Lunch special, specifically the assorted sashimi and sushi is a rip off. $8 mark up for sushi and sashimi made by the chefs in the kitchen, not sushi bar. Cucumber roll, salmon, tamago, and tuna nigiri? I had to spit out the salmon nigiri. 2 pieces of salmon, tuna, and albacore sashimi? Not worth a $31 lunch special. I don’t want sushi that is prepped in the kitchen where chicken and pork are also prepped.

Definitely a gem fnd in Covina. Quality sashimi. Highly recommended.
1st time here, suprised by the quality. Sushi is very authentic and prices were very reasonable. Definitely worth the visit
This is the best Japanese restaurant around everything's always fresh and very, very tasty
This is a traditional sushi restaurant. Their fish is exceptional and the portion is very generous. I love the seared salmon and the mackerel. But you can't go wrong with any fish there. It's definitely a gem in Covina.
If not one of the best sushi 🍣 bars in Southern California or is the best in Southern California if you are ever in the West Covina San Gabriel Valley area it's a must stop and check it out the owner is so sweet and if the same sushi chefs one of the most premier chefs in the business I consider myself a condasuer now in sushi try the Javier roll and for the begginers in trying sushi go for the lobster roll u won't regret it well it will pinch your wallet u Will definitely enjoy the meat

Absolutely love this Japanese sushi bar for many many years. Sushi always fresh, great quality & price. Teriyaki steak & dynamite lobster roll is delicious. Always get the spicy garlic edamame.

Small space, but big flavors! Doesn't try to be fancy, but the sushi was delicious! And the service was friendly and helpful. Great experience.

The atmosphere is fine—just another traditional, small sushi spot. We were served water promptly, but unfortunately, that was the only thing that went smoothly.
After sitting down for 10 minutes, no one came to take our order, despite the fact that there were three waitresses and it’s a small restaurant. Eventually, I went up to the cashier to place our order myself. Although I was frustrated, I remained understanding, having waited tables myself during my college years.
We then waited an additional 30 minutes, which seemed unusually long. I approached one of the waitresses, who told me that they hadn’t even started our order yet because they process orders on a first-come, first-served basis, and there were four takeout orders ahead of us.
While I respect that every business has its own way of managing things, it would have been appreciated if they had informed us ahead of time that there would be a long wait. We could have decided if we were willing to wait under those circumstances. After waiting 40 minutes, I was understandably upset.
Unfortunately, I never got to try the food, so I can’t comment on its quality, but based on the service, I would rate my experience as 0 out of 10. To make matters worse, the waitress argued that it wasn’t their fault because they were busy—yet I noticed that a party seated after us was already getting their food.
I won’t be returning to this restaurant. If you walk in and see that they are busy, I’d recommend avoiding it—you might end up waiting 40 minutes for food that hasn’t even been started.

Must try restaurant! Usually visit about 3 times a month. Maybe a little more often in the summer. Hideo is a great chef. Everyone is super nice.
