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.
