“We just tried poke stop and we’re so happy we found this little gem! My husband and I each got poke bowls and split the Godzilla roll. It was a good portion of food and not insanely expensive. We dined in, the space is small and cozy. Great takeout option for a healthier dinner/lunch.“

I sure hope these people stay in business. They made Mother's Day and 2 birthdays wonderful!! Hats off to them!!!♥️“

“We first heard about this place on social media. We were a little skeptical to try it, but decided to give it a chance. We shouldn't have waited! The all you can eat menu had many options to choose from. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We will definitely be back. The great service and clean environment were a plus too.“

“I brought my mom here for lunch yesterday. The waiter that served us had kind of a crappy attitude honestly. In some moments he was nice but my mom asked what comes on a bento box because she's unfamiliar and he told her "it's on the menu". She just wanted someone to explain it to her because she was confused by the sushi and the meat options. Obviously not an item she orders often. She asked what the meat is for (i think she thought you get sushi or meat she wasn't understanding it was a part of the box) and he looked at her like she was stupid and pretty flatly answered the question. It embarrassed her. My mom is a really kind hearted person so it was frustrating watching someone make her feel dumb for asking a question in an unfamiliar environment. Sad. The food itself was good. The waiter likely was having a bad day. I've been a server and understand. But wish he'd been kinder to my mom.“

“The sushi is always the freshest, whether talking about the salmon, tuna, wrappers, fruit, avocados, whatever the ingredients are it is the freshest! The staff are amazing, whether hostess, wait staff, Sushi chefs, even the bus crew everyone is friendly and professional. Patrick is eager to tell you about the food as much as he is about how he and the rest of the chefs have all been friends for years. This is the type of place that you keep going back because it is always amazing!“

“This is the BEST sushi in the business. I’ve had it all over the country and Miss Kim still makes it the best. $1 sake night on Tuesday reminds you of walking into cheers.

Cannot recommend this place enough. And for your picky people who don’t like sushi, Toby on the grill in the back is awesome too. They have food for everyone.“

“Started my sushi journey here about 20 yrs ago. Have not been in about 3-4 years until now. So happy to see that it remains the best around. Odd place for a business to do so well so that speaks a lot for the food and service. If you have not been there I highly recommend you experience it. Don’t let the storefront keep you away. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“Good was really good, the price is worth it.“

“I've come here both with my children and on date night without. It's a very pleasant and chill place with a lot of good food, very fresh sushi, and the sake is good too! Quiet and pleasant, and the waitstaff are super easy to talk to. Can't go wrong if you're unsure where to go for dinner.“

“the Food is so delicious my wife and I and our 3 kids love it there I also love their cowboy California Roll“

“Incredible experience. We have been here before with great service and food, but tonight was the best! We celebrated our 5 year old's birthday and from the time we walked in, she felt so special. As always, the food was delicious...but that was only the beginning. From the dancing dragon that came to tell her happy birthday, to the gift of special chopsticks...she felt like a queen. Thank you Takara for helping our little girl feel so special. We will definitely be back.“

“Good staff and good food they cook the food in your face“

“They happily offered a nori substitute for my salmon sushi (delicious). The Shuman and beef takami were perfect. The clear soup is a palate cleanser (no flavor). The only disappointment was the fly that had me arm flailing throughout the meal.“

“The quality is great and service great as well! For the price I wish they served miso soup or offer udon or ramen as an option to compliment the rolls then it would be 5/5. I’ve been dining here past couple years and quality is still great. Other Japanese AYCE restaurants taste good too but they put too much MSG! I like to come here to pamper myself.“

“We first heard about this place on social media. We were a little skeptical to try it, but decided to give it a chance. We shouldn't have waited! The all you can eat menu had many options to choose from. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We will definitely be back. The great service and clean environment were a plus too.“

“Went for the first time for my birthday with my family. The food was so good! The chef at the hibachi was very funny and interactive. The other staff were friendly and everyone seemed happy to be there. We called to make a reservation so we would be guaranteed the hibachi experience. They also have a table dine in area that is very nice looking and next time we come we are going to sit there. Their prices are around what you would expect for hibachi and good sushi. We had a great time! We will be going back 100%!!!“
