The atmosphere inside is a great homie and warm feeling! Takes me back to Japan in a nostalgic way. ORDER THESE 2 DISHES IF YOU COME:

1. Scallop kiwi - super refreshing and smooth. Great for summer
2. Miso black cod - Amazing flavor with the miso. Super tender fish and great assortment of vegetables with it.

Only knock is the sushi bar was a bit slow to make the sushi, but it was also packed… for a Monday night, which was also impressive in its own right

Plenty of well prepared sushi and sashimi options. The atmosphere is a little cramped and chaotic in our experience but the food is delicious which keeps people coming back (even lining up outside before opening).

Everything was absolutely wonderful—except for the female employee at the register, who was very rude.

Very loud, disruptive people sitting next to us. They had been drinking. A LOT! Their behavior is in no way the fault of the restaurant. But, if it wasn't for them, we would have stayed longer. The food was GREAT! And service was very good. I definitely plan on coming back, though!

Good sushi! Love their blue fin tuna. They have delicious rolls and the service has always been good. There’s a reason the line is out the door when it first opens. Highly recommend!

The food here is very average and not a great value. For the South Bay, sushi chitose is much better quality. The staff was all very nice! But as someone who really likes sushi and has been to Japan, this was disappointing. Location and interior vibe is lovely though

Thinking of sushi? This is worth a stop for sure. Not many cocktails, but the sushi and sides are on point! We enjoyed our time with friends and the quick service! Would return for sure!

Got off the airplane and came straight here! Sushi was soooo good, costumer service was great 👍🏼 it was tight seating but we loved it felt like a scene in a movie where everyone around us was talking but we were just in our own little bubble 🍣

I decided to give it another shot. The sushi is not tasty. I ordered the belly of salmon and hamachi which was supposed to be softer. It was chewy and tasteless. My husband ordered a spicy scallop handroll and it was chopped up scallops in a weird mix.

What can I say? Simply the Best
