan. The restaurant was well lit and clean. I'm just happy to see all the sushi chefs were Japanese 🙌🏻
If you're a sushi lover, this place is a gem! Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. We started with the baked roll topped with spicy sauce, which had just the right amount of heat without overwhelming the taste of the fish. The nigiri platter was a highlight--melt-in-your-mouth tuna, perfectly seasoned, and cut to the right thickness. The salmon sushi was buttery, fresh, and some of the best I've had in a while. We also ordered a plate of sashimi, and you could really taste the quality--each slice was fresh, clean, and satisfying. Beyond the food, the service was attentive but not overbearing, and the presentation of each dish made the experience feel a little extra special. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for top-notch sushi with a welcoming vibe. I'll definitely be coming back!
SO TASTY & FRESH! The dishes come out so insanely quickly that we were pretty much done in around 20 minutes. The service is great and they’re constantly cleaning and serving you. This is probably my fave easy sushi spot now. Loved it and can’t wait to go back. They don’t have a liquor license but that’s totally fine by me. I just want my sushi.
Typing this review before I even leave the restaurant …. Best way to describe my experience here is just wow. Some of the best sushi , fresh fish and amazing selection. The vibe and ordering system in place is awesome . Our server Robert was super kind and knowledgeable. Everything ordered was delicious tasty and fresh. Melt in your mouth fish. I will be back!
This is the sushi restaurant featured in the Yakuza games with the statue of the friendly portly gentleman beckoning you inside with outstretched arms! The sushi here was top notch and ordered via an easy-to-use tablet app. The orders were served very quickly, within minutes of ordering, and there were some out-of-ordinary items like Toban dishes (things braised in a nabe pot with a delightful sweet soy sauce, a must try). Everything was super delicious but my favorite had to be the Ama Ebi shrimp sushi, the shrimp were enormous and so succulent, I could have eaten an unholy amount of them. They also specialize in tuna and offer just about every type of tuna imaginable so this will totally be a tuna-enjoyer's heaven. I came at an off-time, at around 2:30 on Saturday (30 minutes before they close at 3pm to re-open at 5pm) and did not have to wait to be seated. The parking can be quite harrowing, but that's LA Koreatown for you. I fervently hope this place opens a branch in Orange County (please! The demand is there!)
