They also have fantastic happy hour and lunch specials that make it easy to stop by more often without breaking the bank. I honestly come back again and again for the spicy edamame and the spicy tuna on crispy rice -- both are absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. The spicy tuna on crispy rice is perfectly done every time, with just the right crunch and spice, and the spicy edamame is seriously addictive. I've also tried the tempura, shrimp tempura roll, miso soup, and several other rolls, and everything I've ordered has been fresh and delicious. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their food. It's quickly become one of my favorite sushi spots, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great sushi, awesome specials, and consistently friendly service.

From the moment we sat down, staff was very attentive, helpful with menu recommendations, and very knowledgeable about all of the options on the menu. I started with an order of their garlic chili edamame, which really hit the spot, though it was spicier than expected. I then ordered their citrus roll, which came recommended by our waiter. The role was fresh, delicious, and refreshing. A perfect recommendation! Overall, a fantastic experience, and one that ensured I will be back for more occasions in the future.

My wife and I were HUGE Temari fans. They had the best sushi in the state hands down. Everything we…read moreloved about it is gone with the new owners. Rolls are smaller and taste like grocery store sushi rather than quality restaurant sushi. The sauces are different and used way more sparingly, the cuts of the ingredients are inconsistent. The rice tastes cheaper and the fish and fruits are unrecognizable. The Baja roll and Primo rolls use to be my favorite rolls anywhere. I ordered both and I honestly couldn't even finish the Baja roll. Cheap fish, canned fruit, almost no sauces. I'd honestly rather pay $25 a roll to have the old rolls back rather than these new versions. Sadly, I probably won't ever return unless they go back to the old level of quality for their rolls. RIP.

The quality of the sushi and the service has deteriorated. I remember the warmth in the service at the sushi bar before and that is completely gone...I have given it a few (maybe five or six) tries since they changed ownership and I think I'm to the point where it's clear that the disappointment is not just because they're new. The sushi is just not good. I have to stop coming here and it's a bummer because I live super close and used to love it. The green tea was even bad- all I could taste was hot tap water and it cost me $4.25 Not worth spending money there.

When I walked in, I was promptly directed to where I should go so I could place a takeout order. The genuine courtesy of the staff here was just what I needed after a long day. Lots of great options for sushi but ramen sounded amazing on a chilly winter day. I ordered a couple options and requested for the toppings to be separated so my picky eater could pick out what she didn't like. The food was out promptly and packaged with such care. Once I got it back to my daughter's hospital room, we were able to feast on the best meal we had all day. I will definitely be coming back to this place again and I am grateful for their kindness just when I needed it. Highly recommend!

Our server was attentive, happy hour was good and everything came out quickly. The cucumber salad was super refreshing and gyoza were yummy with a delicious sauce. We ordered sake bombs, and I absolutely love that they serve them with frosty chilled glasses. We tried two different ramen bowls and both were packed with flavor. The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

However this allows the staff to be more directly invested in your experience and keep the same level of quality in each dish. The fish is always fresh. The sushi rolls are creative enough to stand out from your local sushi restaurant but not over the top that the flavors get so mixed up that you're not sure what you're eating. The star of the show is their truffle escolar. I can't say more than if you are a fan of sashimi, then you will want to get this to be the first and last dish you order.

So was super excited to have date night here and as always it did NOT disappoint. Shishito peppers. Hands down, the best thing behave ever had. I don't know what they do different. But they do it consistently and very well. I could eat these alone and feel happy. We are on a yellowtail kick. We asked the amazing and attentive waitress to as yellowtail choices she recommended. We tried them all. They were fantastic. Best. Sushi. Ever. Haven't had better in Cali. Or Seattle. It's.... Ya. Icho Izakaya as the overall champ. Our waitress is such a sweet spirit, she checked in frequently. I wish I had gotten her name. My wife and I both talked afterwards about how she pleasant and sweet spirited she was, super helpful and knowledgeable. She was outstanding! I will say, the master chef is busy. Lots of orders come in. And he rotates them so everyone gets part of their order. Be patient. Enjoy your company. Catch up. Slow down. It's so worth it. And as am I am writing this, my wife texts me again. "That sushi was so delicious". Shes right. It was.

For example we were a party of 4 and 3 of us wanted all you can eat and one did not want sushi and they told them they could not or we could not. So 3 of us are willing to spend $31 per person and were told no cause they are afraid one person might get some. Will never come back to this shady greedy place. No wonder they changed their name again.
