“Literally my favorite sushi/Thai place ever. So good. Great service. Nice servers, fresh fish. I will always come here!“

“Finally found Ukrainian-style sushi in the US, and it honestly made my day! It's so simple, just fresh salmon, cream cheese, and cucumber, but that is exactly what makes it so good. No crazy toppings or heavy sauces, just pure perfection. Hands down the best roll I've had here. Highly recommend everyone give it a try!“

“My son took me to Little To Jo for my birthday. It was one of the most pleasant meals out i have had in a long time. The food was exceptional and the plates were over flowing. The wait staff were courteous, smiling and trying to please. The decor was calm and you could talk to your dinner companions. I had a wonderful conversation with the table next to us. I will definitely go there again. It is one of the best restaurants in my area.“

“My friend had been wanting to try Zoto Sushi for a while, and as a sushi lover, we chose this place from several options because of its excellent reviews.

I must say, it truly lived up to the hype. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the friendly service adds to the overall experience. You can tell that the chefs take great pride in their craft—every dish is prepared with care and attention. From the drinks to the sushi, everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented.

The only reason for 4 stars is the restroom maintenance. There was water all over the floor during our visit. When the food, service, and overall experience are handled so well, this is one area that deserves a little more attention.

Overall, a wonderful place for sushi lovers, and I would definitely return for the food, service, and atmosphere“

“Being Asian , I want to give a resounding endorsement to this Japanese food truck – it’s an absolute gem! 🍱 I opted for the chicken and Dragon sushi, and to my surprise, it could easily satisfy my soul. The food was not just delicious but also impressively fresh, served piping hot, and delivered with lightning speed. Watching the chef prepare it right before my eyes was a delightful experience, and knowing that all the ingredients were cooked to order, made it even. This food truck has quickly become my top spot, and I genuinely hope they stick around for a long time! 😊“

“absolutely DELISH!! Highly recommend. 😋“

“Dining at Tsukino was an absolute delight. We ordered generously fully expecting to enjoy dinner there and still have plenty left for lunch the next day but the food had other plans. The rolls were so irresistibly fresh and flavorful that we happily polished off every last bite right at the table. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of energy and comfort, and each dish arrived beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Having visited sushi bars from Japan to San Francisco, I can say with confidence that Tsukino stands out as something truly special a place where great ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a wonderful vibe come together in the most delicious way. 🍣✨ like its name - Tsukino… the food reflects a calm, elegant, slightly mystical vibe. My new ATF!“

“Our favorite restaurant!!! We're regulars and have lunch there several times a month. The food is that good! Everything is always fresh and delicious! I've tried almost everything on the menu and every single item is excellent! Try the shrimp/steak hibachi when you go, my fav! Prices are very reasonable too! The staff is amazing as well! They're always super friendly, kind and deliver amazing service with a smile! Highly recommended and five stars PLUS!“

“Awesome food and so much to choose from“

“Dragón roll personalizado muy bueno la shrimp soup pho es la que me gusta“

“Me and my family have been coming here for over a year now and it's absolutely fantastic every time. Every dish is made to order and so so fresh. We typically stick to the rice bowl options but we've tried a few other things and never been disappointed. Their egg drop soup and seaweed salad are amazing appetizers as well, and all the food comes out so fast. The owner and employees always recognize us and greet us with the biggest smile and best service. We modify our bowls to exactly how we like them (encouraged by the owner!!) and the prices are very reasonable, with only a $1 upcharge for some modifications. Plenty of meat in the bowls as well, you will never leave hungry, even if you only ate the meat with no veggies or rice. Overall, amazing customer service and some of the best chinese I've had.“

“I probably would have never considered stopping here based on the outside appearance, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The service was also friendly and attentive.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back.“

“My son and dil asked me where I wanted to eat for a belated Mother's Day dinner(my choice}. I wanted to have hibachi since I haven't had it for a long time. After reviewing what was somewhat close by and reviews, I chose Izumi. So happy I did. The food was wonderful as well as the staff, drinks, and entertainment. Told them first time there and will be back!“
