“What a pleasant surprise!!! I was driving from Watsonville back to San Jose and was hit hard with lunch time hunger. I made a last minute decision to exit the 101. I pulled into this shopping center and stumbled upon this restaurant. I had no expectations and was going in completely blind. Upon entering, I was greeted by a very friendly hostess. She said that I could pick anywhere to sit. I almost sat outside in the patio area but instead I elected to sit at the sushi bar so I can watch some sports on the TVs behind the bar. The server was very pleasant and brought me a glass of water and complimentary edamame. I thought to myself: so far so good. I decided on the lunch combo with three entrees. My selections were Tuna Sashimi, Salmon Nigiri and Salmon Teriyaki. Along with an a la cart order for a Salmon skin hand roll. When the food arrived I was surprised at the quality and presentation. The combo was $22 but I paid an extra $6 for the nigiri and sashimi. The salmon hand roll was $10. The meal also included miso soup. Overall everything was excellent and tasted VERY fresh. And for the price the portion was very nice. I highly recommend this place if and when you’re in the Aptos area. Two gigantic thumbs up for this hidden gem.“
“This is my husband's GO TO Sushi spot when he is in Santa Cruz. Finally made it there on our wedding anniversary food spots. Their rolls come out so pretty and the quality is spot on. Service is wonderful even though the place fills up for dinner quickly; service is great!“
“Yum, yum, yum!This spot is in between my sisters house and the beach. It makes for the perfect quick stop with top notch food. There were quite a few choices (even more if you like spicy). Just looking at it, you could tell the ingredients were high quality. Bright colors on the fish. Well prepared. Packaged safely. I got two full rolls and that was plenty for a light lunch. A packet of soy sauce is included in each pack, which was plenty for each roll. They had a small selection of beverages and cure little toys and trinkets. I couldn't resist a cat magnet to hold your keys and a set of chopsticks with a chopstick holder of a cat laying on its back. I was impressed with how clean the store was also.I look forward to heading back in for another treat soon!“
“While visiting Scott's Valley, I came across Rumble Fish. Great menu! And the staff was very attentive. But I'm not sure what to do with the atmosphere. So much potential.The rolls are really good, with fresh fish and ingredients. Portions are dead on! Not too big or small. The albacore Sashimi was delicious!I would definitely recommend this place when you're in the area looking for sushi.“
“As new transplants to Watsonville, it’s been hard to find good, consistent food and we’ve definitely hit the jackpot with Imura. Been here multiple times and it’s always delicious. Even our 8 year old can find something she loves. Definitely will be back and 10/10 recommend.Edited to add, we got the teriyaki chicken bento box and the short rib bento box. My daughter got the kids bento box. We got goyaza (sp?) and California rolls. Also had their miso soup, salad and egg rolls. All fantastic!“
“too much rice. I don't know if it's just when you order the all you can eat, but the sushi pieces were disproportionately large, with way too much rice. same goes for the California roll, disproportionately large and too much rice. it's in all you can eat so they charge you for what you have left on your plate. so they make the sushi difficult to eat ?other than that everything was fine.I can't say anything bad about it really.Kid-friendliness: there is a kids menu if you consider teriyaki beef or teriyaki chicken bento box a kids menu“
“Food tastes GREAT! A little more expensive that Sushi Garden, but I really like the taste here. WE had the tempura combo as an appetizer, and then I had flank steak and a sushi roll. My friends had Donburri and pork Tonkatsu. Not much on ambience or atmosphere, but you come here for the food. Parking in the back sucks - there just is not enough because Ace hardware, Real Thai Restaurant, the Bagelry and laundromat are here also.“
“We've been out of our house for three nights. No power up in Boulder Creek decided decided to stay at the Hilton tonight. Didn't know what we wanted to eat. We wanted sushi. We ate it all of them but we decided to try wasabi went there when they first opened. We got signed up for all you can eat sushi you get three rounds of sushi. All you could possibly ever want. We left with two bags of food. I had to pay for the to go containers which I'm not quite sure what that was all about, but all in all it was $104 so a little bit more for the three of us to eat good time. The waitress was wonderful very accommodating and sweet. Felt really bad. She got kind of bullied by some takeout orders, and we kind of heard about it because the restaurant so small.“
“I started out my night in a fit of discomfort because of a rumbling stomach in turmoil with intense hunger. The feast that awaited me was… astonishing. Rich miso soup with teriyaki salmon that’s was simply put peerless. To finish off the idyllic night we shared green tea tempura with a soft yet robust flavor. At the end of the day this was one of a few restaurants worth every penny and every second of commute.“
“Kaito is such wonderful ramen and sushi. I sure do miss their 41st location but am grateful they found a way to survive the pandemic and moved into the mall. Their ramen is my favorite for a cozy night at home with a movie. I love the spicy miso raman, spicy garlic and black garlic raman. Also their gluten free ramen is not just rice noodles! Its really great!!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free ramen !“
“Great tasting sushi off the main strip of heavy traffic. Franchised perfectly and the taste is consistent from each restaurant. The staff is really friendly. The wait times can amount if you pick a weekend night to eat out, but worth the wait. I recommend the rainbow roll for starters and go from there!“
“Akira ended up being a great local sushi place, highly recommended. The food was fresh and delicious, the service was great, and the location is nice. HIGHLY recommend the spicy edamame appetizer, it's fantastic. Will definitely come back!Parking: Plenty of spaces within the shopping center Akira is located in, easy peasy!“
