This place is a gem in little Boulder Creek. I am from Hawaii and have had a lot of sushi in my life. This place has great rolls with good variety and delicious signature rolls. I especially love their crunch rolls. It always feels good to support a local business too. We are so lucky to have this in such a small town.

This place was awful! They overstuff their rolls with that fake crab mush, to make it appear as if the rolls are large, but this is just a cheap trick. The actual amount of fresh fish is almost nil. Super thin and tiny slivers of lukewarm, low quality, rubbery fish. Nice try… skimpy at best.
I have no idea why there are so many positive reviews? Do these 5 star reviewers even know what quality sushi looks or tastes like? I guess not? I’m really forced to question these rave reviews…
I also ordered a roll with just tuna and rice, and each piece of roll was so tiny! I don’t even think that it was a full roll? 4 tiny cut pieces? There was barely any fish inside, and it wasn’t fresh. That proves what I’m writing here.
The actual fish wasn’t fresh and was rubbery. If you’re looking for tender, high quality fish, don’t expect it here. They like to focus on their tasteless, fake crab, mushy garbage. That’s what your expensive rolls will mostly contain, and it’s NOT good.
The sushi rice wasn’t made right either. It was just some bland white rice, and not made in the traditional way.
The room has horrible acoustics and is very loud! There weren’t many people in the room. The server pretty much forgot everything, and it all took forever to get.
This entire experience was atrocious. Their prices are also outrageous for the tiny amount of fish that are in or on their rolls.
The owner only interacted with people that she seemed to know, cackling loudly, and over performing her “friendliness”. If you weren’t someone that she knew, you were completely ignored. Very unprofessional.
I won’t be returning. What a complete ripoff, and a completely awful experience.
Stop skimping on your fish…that’s what people are paying for. Well, you would need to get higher quality fish to begin with. That fake crab garbage isn’t supposed to be the main ingredient in sushi rolls! Shame on this place.

Great creekside ambiance. Fresh and flavorful rolls (mango and Highway 35). Owners are low-key, but very friendly. A hidden gem!

One of the cleanest restaurants I have ever seen. Was not expecting to have some of the best sushi I've had without leaving the US. Staff is unbelievably nice and prices are reasonable. An absolute must visit in Boulder Creek.

Food is done right, from the sashimi to the rolls to the tempura. Tae and Amy are so personable and warm. Looking forward to using the outside area in the sunny season!
Kid-friendliness: I see happy families in here all the time. Atmosphere is open and clean.
