The last time for me. A total waste of money. Food was horrible. I have never given any business a bad review. The food was ordered from the UBER eats App.
The sashimi deluxe was the worst I’ve ever had in my entire life. 50 years of having Japanese food. Inedible dreck. Dry, small, tasteless, off in color. Thrown in the box.
Are you kidding me?
You can check every review I’ve ever made almost 200 reviews and this is the only bad review I’ve made in 10 years.

Superb sushi experience with a large array of choices and clearly the standout amongst their field. It has been my favorite for over 30 years.

Great food and service
Bad experience and lack of customer service. This place is very good for so long time with a good food and ambience until yesterday. We're having family dinner at first everything run smoothly thanks to our server that doing the job very good,tasty food as always, and then the moment of dissapointment came. We're try to ask something or even get attention to other server on the floor, they were busy chatting even play with phone on the front cashier, laughing in the corner doing nothing. Even asking for more water, said yes and never coming back. I don't know what's happening while our server and some other servers handle multiple tables. We feel very bad to our server had to take care multiple table while still making sure that us is taking care of. To the management of this restaurant, you guys need to train your employee of customer services knowledge or even hire people that really wanna work and dedicate themselves to their job. Maybe because the tip wasn't shared for the whole shift or the server only get tip for their own section. It's just ridiculous for us to experience this kind of experience

Service no bueno. Waitress be nice to people, if you are mad at the world you should stay home. Also, your food used to be good, now your ingredients are low quality.
Very delicious and fresh

Now this place is really something special. I love coming here as an Italian man this experiance is like no other. I love Japanese cuisine and ever since my main place closed down, “Minado” or something. I had to find a new place. Now this isn’t a buffet but this is amazing

Updated: on Sept 13,2025 visited restaurant again because the last time I enjoyed dining at restaurant. To my surprise it was the worse experience I had. I invited a number of friends and my son to eat because the last time really enjoyed with our server Hanna.
When we arrived and sat down, the waiter took our order and server named Hong L, demeanor was very rude during our eating, that my guests were very upset. We had order drinks and it took over 10 minutes because he was attending another customer at another table who came after us. We order appetizers prior to the other customers who came after us too, and they came late as well too.
I even asked for extra napkins and he never brought over, the petite young lady from the register brought for us the napkins as we were eating right away. Server, Hong L was not friendly or tentative at all and never bothered to come over to see if we needed anything.
Another issue was the food we order were not the greatest or tasteful. The drinks order were ok , which my guests enjoyed. The beef negimaki appetizer was a little dried and not tasty. The worse part of this server was that he put two separate orders on same plate, 2 Red Dragon. My guest had the plate and was eating thinking it was his order. I waited like 5 minutes and questioned server who said it was served, I said I didn’t received and he said it was on my guest plate. I said in whose right mind would do this and what was more disturbing, he took my guess plate and separated and put the other portion on another plate for me to eat. This type of behavior is uncalled for and this sever should not be working there. In the end he just dropped the bill which I paid over $238 on the table like throwing us out and never asking if we needed anything else or say thank you. When I gave him cash tip he not even say thank you. As a business owner and someone who is a foodie, I would not have him working. This type of behavior is uncalled for in any business. I been to this restaurant many times as well and enjoyed their hospitality and caring by their servers. That is why I changed the rating. (see pictures below I added for the above date)
Updated: On Feb 2, 2025 visited restaurant and to my surprise the food and service was outstanding. The server Hanna was very attentive and professional and friendly. She made sure that all was great and if we needed anything not to hesitate to ask. We had a number dishes like Sushi deluxe sp salmon roll, yellowtail jalapeño, nabeyaki udon and other dishes. The food was fresh as well. My son and I went for dinner. Ask for Hanna , she is very attentive, friendly and caring for her customers to be satisfied while eating. Thank you Hanna! You made our dinner a pleasure to visit this restaurant. As someone who travels a lot and enjoys trying different ethnic foods and reviewing the food and services to let other customers know how the food and its service is.
Approx 2 years ago ,I was not impressed at all about the food. I gave 4 stars because of the service and friendliness. It was very crowed too maybe because of the weekend.
