Absolutely the smallest place you can imagine. 90% kitchen for the owner (?) to work in. A tiny bench, no ventilation inside. No indoor/outdoor dining...
But this place is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD!!!
Great sushi!!!
Excellent price, due to little overhead costs!!!
Get your food and enjoy it wherever you want, probably not inside though.
The slices of salmon are excellent!!! Fat and thick!!!
Eel is excellent!!!
It is recommended you order ahead, he is a solo team and is hard at work in the kitchen!!!
The only thing I wished for is some kind of chicken bowl. He already has the rice, he just needs to toss some chicken into a pan...but I understand he specializes in sushi and doesn't want added complexity to his operation.
I highly recommend this place!!!

Wow! I greatly enjoyed the california roll and salmon/spicy tuna bowl. What impressed me were the flavors and textures of each dish. The unagi did not contain any pokey bones and was good. Miso soup was a lovely unexpected treat. I’ll likely order some at my next visit. I’m so impressed I’m going to bring a tray order to work. I saw in previous pics they offered soup noodles, I would like to try it out if it’s available.

Great sushi! Take-out only, order with plenty of time in advance as the place is run by 1 person! Sweet Japanese sushi chef worth supporting.

Japanese food for take-out only. It is best to call to order ahead and pick up by the arranged time.Need to be patient as it's run by literally one-person for everything. Food tastes great, and prices are reasonable. I'm happy to support this local business and can totally appreciate the owner's grind and perseverance.Check out the new expanded menu, including new lunch deals ?

Fantastic! Always Fresh -- each order is made to order for your pick-up time. Remember this isn't a restaurant per se,you call or visit to schedule a pick-up time based on what's available. They don't have premade sushi - always fresh to your order.

Went into store right at opening minutes and did a walk-in order for salmon sashimi bowl and an 8-pc California roll. Noticed that I was the 4th order for the day and was given a wait time of 30 minutes. Phone was also constantly ringing.Nonetheless, food was delicious, portions were generous, and price was affordable for the quality. Expect a wait time of 30 minutes to 1 hour, maybe a bit more. Give some grace as it is just a one-person operation.Happy eating! ?
I stopped by for lunch and thought I’d try this place out. I was greeted with “just to let you know your order will take long” ooookay, I just want a chicken bowl and California rolls. Cashier checked with kitchen and said it would take 35 minutes. Really? 35 minutes for a walk in customer? Beat it. Is this a Beverly Hills restaurant or something exclusive. Please. Never stopping here again. Sorry for walking in and bothering you with my business. Practice some customer service. Takes less than 35 minutes.
Not sure what it is about this place but their pricing and extras aren't consistentI've ordered multiple times and their prices will be different from the time i order over the phone to the time i pick up?????I ask what happened and they say the price just changed?I like to order more ginger especially for a platter. There's 40 PCs of sushi and sometimes I'll get extra ginger at no charge and sometimes I'll get charged for it?The food itself is decent but their shady services and practices is just uncalled for.
Big portions. Four stars because cashier was lacking knowledge of the menu.
