The service was good. Staff were attentive and great. Food came out fast. But food was meh. I was expecting a little bit big for the crèmes brule.
The food was incredible, the service was amazing, and they have one of the largest Sake selections I’ve seen at a local restaurant.
Great sushi but such small portions for the amount you pay for. Trust, the photos are enlarged
This is a great place the plates are empty because there was no time to take pictures because the food is too good.
Great food, and great Japanese family that runs it. The Jalapeño Tuna Roll and Crispy Rice are very good. Servers are excellent. Easy parking
My family and I decided to try this new sushi place and we absolutely loved it! The service was so great and accommodating. We ordered the miso, edamame, miso, and crispy rice. All so great to start with and for entrees we ordered the hamachi jalapeño roll and we loved it so much and our waitress gave us a complimentary hamachi hand roll and crème brûlées to take home how sweet (: definitely will come back and recommend friends and family
This place is one of the best sushi’s in SD. Service is amazing and the sushi was fresh.
Sashimi was delicious! Tea was great. Place is cute. Service was attentive and friendly.
The Tanuki Roll is my absolute favorite. The sushi quality is top tier here. JP is an amazing person who assisted us with our order and we can’t wait to come back and try all your recommendations.
Great service and awesome sharable plates. Chill ambiance too.

Nice atmosphere, great food, friendly staff! For sure my favorite sushi place all along Adams.
I stumbled upon this place a few years ago and fell in love! For a while I was going every week to sit at the bar and enjoy some sushi and wine after a long shift. I was going so much to the point the owner recognized me and knew my order lol. The owner is the absolute sweetest, the staff is very welcoming and sweet, and the food is amazing and fresh. I rave about this place to everyone I know. The restaurant itself is pretty small with a couple tables and bar seating. There is additional seating outside that’s covered. Parking available in the residential area and about 5 spots in the lot directly in-front of the restaurant. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area.
Food review:
Karaage: (5/5) The chicken has amazing texture, it’s juicy, and flavorful. The spicy mayo and squeeze of lemon are a bomb dipping combo. I get this every time I come.
Spicy tuna roll: (5/5) Great size roll, fish tastes fresh, not too spicy, and overall each bite is well balanced. Simple roll, but absolutely delicious. Definitely a staple for me.
Salmon nigiri: (5/5) The salmon melts in your mouth, it was so damn good. Little rice heavy, but I enjoyed every bite!
Sake: They have an extensive menu of sake and the staff is well/versed in describing and recommending the best based on your palette. It’s worth a try if you like sake!
Desserts: I didn’t get it today because I was very full…but they have eclairs (that are sold Fridays and Saturdays? If I’m not mistaken) and they also have crème brûlée and matcha cheesecake! yummy!
