Truly, a hidden gem in the central California coastal area. Tucked away in the quaint El Paseo shops area just off Traffic Way. A rare find and worth the drive between SF and LA along the 101. An excellent selection of fresh sashimi and sushi dishes, a bit of kushi-katsu, and a variety of salads. The miso-shiru soup it tasty. Several varieties of draft beer on tap, bottle beer, as well as seasonal sake selections, and of course chu-hai's. Sodas and Ramune for the tee-totalers. The decor is a unique blend of old fishing gear, fantasy steam-punk furnishings, and displays of Japanese knick-knacks, all in a tiny three-table arrangement. This is not a run of the mill Japanese restaurant (as there are many within the vicinity). This is definitely a place for sushi and sashimi aficionados who enjoy high-end, quality foods in a tiny setting.

I had the gift of being treated here by a friend and I have to say that this was an absolute treat. I was looking for good, high-quality sushi and I can say without a doubt that this place has this and more. I will try and remember everything I ate as I did not take pictures sadly. We had the takoyaki, tempura mix (shrimp and veggies), miso soup, eel roll, rainbow roll, and three specials consisting of: bluefin oro, salmon skin roll, and I believe it was a bluefin tenderloin. my friend ordered two kinds of rolls for himself but I cannot remember those nor did I try them. I have to say that I loved every bit of it. The miso soup tasted authentic and the best I have had out here and really in general. The bluefin oro special they had that day was my favorite of everything. The meat melted in your mouth and burst with so much flavor. The nice part is that after eating all these dishes, I did not feel sick like I normally do with sushi. It is prepared very well and you can tell right away. You leave feeling full and not feeling sick or with an upset stomach. It really stands out as an authentic and delicious place to get sushi. Additionally, upon walking in the owners greeted us and welcomed us in. The woman serving us checked in on us and was very kind and humorous. The chef greeted us and chatted with us as well. Both are kind and friendly people. The atmosphere was welcoming inside and inviting on the outside. There is not too much seating to be sure to either get there early or do what we did and make a reservation. I had a wonderful experience here and will definitely come back when I visit the area again.
Parking: There is a place to park located in the back which you can only park at if you are going to one of the restaurants or stores in that section. easy to find.
This is my first-ever restaurant review! I highly recommend for those who want authentic, fresh sushi, from a family who knows and cares. They will explain any dish to you. Small interior, 3 tables for 2, which is nice and quaint.. they will package to go very nicely as well.. walk 2 blocks to the park and sit under a tree in the shade. Check their hours, not open every day. We'll be back for sure!

Nogi and his wife are spectacular and so is the food
Stopped in for the first time (based on the amazing reviews) to get dinner "to go" for "Date Night" at home. It did NOT disappoint!! Outstanding sushi (arguably the best we've ever had), large portions, beautifully packaged by the very nice husband & wife team owners, and reasonably priced! We will definitely be back - maybe even to dine-in since the setting and atmosphere were just as appealing.
