I have been ordering from here for two years and my last few orders had been subpar quality but nothing like today.

My sushi seemed questionable and slimy. One of my rolls I had to immediately throw away. When I opened its container it smelled rotten. Now the bit I did eat before getting to the smelly roll I am worried will make me sick.

Very disappointed with the quality of fish as of late. My order also took over an hour which is the longest I have ever waited.

This place is authentic. It feels like I'm sitting in a small sushi bar in Japan. It doesn't present the glamour of an upscale American restaurant but the sushi is honestly the better than any of them. The rice in the roll was better than anything I've had in the US and the fish tastes very fresh.

My husband and I went to eat here. I was disappointed as soon as I walked in over the signed accusing delivery drivers of stealing. After reading the many signs, we decided not to eat there. There are signs saying delivery drivers cannot use the bathroom because they steal items. I am not sure what is in your bathroom that is so valuable that folks need to steal. If yall don't trust delivery drivers, don't offer delivery. But, most importantly, don't put up such terrible signs accusing the folks that are making YOU money of stealing. It is so tacky, I could hardly believe it. I won't eat here again.

We decided to try something new in hopes of a good gluten free vegan dinner experience. And we weren't disappointed!

While this place definitely constitutes a whole in the wall in a strip mall, the service and food were both phenomenal. The prices weren't anything to sneeze at either!

We were the only ones in there when we arrived, so we got great service from our server. She went through the menu with us and let us know that 4 of the vegetarian rolls could be made gluten free and vegan. So we went with edamame as a starter and got the:

Avocado Roll
Cucumber Roll
Veggie Roll
Fried Tofu Roll (they took off the toppings from this one since they contained both gluten and eel sauce)

They had Kikkoman gluten free soy sauce for us to use also, we just had to ask.

And while their wine selection isn't vast, the bottle of Malbec we shared for $20 was actually pretty darn good.

By the time we were leaving, all of their tables were full and there were people waiting for a table. So obviously this place does good business with their great food, service and pricing. Overall, this is a place we would come back to again.

Ate here every other day for like two weeks. Perfect place for a quick sit down meal. Came for the bento box, stayed for the gyoza! The owners are nice and they work there every day.

I have been here 3x in the past 30 days, once for take out and twice for dine in. Every time it has been consistently great sushi. Not sure whats up with the recent off reviews, but I've never had a bad experience.

Ordered the okonomiyaki, little Tokyo roll, and beef bulgogi.
Okonomiyaki was alright, a little on the dry side.
I actually liked the little Tokyo roll taste wise, but I had a very hard piece of rice in one of my bites that hurt my teeth.
The beef bulgogi did not match the description on the menu. It was lacking 2 of the ingredients mentioned (cucumber and lettuce) and was mostly rice. When I noted it to the server, she said that the chef was Korean and that maybe the menu was wrong?? Either way I had this order refunded and would not come back.

Yum!! This was one of the best door dash I’ve ever had. I had the volcano sushi roll and creamy ginger shrimp bento and everything was really really good! I would have given five stars, but they did not give me the spicy mayo that I paid for. It’s very common for places to overlook small minor details that could potentially give them perfect service, but most places just don’t care. It’s a real simple check order/check bag procedure. No excuses. But other than that the food was excellent.

people were great. owner is great. atmosphere feels great. my only critique is with something the owner has no control over. i feel bad for the owner because i believe the location of the restaurant holds it back from getting the business it deserves. i recommend the udon soup very filling

Worst sushi ever. Tasted horrible and ate two pieces and gave up. One roll tasted like bleach. American owned.. This is not the authentic sushi you are hoping for. Did not come with any soy sauce, wasabi, or ginger. The manager was not helpful. Never eat here.. You will be better off.

I would give zero stars if I could. The owner was incredibly rude, telling me it was my fault I didn't like the watered-down, soggy, and cold food. The food was poorly made, and this place isn't special at all. You can find much better options anywhere else.
