They charged me an extra $2 for the tip without my consent. It makes me sad to see other Latin people doing this kind of thing. They also calculate the tip after taxes, which is another way of taking more money from customers. Please be aware of these scam tactics and always check your balances.

Disappointed with the tipping practices (it feels like a scam)!
I left a generous 24% tip based on the subtotal (which is how it should be), but to my surprise, the waiter added an extra $2 without my consent. On top of that, the suggested tip amounts at the bottom of the receipt were incorrectly calculated based on the total amount, not the subtotal, which is misleading.
I contacted the restaurant, and the owner (he said he was the owner, although I think he was the same waiter who attended us) did call to apologize, which I appreciate. However, they didn't resolve the issue, and this kind of practice makes me feel deceived as a customer.
Giving 2 stars instead of 1 just because of the "owner's" apology, but I won't be returning.
For other consumers, be careful and review your transactions after leaving this place!

We love the Double Decker roll. Everything fresh. The service is excellent. I love the Hibachi shrimp dinner with the mushroom soup and fried rice. So yummy. They have a very nice Sauvignon Blanc to pair with the food. Family friendly.

Great value for your money. I always have a great meal here.
This is the best sushi in the Peninsula!!! Latinx owned and operated; the owners give excellent service and their team is phenomenal. Great value for a decent price, it doesn’t get any better than this. Highly recommend the handrolls, sushi selection, and daily specials (always unique and tasty). They let you customize your order, anytime. I support their business 100%. Check this place out on your next trip to Redwood City, you won’t regret it. They even gave us complimentary ice cream!! This place loves their customers

I didn't eat any sushi until I went to this place. Now we go to eat often, the food is 💯 recommended to everyone who is willing to try the best sushi and it doesn't even have a smell, the fish is super fresh and the place is very very clean.
Fresh and delicious. Attentive service. Highly recommend!

Great food, prices are quite reasonable considering current economic conditions. Highly recommend, one if the few places I can still over order without breaking my wallet
Restaurant Review: A Hidden Gem for Japanese Cuisine
This Japanese restaurant has been our family’s favorite dining spot for over three years, and it continues to impress us every time. The value for money is unbeatable, with a wide variety of dishes that are fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Whether it’s sushi, ramen, or bento boxes, the quality is consistently excellent.
The warm and welcoming atmosphere adds to the charm. The chef’s passion for crafting delicious meals is evident, and the staff are always super friendly and attentive. My kids love eating here—it’s one of the few places where they’re always excited to try something new.
We’ve celebrated several family birthdays here, and the experience has always been delightful. It’s also become a favorite for many of our friends after we recommended it to them!
The only thing we wish they had is 火炙壽司 (torched sushi). It would be such a fantastic addition to their already diverse menu. If they added it, it would truly take this place to the next level!
For anyone seeking a cozy, family-friendly Japanese restaurant with excellent food at a great price, this spot is highly recommended.
