Decided to eat here while visiting Little Tokyo and was blown away by the service, atmosphere, and quality of the food. By far the best sushi I’ve ever had and the employees were extremely courteous and quick. We had a party of 6 people and we all got our food within 7 minutes of ordering.

My favorite spot, love the older ladies energy. She always makes it fun and the service is great. As an anxious person it sucks having to ask for refills and napkins sometimes. Every single time I come here they are on top of it, If they see you need something they ask.

Meh food, ordered two rolls, poke bowl and a tonkatsu ramen. I was rather surprised to find out that my egg was just a hard boiled egg. (Expecting a shoyu egg). Service came quick and the atmosphere was what made me come in.

Went for late lunch, early dinner. Was greeted upon walking in. Very friendly staff. Food came hot and service was excellent. Everything was tasty and really flavorful. Portions were generous. Ordered dessert and was pleasantly surprised by the deep fried cheese cake; warm flaky pastry crust and the cheesecake was not too rich. Highly recommend this place for a less crowded place to eat.

Weird treatment.
We were waiting for our table for a few minutes. I asked the hostess how long it would be. She said 20 to 30 minutes. Sounds fine. I asked her where the restroom was and she waved her finger in my face and told me no no no, I couldn't use their restroom. Because why? She said I wasn't a paying customer because we were still waiting for a table. -Mind you, our name was third of the six names on the wait-list. It's not like I just walked up to the second floor of this mall, and added my name for a table, and then pretended to wait for a table, all just to scam them into letting me use their restroom without eating there.
This isn't a fine dining establishment, I get that, but apparently it's not even mid-tier because they can't afford for someone to expend a bit of toilet water and a bit of soap. What the hell? Who acts like that? She literally just told me it's a 20-30 minute wait for a table - and the idea that she thinks it's okay to deny guests access to the bathroom -- it's weird. It just makes no sense at all to be so hostile to their patrons.
It's unwelcoming.
And it's a self fulfilling prophecy, because of course I'm not going to be treated this way. We walked right out of there. We went up the street to another sushi place and spent a ton of money there.
The hostess said her name was Jennifer. She lost us as customers. We'll never return. The place is mediocre anyway.

Last year I left a review on this restaurant with overall 5 stars. The atmosphere was amazing, the food was delicious, and the service was great, until my last visit. All of the times I have been here, my party and I have always been welcomed warmly and received upstanding service! We typically got the same two servers each time we dine in.
Until our most recent visit back in November, we were attended for the first time by this specific server, and we could have never expected someone so impatient and unprofessional. Not only was he impatient in taking our order, he got half of our order wrong (we were only a party of 4). Gave him the benefit of the doubt, maybe they just had a rush earlier, but looking around there were only three other busy tables. When we tried to ask for utensils, he blatantly ignored us until another waitress swooped in and helped us. We enjoyed our meal, had a good time.
Then when I asked for the bill and some to go containers, our previous server came in, threw the containers in front of me, along with the bill, until everything fell onto my food and lap, and walked away. I was completely flabbergasted, I wasn’t and still am unsure of what I possibly done wrong or made him upset. But overall, I was utterly embarrassed as I brought a family member here for the first time, completely raving to him about how amazing this restaurant is, only for his first experience to turn out like this.
I know this is a rather lengthy review, and I apologize, but I would rather give insight on my last experience with them and be straightforward. I really do love and miss this restaurant, but I probably wouldn’t go back here anytime soon, especially if we were to get that rude server again :/
I tried the egg and shrimp sushi for the first time—it had a texture I wasn’t expecting, but I’m glad I gave it a shot. I don’t often try dishes like that, so it was a nice change with new flavors. The Zencu udon with a California roll was absolutely delicious—great taste all around! The service was welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better. I really enjoyed it.

The unit price is high, but the quantity is small. Mandating a 15% service charge and then asking me for a tip? ? The taste is average, the vinegar rice of sushi is very sour, and extra salt is added. Incomprehensible operations.
