Recently ordered takeout spicy tuna roll and Tekka makki roll. It was very good. You could tell and taste everything was fresh.

The food was good and met expectations. However, the waiter’s attitude was extremely unpleasant: he slammed the plates onto the table, kept a hostile demeanor throughout the service, and at the end, asked me for a tip because I hadn’t left one. When I told him I wasn’t going to give it, he replied that I should never come back, crumpled the receipt, and threw it onto the counter. A very uncomfortable experience that completely overshadowed the quality of the food.

Honestly the food was not bad. The service was terrible, the guy who was our waiter literally as soon as we walked in had a terrible attitude with us. He threw the menus at us and then he almost threw the food when he had it and almost shouted at us when we didn’t understand that he said “bento box”. Then my friend who paid the bill didn’t tip him because of the terrible service and he asked that we tip him and we said no because the service was terrible and he told us to never come back

I had the lunch special menu with a glass of plum wine. The food was amazing - the fish is fresh and tasty and the dish was satisfying and definitely sufficient for lunch. It with the soup and salad which is more than enough. The plum wine was excellent and the price for the whole thing was decent. I strongly recommend the place great value for great food.

Ordered an amago don and a salmon roll, total approx. $36
Food - the food was delicious and on-point, and they provided 2 different sauces to try. Not super outstanding but very solid.
Service - overall service was good and fast; however, at the end, the server asked us for tip even when 2 people from our party clicked “no tip” on the credit card machine. Honestly found this a little insulting.
Atmosphere - was very nice and had adequate noise in the good way, mood felt good for eating

If I could give this restaurant zero stars, I would. The food was horrible. I ordered a $25 chicken teriyaki bento. The chicken and sushi tasted very slimy and old. It had no flavor or taste. I immediately packed it to go and paid. On my way out of the restaurant, the host verbally acted me, stating that I hadn’t left a tip. I told him I shouldn’t leave a tip because the food tasted horrible. He replied stating that the food was bad, but I’m packing it up. I told him I'd give it to the homeless, or I could leave it, and you would give me my money back and he refused. Don’t waste your money.

I got the lunch special which was a good price for two simple rolls, soup and salad. I enjoyed the eel/avo and the spicy Cali roll. I later ordered a milk mango Boba tea with chewy Boba. It was not good. Not enough mango powder so it already tasted watered down, and some of the Boba were so hard it was difficult to chew. So they were obviously hard. I would recommend the sushi 100%, but tell you to stay away from the Boba.
