“Food was amazing, service was amazing, atmosphere was amazing. Everything about this place was amazing I went here tried some new things like, red bean mochi and squid. The woman who worked there was one of the kindest employees I've ever met, overall a 10/10 would definitely recommend for people trying new places!“

“This was my first visit to BG Robata Sushi and I was impressed with both the food and the kindness of service. The restaurant itself is located in Bayside Bridge Plaza, near the center corner.The interior of the restaurant was open, airy and clean. Very comfortable and welcoming with a traditional sushi restaurant feel (No TVs, or gaudy decorations). Calm jazz and traditional music discreetly filled the air. There's a large comfortable bar, which I chose (though it does not have a footstep, so I used a neighboring chair for this purpose since I'm short). An open area kitchen behind the sushi bar was a pleasant surprise. There was table seating with half-booth style benches against the wall. No true booths though, for those that may be wishing a more secluded eating experience. I actually prefer this though my wife (who was not with me at the time) always prefers booths.I ordered Asahi beer with the sashimi lunch special and a side Japanese bagel roll. The sashimi special (pictured) was quite delightful as they included octopus, conch and crab salad with the traditional tuna, salmon, yellow tail, and escalar. These were bedded on fresh, crisp lettuce and beautifully displayed. It also included soup or salad. I chose the miso soup which came out nicely hot and flavorful. All the sashimi was clearly fresh and well kept.A wonderful eating experience!

Parking: Typical shopping center parking.

Kid-friendliness: Several high chairs were visible.“

“Delicious food! Highly recommend. The restaurant is understated, but the food is outstanding. The sushi rolls did not skimp on the fish and had great flavor. We had the Fantastic Roll, Pink Lady Roll, and the Angry Dragon Roll which were all great. The Hibachi and soba noodles were very good as well, flavorful with perfectly cooked chicken and shrimp.“

“Great sushi. 100% will go again“

“My husband, daughter and I ate at Umai Cafe tonight. We were seated right away. The wait staff is always very nice and attentive. The chicken fried rice was wonderful. My husband and daughter had 601 sushi and the 5 piece sushi which they said was great! We’ve been several times before and each time it’s great. Would definitely recommend!“

“Trust me Charlie is the BEST❤️ you haven’t had sushi until you have had Charlie’s. I have been a loyal customer for many years.“

“This place is absolutely delicious. First of all it’s adorable inside. it was very busy and we sat at the bar. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and kind.We ordered an appetiser of coconut shrimp which was crispy and super hot and fresh and delicious. Then we each ordered two rolls which came to us on these giant dragons. We were not expecting that and the presentation was absolutely amazing.I loved watching everyone else’s plates come out of the sushi bar area because the presentation on each and every plate no matter what was ordered was absolutely impeccable. It was like an absolute work of art.I will definitely be coming back here because of the friendliness the service and the overall atmosphere 10 out of 10!!“

“Wonderful poke bowl. One of the best in its kind. The sauces are amazing, a variety of ingredients are included in the price. Price aren’t abusive but average. I had a full bowl with 3 proteins and it was that tasty that I wanted more. Congrats guys, keep it up and please don’t let prices go crazy.“

“My MIL took us here because she's been before and said it was great . It's very nicely decorated inside and there's outdoor seating . My SO and I were excited to try the takoyaki, he loved it but I wasn't too sold on the textures. The flavors were good though. Delicious sushi and a ton of options as well! We'll likely come again .“

“We decided to give Hot Tuna a try in 2020 during Covid when our go to sushi place had shut down. In four years our EVERY Friday experience has been consistent. Every Friday for four years our food has been nothing short of fresh and delicious. The employees know us, acknowledge us, and make us feel special. You will not be disappointed by giving Hot Tuna a try. They’re consistent across the board. We appreciate the quality of food and service they provide. There aren’t many places you can dine at these days that check all the boxes. Thank you Hot Tuna for our Fridays!“
