“I've been going here for years & the food is great & fairly priced. They have a great maki lunch meal with soup/salad & 3 rollls for a decent price. Their bento box is great! You gey to choose 2 meats plus a roll, shumai, rice & tempura veggies and soup & salad. Very good. Even better they a stamp card & you get stamps for every $25 you spend. Once card had has 10 stamps you get a $25 gift card to apply to your next visit. Honestly, lovely staff & calm environment. So glad its a neighborhood staple.“

“Lovely Sushi Space! Don’t miss this family spot! Dropped in with about 16 people they set us up with ease and comfort. Handled with love and dedication. Every necessity curated to feel like we stepped into our home for a comfortable family setting.
One of my favorites in the area!
Great fish and freshness.

Truly, we had such a good time that we simply couldn’t remember to photograph mid dinner, so it’s just a bunch of happy satiated clowns.“

“Just finished my teriyaki steak box. Has to be the best I have ever had. Fresh, crisp, distinct flavors all on one plate. I do not usually write reviews but was so impressed that I had to congratulate them. Well done!“

“I think this place is great, a real jewel. I had one of the special rolls.. I think they call it yummy yummy. Gorgeous to look at but delicious to eat! Go there you won't be disappointed!“

“I almost forgot about this spot but remembered it from when I trained at the martial arts gym down the street. I saw the other reviews raved about the food and the impressive menu for such a little spot so I decided to stop in for lunch. Very delicious indeed and the fish was rather fresh and clean tasting. They offer a decently priced menu full of Japanese favorites including cooked dishes if you are not a sushi fan. I opted for a traditional tuna maki roll and a spicy tuna roll as apart of the lunch special. Both were so tasty I ended up ordering another roll to go and the crispy rice. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and traditional decor, very bright and clean looking. Sometimes these restaurants these days can get a little too funky with the decor so they made a proper choice maintaining simplicity. I see they deliver so I will definitely be ordering again when I am not in the area.“

“The Umami Bomb is exactly that. the bomb (1990). So good back to pre-pandemic portions and tasty ingredients. Thank God you exist.“

The presentation of the sushi was beautiful, especially the way they garnish the individual pieces with those tiny, vibrant scallions. It is rare to find a spot that balances such high-quality ingredients with such care. We left feeling completely satisfied.“

The food has always been excellent. Beautiful too the eye, and yummy to the taste buds. Specials are made with add much care as the regular menu items.
Special occasions are honored. And school class trips to Osaka leave the kids thrilled to go back with their families.
John, the owner, and his staff are a joy to be around. Training is clearly taken seriously. And the staff genuinely take pride in giving guests a really nice meal and experience.“

“The shrimo tempura is a must. Best choice to go for the buffet/eat all you can rather than doing individual orders. It will somewhat come cheaper if you are a groip of 4 at least.

We had left overs and theres a charge doe left overs but the additional charge is not bad. The sushi on the a boat presentation looms great.

I recommend going to this place.“

“Good lunch selections just that their miso soup is so salty. Otherwise everything else is very good. I had salmon teriyaki with California rolls. It came with side salad , miso soup and steamed veggies. Salmon size serving is big for lunch . Very happy with the order. Cheap for $14.“

“I honestly had such a great experience at Hirame Sushi. From the second we walked in, everyone was welcoming and upbeat. You can tell the team really cares about the place.
The food was amazing — super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The sushi tasted incredibly fresh, and everything came out quickly without feeling rushed. Every roll we tried was delicious.“

“I love this restaurant the food, service and ambiance is Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Haikou is a great place! I got the crispy white meat sesame chicken with brown rice and it was very solid and came out nice and fresh. Next time I’ll try General Tso’s because everything looked good. Haikou definitely has my stamp of approval! I approve and recommend for sure.“

“👍I had a nice pleasant lunch, our waitress was outstanding.“

“Very friendly very good food“

“One of the best hot and sour soups and fried crunchy soup noodles I’ve had.

Although a tad bit pricey and could do better with some freebies if you spend a lot besides an Eggroll or soda.

Take out entree portions could be a bit bigger for price as well. I'm sure bigger if you eat in. Flavor of food is great. Fresh and authentic.

Some people could be cold but open up once you break the ice.

Love the goodie bag tea bags and fortune cookies they give.“
