? The food was good, but not terribly memorable.? I recall there was a line to get in, but don't remember much else about the service.

I love this place! I have basically gone here once a week for years. Salmon lover and double the fun are our favorite sushi rolls. The edamame and the gyoza are also great. If you drink alcohol, try the shotime!

My wife and I ordered 3 rolls to split. Each individually was good, but also so incredibly heavy and saucy and high fat. By the time we were on the third I wanted never to look at eel sauce and spicy mayo ever again. Felt worse than eating a cheeseburger.That's of course partially our fault for picking 3 heavy rolls, but this is never something that we ever thought could happen at a sushi restaurant. Overall, I'd give 2 or 3 stars for our experience, but I'll give 4 because with more skilled ordering I believe this place would be quite good.

Rolls were meh and we accidentally knocked over a wine glass (on a very full sushi table) which broke and were charged a $10 “broken glass fee.” Nope.

Sushi was flavorful. My Son took Me here to eat dinner. I loved their noodle soup. Service was great. A darn fly happen to land in My Son’s sushi and it ruined his appetite. They were nice to not charge us and return it.

Thisis not a real Japanese bar. I ordered whiskey and soda but they gave me totally different drink. Also, they charged my CC more than I paid.

We visited a restaurant where the service was extremely unprofessional and arrogant, leading to a very poor experience with chaotic management.First, while we were ordering, the waitress walked away after only five of our six-person group had ordered, without asking if anyone else needed to order. When I called her back because one person hadn't ordered yet, she rolled her eyes at another waiter and then returned without any apology.Second, we ordered 12 oysters, a dozen, which we made very clear, but she only brought six.Third, not all the dishes we ordered were served, yet they appeared on the bill.Finally, when paying, we were almost charged more with someone else's bill.From start to finish, the experience was a mix of amateurishness and arrogance. The waitress was sarcastic throughout.As for the food, it was very unappetizing. The edamame was sour and spoiled. When we informed the waitress, she didn’t apologize and just walked away. The sashimi was of the poorest quality and very fishy."

Good little spot for happy hour and sushi. The upon and katsu are good choices for those that dont eat fish. The staff are friendly and the presentation and taste are spot on. There is also omakase for those that want to the chefs choice.

This place was pretty busy for a Saturday night & pouring rain! They were severely under staffed but we only had drinks & appetizers & the food came out quickly so that was nice & we were waiting for Barboza doors to open so it all worked out. The food was good & there is street parking for those of you who are looking to park.

Don't order from this place. I ordered 4 dishes and only one was edible! The poke bowl had ROTTEN FISH!!! The unagi bowl hardly had any unagi but just a bit on top and underneath is tiny pieces of other kind of fish mixed with lots of onion. The beef bowl had very little beef. And the roll was the most edible but with tiny pieces of soft shell crab. The rice in all the dishes was barely edible like cooked with too much water. This place is BAD. THE FOOD IS INEDIBLE AND UTTERLY DISGUSTING!!!

Got the Chicken karaage and the sushi pizza with salmon. The chicken karaage was very well done. The chicken was not too hard and the breading was just the right amount. The sushi pizza was good but the price for the amount of food is a bit steep for me.

Came in for a quick dinner on a Monday night. The food was good, but the service was not great. Our server didn’t really check on us other than to take our order. He dropped the check before we were even done eating. Maybe he had an off night, but it wasn’t a great impression and there’s enough spots around that I won’t be dying to go back.

I called ahead to make a reservation, requested to be seated in a right section of the restaurant because of a celebration. the woman on the phone didn’t take my name down which I already thought was odd, but I brushed it off. I arrived at the restaurant, the male server then asked for my name and I said there was no name given on the reservation. I said exactly what I did on the phone, he seemed either confused or not amused, maybe the woman did not write down my request for reservation at all. My whole dinner was dreadful. I kept giving this place a chance multiple times for the past few years. The decor is amazing and I wish that they didn’t shove everyone on just 1 side of the restaurant. The service was terrible every single time we were here. Yesterday was the worst of them all.

I absolutely love this place! My girlfriend and I stumbled upon it sometime during 2020 and ended up making it one of our regular got to spots! They have a great happy hour and late night happy hour! The food is great, and they have a great variety as well for those who might not like sushi. The staff are so kind and are always ready to recommend items off the menu.If you haven't tried this place out yet, what are you waiting for?!
