If you like your sushi deep fried to perfection, this is the place for you! My wife got horribly ill soon after we went, with symptoms that match either food poisoning or the crab in her dish was actually imitation crab (which she is allergic to). Deep fried sushi amuses me, but based on my wife's experience, we won't be back.
Really cool hideaway type location! I am vegetarian and I ordered the wrong type of veggie sushi. It was too seafood tasting to me but they noticed and helped me get a avocado and cucumber roll without seaweed which was delicious. They have soda, beer, tea, apple juice. Yummy! ?Vegetarian options: Just order without seaweed if you do not like a fish or seafood taste. Also no seaweed salad :)

We went here a little after lunchtime and this place was busy. Inside was simply decorated. Every time someone enters, the whole crew happily greets you. It is definitely a welcoming vibe.I placed an order to go, and the 2 ladies there were happy to help.I ordered:1. Teriyaki steak (dinner portion) - The teriyaki steak came with salad and miso soup. They told me the order was a bigger portion, which was perfect for my husband. I'm glad I ordered an extra order of rice, even after they said that the rice was more than enough. Sorry, we are filipino and love our rice, lol. The steak was super tender and flavorful.2. Combo B2 (bul-gogi, beef teriyaki, bbq beef short rib, 3 pcs CA roll, and 2 pcs shrimp tempura) - This was perfect for me. A sampler of all the meats. All the meats were so tender, but all stood out in their own way. They didn't taste like they were marinated all in the same sauce if that makes sense. Each one stood out on their own. I loved it. The shrimp tempura was not the standard one that we all know. This one was light and crunchy. It's not soggy and greasy likeli how the other shrimp tempuras get. I wish I had ordered more rice because the portions were on point.3. Gyoza - This was crispy and crunchy. Almost felt like it was deep fried and not pan-fried like other places. It was also a 2 biter for me, not where you usually pop a whole one in your mouth.4. Spicy tuna roll - To my surprise, it wasn't spicy, but it was flavorful.5. Godzilla roll - I think this is the standard dragon roll. Their dragon roll didn't have shrimp tempura. This was delicious.I highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back. The only bummer was that their credit card machine wasn't working when I went. Had to pay Venmo. Good thing I had Venmo. This place was a little pricy but well worth it.

Sushi kuu was closed so we tried here. Disappointed, atmosphere undesirable, fish less fresh than what we're accustomed to. No need to return.

Once again! The best experience. Wonderful ambience. Came in for a late lunch at 1:30. They close at 1:45 and I felt bad for coming in right before close. They didn't make me feel rushed. when the staff started cleaning the FOH the waitress stopped him so the patrons didn't have to smell pine-sole while eating- so thoughtful!! Service and food was above par. Wish I could come more often.Thank you for always providing an amazing experience.

Perhaps I'm being a bit unfair, but this place has absolutely raised prices by a huge margin post pandemic. Call it inflation, but no longer do I feel I'm getting a quality meal at a quality price.The sushi and rolls are prepared well. Top notch? Far from it. Just solid sushi. Well made. But not special enough. Yet they command $10 for the cheapest 2 piece nigiri.The atmosphere is okay at best. Not your date spot. This is supposed to be your everyday sushi joint for locals. But no longer does it fit the mold.Parking: Parking is behind the restaurant in a shared lot. But lots of stores makes it difficult to find parking.

Small place. Good food. Service is OK. Your typical Japanese restaurant. I used to eat at this place somewhat often. I remember the food really tasted good. Now, it's a little pricey and mediocre, to say the least. Could be better.
Good. Service is fast and very nice. Hush is fresh.The TVs are a bit to much. Everything else is great

Love the people and their sushi. They sometimes have more unique varieties of sushi on their board. Been going their for 15 years. Great atmosphere for a small local Japanese restaurant.

6/1/23:Spider Roll is delicious and tastes as if real crab. Golden Roll (Fried California) is a new GoTo roll for me here, nicely prepared, good presentation. Edamame is the largest portion I've seen to date in a sushi restaurant....and served within minutes. ICE COLD Sapporo served in a frozen mug actually froze some of the beer in the top of my glass, excellent. Only mild complaint is pricing, highest in area, but as long as sushi is top notch, I'll continue to come back. 4.8 Stars (-.2 for pricing).Previous:Great overall experience. Very attentive staff, greeted as I walked in the door (and everyone else as well). Drink and appetizer served within a minute or 2 of walking in the door. Although the Edamame wasn't piping hot, it was warm+ and plentiful, but a couple dollars more than other locations. The beer was served with a frozen mug...unlike most others, and a big plus (helped earn the 5 stars. Since ALL CRAB IS IMITATION HERE, and no choice for substitution, I ordered a smoked salmon roll instead of the traditional California. Only 6 pieces here (instead of typical 8), making each piece more expensive as well. I finished off with a Firecracker roll. It hit the spot, but might continue doing so all evening. Florida sushi restaurants don't know what heat is relative to this roll. Overall great experience, but I do side with Chris Wahl's comments (below) though in regards to price.

A little more expensive than other places but the quality of the fish is better. Very pleasant staff. Small and quaint place. I highly recommend this place over all others.
