    The cost and ingredients of the roll
    Bianca G.

    First time customers, walked in and 1/2 the chairs at the sushi bar are up on the counter. The seating at the sushi counter is pointless, they are regular chairs and the top of the counter is at least 5'4". Basically you can't see the items in the cooler nor the chef prepare the food. It seemed like they were cramming a lot of stuff in the entrance, ice cream freezer, a drink cooler, a huge wheel to spin on your birthday. They had no diet soda available either. My customary roll is the caterpillar roll, which is cooked eel, cucumber, avocado and some crab. So, I had to order the upgraded version to include all those pieces, where other sushi restaurants have them as standard. The reason it's called the caterpillar roll is because is is normally covered in avocado so it looks bright green like a caterpillar. I've had chefs use cucumber to make antennas too. Upon receiving my roll I could not figure out if it even had eel inside it. I had the server take it back and ask a chef. The chef even had to examine the roll to see if there was eel. You'll see in the picture it is mostly crab and there's a minuscule dark section which is the eel. There was a single piece of cucumber (string) in the whole roll, I would randomly find it in one bite of my pieces. You can't see in the picture I pulled it out of the end piece so you can't see the thickness. Lastly, as mentioned the caterpillar is usually bright green, this roll had slivers of avocado on top. VERY disappointed and will never come back.

    Hello folks. It is time for another one of my reviews. I came here before the premier of spiderman with my hb and his familamily. I ordered the Ronald Reagan Roll for no particular reason. Trust me. It was very very good. Also somebody got these weird appetizer squid halls dish I don't know I can remember what was in it, but it was good. I can remember that! I also tried another sushi piece but I can't remember the name. it was also very good! The service was very good as well. It was busy but they still got everything out as fast as they could! Bravo! Cmon folks give em a round of applause! "" That's what I'm talking about! The inside of the place was also very cool. When we walked in they were singing happy birthday to someone. So folks, I recommend you to come try this place out! Very good food. I didn't take a photo of the food but I do have a picture of my little plushy Spider-Man.

    One of our occasional date spots. I'm not gonna lie, the first time I tried this place years ago-- I did not like it. But, since being with my bf... he said he liked it, so I gave it another chance and it hasn't disappointed since... other than raising their prices (ugh, inflation). The restaurant is nice... but not super fancy nice. I don't feel pressure to dress a certain way coming here so I like that. They keep it clean, plenty of available seating on both sides of the restaurant, as well as the sushi bar, and the outside patio. Host/Hostesses are always quick to greet you and get you seated as soon as possible. I've never waited too long, but I don't usually stick around if they (any restaurant) tell me it's an hour or more wait (if I'm starving). The longest I've waited here was probably 40mins... but we kept ourselves entertained. As for service at the table? I've never had an issue with any of our waiters/waitresses. Good job. When it's the two of us, we usually stick to the same type of rolls. He always goes for anything with Tuna, I go for Salmon (raw). I've switched between the K-Roll (name has changed from Kaylee or something) and the Psycho roll. They are basically the same thing honestly... just one has crab, one doesn't. He did Mura Mura this time, usually he does Marilyn Monroe. Again, there's no difference. All of their rolls are pretty similar with the slightest difference between each. I've tried a few others when I dined with my siblings but I can't remember what they were... all similar I'm sure, but all good. Oh, anything with thin lemon slices are good too. For appetizers, my favorite is the Stuffy Mushrooms. I prefer it without the fish flakes though. & I wish there was actually more of the pepper in there... it's just one tiny little piece. Edamame is always a good snack and they have different flavor options. The Mussels are okay here... not the best so it's not a must for me. Can't recall anything else at the moment. Anyway, we like I Love Sushi.

    We came at 6pm on a Saturday. It was bustling but we didn't have to wait for a table which was great. There are rules posted all over the walls around the waiting area which is a little off-putting but I get it, people can be wild. The dining room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Our servers were friendly and prompt. We ordered the super sunomono for starters. Very yummy! For rolls we got the wrecked, sushi mafia, and the nutty. All of them were great. I like that you can eat each slice in one bite and all were very flavorful. Can't wait to come back.

    The rolls are always on point and delicious. The service always delivers and come around to ask if need anything on multiple occasions when I come visit. I always come back. The ambiance nice and has great music.

    Good service and good prices for sushi! Our server was kind and attentive. The sushi came out pretty fast and the quality of fish is good

    I love I love sushi!! The super jack black roll is my FAVORITE. So yummm. But besides that, every time I've went, we have been seated fairly quick! The workers are nice and welcoming as well. When ordering, you scan the QR code for the menu and the server takes your order! Don't really like the set up of the menu but it is what it is, could be neater and easier to navigate. All the sushi I've had here has been good. Haven't had a bad experience yet :)

    Always good service and fresh Sushi... Never disappointed!!

    Great food and service. I love going here for sushi. Place is always busy, but wait times are rare.

    Tuna seaweed salad , tuna steak animal style
    Jaycee T.

    Love coming here, their sushi is always good. Service is quick and friendly. One of the reasons why I love coming here is because of their sauce! I love spicy and they come through with the spicy sauce, I believe it's called 911 sauce and the 1822 sauce. It's a blended mixture of green chilis and the spiciest one is topped off with a capsicum hot sauce. So bomb, need to have it at every sushi spot.

    Seaweed tuna salad. Supposed to be spicy, it wasn't.

    This is one of our go to sushi spots. They have a variety of sushi rolls and I like that they separate them by groups. For example, raw, cooked, salmon, tuna, torched etc.. easier to find what you want. Can b a lil overwhelming when u cant decide tho but for sure you'll find something. Love their 911 spicy sauce! I always get a spicy sushi roll. Usually with a side of spicy tuna/seaweed salad. This time we ordered the fried shrimp stuffed crab bomb things and total rip off. It's like two shrimp cut n spread apart stuff with imitation crab and got like mayo on it. Got the price it was not worth it! Never getting that again. Also ordered nigiri combo that came with miso soup and salad. The service for take out is good. They gave me a call when it was ready.

    Spicy Scallop Roll
    Taryn K.

    Our waitress balanced attentiveness and space very well. She was friendly and efficient. Restaurant is nice, though the first bench I sat on sloped downwards, the second did not. We sat on the table side away from the counter and noise level was typical for any restaurant. If you like tempura they had a ton of options on the menu. I tried to order rolls that would hopefully be mostly gluten free. If you like spicy the cinco de mayo was good. Spicy scallops were excellent to me, husband said it was only okay. Tofu roll was my favorite of everything. Salmon skin was also really good. I would not order the Gaga roll again. I did not like the miso soup, but I did like the salad.

    Yes its called I love sushi but this place makes me never want to eat sushi again. I ordered the cali fried roll with spicy mayo and they put teriyaki sauce on top and the spicy mayo on the side but it wasn't in the description that they add the teriyaki sauce. The "spicy mayo" did not look like it had any mayonnaise and it was not spicy at all. The fried part of the sushi was very flavorless and oily, I couldn't taste what was in the sushi because of the fried part being so bland. I asked the waiter if I can just order the regular California roll instead and they said there is nothing they can do and proceeded to charge me. Very disappointing that they could not fulfill my accommodations or requests or even suggest something to make me feel better about paying for something I didn't like. The environment itself was decent but was not authentic. As soon as I left I felt sick and got food poisoning. 1/10 would not recommend and will never go again.

There are a few things we plan to go back and try though. Based on his recommendation we tried the scallop temaki and it was delicious but we still really want to try the scallop spoons. Everyone talked about the sushi so we tried the house Iza Sake roll, it was good but honestly didn't blow us away. So many reviews told us to splurge on the Wagu A-5 hot rock lettuce wraps. It was fun to have them cooked in front of us and the meat was buttery, I would say to save your money. Let them cook your fried rice in front of you for the ambiance and you get more for less money. It also has Wagu beef. We also tried the bone marrow and we liked it but I do believe it's an acquired taste. We had two mixed drinks the Hibiscus Shoga, very good, but a bit too sweet. Then the Kohahu Carmel Old Fashioned which was a recommendation and we love old fashions. This was good but way too sweet for us. I do recommend the Kurosawa Nigori. We plan to return to try the spoons and seafood risotto and maybe the lobster temaki. Also recommend going earlier than later. We had an 8pm reservation and the grill was cleaned at 9pm so it was a surprise to have the kitchen closed so early.

So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.

The 14-piece sashimi platter with a couple of rolls was more than enough for two people, and everything was excellent quality. The ramen is also fantastic, but fair warning: the bowls are HUGE, so definitely come hungry.
