Genuinely frustrated and disappointed by this place and the service. Expect to leave hungry and overcharged.

Sushi Heaven. Food is fresh and the chef’s choice mean you will receive a compilation of experience in flavour creations. Staff is super sweet💖
The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. No loud obtuse music to yell over. The entire experience hit every note. The food was some of the best sushi I’ve ever had and I’ve eaten sushi in Tokyo Japan.
My nee favourite hole in the wall
I LOVE your effort to make our dining experience over the top
Gratefully ❣️
Sorry, no photos I couldn’t wait to eat it !

It’s sushi made by non-Asians, aimed at a non-Asian audience. Worst of all, they automatically add a 20% gratuity to take-out orders.

Cute little spot with some vegan options. Overall, vegan sushi tasted okay, main ingredients are cucumber, avocado, carrots, one of the rolls with tempura zucchini, another with tofu — nothing special, can make them at home. Nice ambiance, friendly staff!
I ordered “Secret garden” and “Sunflower”. The secret garden rolls were small and very thin sliced, also they put it on the same plate with fish sashimi another person ordered. I’m also pregnant and didn’t want any cross contamination (raw fish is dangerous for pregnant woman/fetus) so I went and asked not to put the next rolls with raw fish. The Sunflower rolls portion was bigger.
We were in the area with friends and this place was near by. Thank you for being inclusive and offering plant-based options.

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?
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.

Amazing staff and amazing sushi. Best in truckee and probably tahoe and reno area.
