I travel for work every week and have to come to the area for the work I perform at nearby Beale AFB. I usually stay at the Residence Inn, however it was booked. I arrived Tuesday March 12th at about 430pm and was lookig for a good meal since I only had breakfast. I found this restaurant after a quick search and found out it was open recently as it was not there last time I visited. I sat at the sushi bar. Ordered hot green tea, my go to to relax me after my flight and drive from Sacramento airport. I then ordered the shashimi appetizer which was blue fin, golden salmon and pepperfin tuna. Excellent presentation and umami. I then ordered the spicy Gyunika ramen. The flavor of the soy broth and thin noodles made my day. The tender short rib and soft boiled egg were fantastic. The entire bowl was amazing. I then ordered the Ankimo, monkfish liver or the foie gras of the sea. The smooth texture, crisp cucumber, roe, and fig made this 5 portion plate well worth it. Dont think of the word liver when ordering and enjoy the plating and fantastic umami. I finished with yuzu cheescake and the soft creamy texture and chocolate was perfect way to end my meal, along with another cup of green tea. I decided that I would be back the next day Wednesday for more. I went back on the next day for dinner again and sat at the bar. This time I ordered the Seared Tuna Tataki, Unagi Don and green tea cheesecake. I again ordered a hot green tea, my go to even at home after a long day. The seared Tuna melts in your mouth and has very good flavor. I enjoyed every bite. I then ordered the Unagi Don, fresh water eel over sushi rice. It was amazing. The eel sauce and bbq eel were perfect and the extra sauce dripping into the rice made it even better. Finishing off with the green tea cheese cake and tea. I checked my schedule and I will be back in June for a week, can't wait to try more on the menu next time I am in town. As someone that travels 80% of every month all over the country and world I typically only eat Asian style foods when travelling; it is lighter , fresher and typically quieter in their restuarants. This is important for someone on the road like me all the time. Fantastic food and customer service.

Ordered the lunch bento box with salmon teriyaki. It was delicious. Service was friendly and swift, and the atmosphere of this place is well put together, welcoming, and intimate.

I asked for 2 rolls at chefs recommendation, I asked for no crab filler and somewhat medium spicy. I got 2 rolls without any spice at all, at $35 for one! $70 for 2 basic rolls was not what I expected. The 2nd roll came out flavorless and bland, did not taste fresh at all. If there was such a price difference, it should have been brought up beforehand.

Right off the bat, the place reeks of cleaning chemicals when you walk in which low key tanked my appetite. I don’t understand all the rave reviews at all, the food was subpar at BEST. The fish didn’t taste fresh in the sushi or on the nagiri plate, it was chewy and rubbery (the worst I’ve had). Would not be going back.

Over price and not good service. We were waiting over an hour. I don't think we want to come back. We have to ask packed to go afterwards. The picture attached cost 28.00 I don't think it worths for that very tiny pieces of fish . You can get a better deal at the supermarket sushi-lol

How is it possible this place got even better after my last visit?! Everything is on point. Very prompt and friendly service. The taste and presentation of the sushi is among the 10 best that I've ever had (and I eat a lot of sushi). I really recommend the Moriawase Sashimi. You won't be disappointed. For an unassuming location in a strip mall this place is top notch sushi!

Food was awesome! The presentation and taste was on point. Worth the price. Staff was nice and attentive. We went as a group of 8 for birthdays. And then I came back with my daughter for her birthday. Both times was a good experience.

I’ve been here five times already and it’s only been open for a few months, so that’s probably the biggest endorsement I can give. The service is always solid: fast and friendly. The sushi is on point and you can see from the pictures that it is quite aesthetically appealing as well!
