“Clean restaurant, polite and fast staff! Came toward the end of the day and got other best poke bowl I've ever had. No line and food was done within a minute or two ready to go with great free soup! Had the scallops, fish egg, spicy tuna with yellow pickles seaweed seasoning, and teriyaki and spicy mayo sauce. Fantastic food and big portion sizes!“

“Delicious! Hibachi grill master was entertaining!“

“I often go here for some affordable sushi as they usually fill me right up for a grand total of $12. The veg options are a bit minimal compared to the whole menu, but they are tasty. They also give free water if you spend 8$ or more. The sushi isn’t as “nice-looking” as other places, but the cost makes up for that. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-02“

“la comida muy buena y limpio el lugar“

“This was a great place to eat. The food was excellent and came with great service.“

“Tiana is literally the best! You’ll never get better service anywhere else. The food was fantastic and so was the service. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better dinning experience in my life. The Lava Trio and Grilled Salmon Ginger were phenomenal. I can’t say enough when it comes to the customer service. I’m a huge foody and dont mind spending money for good food and service. I’ve traveled all over the world and this was one of the best experiences ive ever had. Tiana was the best server I’ve ever had while dinning out and I’ve been all over the world. Truly fantastic. This place would not be the same without Tiana. She honestly puts the cherry on top.“
