    Salmon
    Tyler J.

    A cozy spot in the shopping center off Camden, I always passed by but never made my way inside. Finally decided to try it and I would say it was a touch below my expectations. The service was very nice as we were the only ones inside, and our orders came out very prompt. We ordered three rolls and salmon sashimi, and they were all okay quality. I think because we went there pretty close to opening the fish was still quite cold, I don't like fish that is too warm by any means but you could tell this was pretty fresh out of the freezer. Personally I don't think this place is the best, but it's not the worst either. I'd prefer to go to other sushi places along Almaden Expressway especially for the price.

    Came in for dinner with my family. very friendly staff sat us down with no wait around 6:30. The restaurant is small and intimate there were multiple big partys at one half of the shop but they sat us away which I highly appreciated, our server was attentive and quick. The sushi tasted fresh and was gone within minutes. Price of our bill was a bit much but we did leave satisfied.

    Had lunch here today with my husband, his nephew,his girlfriend and her mom. Very convenient using Google reservations. We had bento boxes with salmon,gyro,tempura and some type of sushi with jalapeño. We all liked our dishes,so good! I was worried nephew's girlfriend & mom wouldn't like it (they're Japanese) they enjoyed it! Great service too!

    I've eaten a lot of sushi and this is my favorite spot ever. The sushi is always fresh, the staff is so friendly, every roll is perfectly crafted. Best spot ever.

    Sushi/Japanese restaurant in a stip mall BUT don't let that fool you! Service outstanding from beginning to end. Food spectacular. Sushi, Udon, Donburi, Bento and more... fresh and tasty. They even had sparking water. Great stop to satisfy that quick lunch crave. Happy find, happy hai!

    Hot night roll! Absolutely delicious!

    When I say hole in the wall, I mean hole in the wall. Literally circled the entire lot of the plaza…read morelike a lost puppy before I realized I had driven right past it. It is a tiny restaurant nestled in between CVS and another business, I forget what. But there is a tree blocking their signage and the additional small stand-up sign barely draws enough attention to the location. Restaurant is small, but the service is prompt and friendly. You order through a QR code on the table and all mobile devices ordering from the same table will have their orders consolidated. Beef Udon stir fry is tasty, but as many have said, on the sweeter side. Loooooove the texture and chew of the udon noodles. Very springy, almost like korean rice cakes or gnocchi. Sake chirashi bowl was delicious too. Would be nice if the wasabi was on the side. My daughter loves sashimi but can't handle when the wasabi touches the fish. Too spicy for her. Freshness of the fish is good. It's not the luxury cut of salmon, but the quality is still very worthwhile. Can't go wrong with Cali Roll, sweet potato fries, and spring rolls (fried egg rolls). Kids gobbled them right up. My bestie also ordered a sizzling plate which she finished just as quickly. Definitely RECOMMEND this spot for small get togethers, party of 5 or less. They may not have much in sushi variety, but what they dish up, they serve with pride with modest prices. Cheers to the sweet woman who gave our kids lollipops after their meal. Very family friendly.

The location is somewhat buried in the mall, and you have to look for it. The ambience is simple, and a bit dark, probably because the location is buried in the back of the mall, but its very clean and organized and not cluttered. The people and service is good. Pretty basic but friendly. I first came here to have Chicken Katsu. It was flavorful and the meat was tender. The sauce hit the spot and and satisfying. I plan to go back and try their sushi and ramen. The location is close to my home, which is a bonus for me. They are typically not very busy, i believe because most customers get their food to go. I did notice a lot of to go orders. Overall I think this place has great Asian food and great service. I plan to trey other dishes to get a better sense of their overall food experience.

    3 of us came here for lunch on Saturday around noon. There're plenty of tables available inside and…read morewe got seated right away. Both decor and service were minimal. We grabbed the menus ourselves from a nearby table. We originally wanted to try their AYCE, but since the whole table had to participate, and one of us wasn't that hungry, we decided to order a la carte. We're glad we did. The 3 of us were already stuffed after sharing an appetizer and 4 signature rolls. The sweet potato tempura came out piping hot; the batter wasn't too thick. While the dipping sauce lacked flavor, the dish was still ok, and not too oily. We're impressed by the number of signature rolls they offered, and tried to pick something we hadn't seen at other sushi restaurants. My favorite was the lobster tail tempura that came with the Boujee rolls. It was tasty with a light batter. The plating was beautiful. The torched salmon, shrimp tempura and spicy tuna were good as well, but I didn't really see any real crab inside. The Skittles roll was pretty delicious, too. I liked that it had unagi, crab, tobiko, and avocado among other things. The Umami roll also had unagi and carb, but the salmon skin and bonito flakes were what made the roll special. My daughter didn't care for the salmon skin, though. The Black Mamba was interesting if you liked softshell crab. I didn't care for the macadamia nuts, though. Portion size was huge. However, their rolls weren't rolled very tightly nor cut evenly, and their rice was on the sweeter side as other Yelpers had mentioned. Since most of the rolls had similar sauces, they kind of tasted very similar, despite the different ingredients. I wouldn't mind coming back again to try other items on their menu when I'm in the area.

    Knowing Kakuna is one of the few AYCE sushi spots left in the area, we had to give it a try. Even…read morethough these establishments were our go-to with buddies back in the day, one can only endure so much rice nowadays. To each their own, though--getting old, hehe! Food: B For the AYCE Premium experience, they offer an extensive list of options to choose from. Adding the premium option unlocks access to the nigiri and special selection. Rolls: These were definitely solid and meet up with the standards around the Bay. So if you have an itch ya need to scratch for good ole 'Murica-style rolls, they gotchu. Special selection: You can only choose one per person. We opted for the Boujee Roll and the Sashimi Salad. The Boujee Roll--an upscale roll made with premium ingredients--was good, and the Sashimi Salad was solid. Nigiri: Left the best for last, but we were disappointed with the quality of this lineup. Knowing that it was the premium addition, the quality wasn't the best--and yes, this is factoring in that it's AYCE, but the texture and taste were still a bit off. Overall, we would come back maybe for the à la carte rolls, or if we do AYCE, we might just stick with the regular option. Vibe: B Service: B+ Friendly staff checked on us regularly during our stay and made sure our water were full. - John

They have a wide variety of offerings, which made it hard to decide what to order. We decided on the edemame, chicken teriyaki & tempura bento subbed with sashimi, and 2 of their special nigiris. Everything was really good. I loved the chicken teriyaki. The teriyaki sauce wasn't too sweet, and the chicken was seasoned. It's been a while since I've had good teriyaki chicken! The sashimi came with 2 pieces of tuna and 2 pieces of salmon, which were fine, decent size and tasted fresh. The shrimp tempura had a unique breading, not the typical panko, and it was so crunchy. The shrimp seemed more like a prawn. It was much larger and had great freshness and sweetness. Really good! The special nigiris we ordered were the aburi sake toro & engawa yuzu. In general, I thought the fish pieces were pretty skinny. Good rice to fish ratio tho. The salmon toro would probably be better with less sauce. It overpowered the fish, and I couldn't enjoy the fattiness of the salmon. The engawa was supposed to be torched, but it wasn't. It was still good tho. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more items.

Service wasn't that fast but this place provides a fine dining experience compared to the other Japanese restos in the area. Price is considerably higher too.
