“Even after a 4 year hiatus (work relocation) Tajikistan San greeted me at the door tonight with "So good to see you, two chicken bento, extra dressing!". Arigatou's is world class.“

“Place is great. Great customer service. The sushi's are amazing and yes, all you can eat for $40. Place has people conversing and a soccer game showing but best of all is the sushi. Worth visiting. Park from behind 4th street, you'll get a 2 hour limit parking fee for 75 cents and hour. The place has a fair amount of tables. My Pastor referred me and I tried. At first the male waiter didn't recognize me as a customer until I spoke up but the female customer who took over was nicer to me. Didn't charge me for the extra dish I couldn't finish for this one time only but gave her a big tip. Even though some discrimination took place I enjoyed it.“

“Was here on Christmas Eve, and the food, service, and ambience couldn’t have been better. Had clay pot dishes, both beef and tofu, assorted nigiri, Dragon roll - all wonderfully fresh, edamame, a shrimp tempura roll, and sake. We we all delighted. Thanks for adding to a beautiful Christmas Eve!“

“Last night my husband, son and I went for dinner and, hands-down, it was fantastic! The restaurant is stylish and modern, the staff is super friendly and knowledgable and the food is delicious. You MUST try this place!“

“Absolutely one of the best sushi experiences I’ve had. The salmon was incredibly fresh, buttery, and melted in my mouth, especially the salmon nigiri and sashimi. Every piece was beautifully presented and generously cut, showing the quality of the fish. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a great outdoor seating area that made the meal even more enjoyable.

To top it all off, the dessert was amazing, crispy banana tempura paired perfectly with the ice cream and caramel drizzle. From start to finish, everything tasted fresh, looked beautiful, and exceeded expectations. If you’re a salmon lover, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“A friendly and placenta place , I like the variety of dishes to choose .“
