Been coming for over 7 years now.. it's still the best sushi spot in town. With a rotating special and chefs ready to make you something creative, this place has something for everyone. Oh, and the cooked food is just as good as the sushi - try the Asian Brussels!
Pictured: Ahi ruby rare (+siracha) Sashimi. The perfect bite.

Small and cute, service isn’t the best tho

Probably the best piece of salmon I've ever had. It was unreal. Super delicious. The three different ladies that helped me waited on me made the food. They were all super sweet. The service is great. The people that work there seem like a family like they are all happy to be around each other. It was nice

Rolls and sushi were decent quality, but had to knock them down for automatically charging 20% staff gratuity on takeout?!?!?! Is that even legal?

Great place for sushi!
David Mack
Love the Japanese pub vibe, very tasty food
Matt Myers
Service was so slow. The chirashi bowl had just one small piece of each fish and the rice was made with too much vinegar.

Great sushi - wouldn’t expect this out in Tahoe! Very cute vibe and food came fast even though restaurant was packed (Tuesday). A lot of creative rolls worth trying - looks like you could hold a large group if you called ahead. Definitely coming back!

I love this place, but my most recent experience last evening was lackluster. As a local, I completely understand how quickly business can shift from slow to slammed. However, if the staff is overwhelmed, it would be better to either pace seating or ensure enough staff is available to provide good service.
We waited 15 minutes before anyone brought us water or menus, and the food took an unreasonably long time to arrive. My salad was drenched in so much dressing that it was inedible. I truly appreciated the manager stepping in and removing it from the bill—that was absolutely the right thing to do. My friend's miso soup was also disappointing, and she did not eat it. Our waitress was clearly stressed and doing her best, but the overall service was not up to par.
That said, the food that was done well was amazing—my Secret Garden vegetarian roll was the best I have ever had, and the veggie gyoza was delicious. Despite this experience, we will be back and hope to see improved staffing to maintain the great quality we have come to love.

Waited over an hour for food. They didn't tell us anything and several tables that sat down after us got their dinner significantly earlier. I ordered the Chirashi bowl which was 4 slices of fish on a bowl of dry cold rice. Charged 20% gratuity even though we had 5 people. We let them know after and they didn't care. Waitress was Hannah U.
Charges 20% for take out orders are you kidding me. Small font on the menu. Food isn’t worth the price.

There was kind of a long wait time, and every table was being used, which means customers liked the restaurant.
Parking: It was a pretty full parking lot.

The sushi was fresh and really tasty. We ordered take out. As I picked up the order it was very busy so I wanted to expedite things. I looked at the total and tipped 20 % on it. When I got home I discovered they had already put a 20% gratuity on the bill. So I double tipped. I have not experienced a restaurant adding a 20% tip for take out orders. Heads up look at the bill carefully.
