I am flabbergasted by all the 4 and 5 stars reviews of this restaurant. It was outrageously expensive for the type of dinner and location. I ordered dinner with filet mignon to be cooked medium, and I got a piece of overcooked chopped up steak. The server even confirmed that he put in medium well. How could medium become medium well? Don't they listen to the customers? They replaced it with a better cooked piece but it is no filet mignon. For a $43 dish, they served everything on a plate without any presentation, like having dinner at home. Diner be forewarned. I won't be going back.

The food was disappointing and did not resemble the pictures at all. The noodles were overly salty, the meat lacked flavor, and the sushi was basic, with thinly cut slices.

Super friendly service. The crab is imitation crab (I'm not a big fan of and wish they mentioned it in their menu).
We ordered the rainbow roll, Philadelphia crunch, Phoenix roll, Unagi, and Wanci. We got the Wanci (said it came with soup or salad, but we never received the soup). The rolls were good, the most delicious was the Phoenix roll. The unagi was just okay would probably not order again based on the texture.
I don't think we'd come here for the sushi rolls again, but seems like the hibachi plates are their focus. Perhaps next time we will try that.

Food was prepared quickly and tasty. Nigiri had a bit too much rice and the wasabi/horseradish was a bit moist.
Location is a bit hard to find - it's in the path next to the 99 Ranch.

Not the best sushi I have ever had. Didn’t try the hibachi, maybe that is better.

We went to this halal hibachi place and we felt it was okay, not so great that we expected it to be they don't have live hibachi at their place... We only liked the chicken teriyaki Sushi rolls

ordered three items for to go:
two different sushi items were crammed into one box.
found no utensil or napkins inside my order after I got home.
none of the items tasted well. Certainly far below my expectation for a 4.5 star restaurant.

We were looking for a halal sushi place during our visit to the Bay Area and we discovered this amazing place. The atmosphere was nice even though we didn’t dine in.
The service and hospitality was great; the folks taking the order were very polite and patient. Gave us all the time we needed to think and decide on our order without showing any sign of irritation (which is very common in many restaurants). They also have a one time offer of 10% off if you order via the Chownow app which was great.
Finally, the food was amazing and delicious ??. We were very happy to have this halal sushi option and would definitely visit them the next time we are in the Bay Area.
Dietary restrictions: They explicitly advertise as halal and serve everything halal which is great!!!

The rice in the sushi was so overcooked and mushy. Just no. Sorry this restaurant is definitely a pass.

Great taste. It is extremely difficult to fine halal sushi without mirin and halal japanese food in the US. They should open one in north Dallas.

The food was fire but asked for the fried rice instead of the steamed but even then the steak was out of this world especially for halal would highly recommend.

Not sure how can this restaurant get 4.6 stars. Food is not good, service not good. Sushi rices taste like left over, eel doesn’t have any tastes at all, for the dragon roll, they didn’t put on the top, instead, they put inside of the roll, and super small pieces and no tasty. Volcano roll is a disaster, tastes like deep Fry of the expired flour. :-/ I would never come back again. It’s horrible. Also it costs $5 extra for the tea..
