Cucumber rolls and sashimi. It looks delicious, right. Last Friday I went there again to taste it. Now delivery only due to covid 19. The taste was still excellent like just ready food even though it was to go. read more

Randomly stopped here for an early lunch before cruising the canyon, and really glad we did! Staff was really kind and friendly, we really enjoyed everyone. The sushi was great, and the lunch special has got to be the best deal in OC! 6 rolls was $45! Seriously, incredible value! Our new lunch spot for SURE! read more

I'm very picky when it comes to Sushi, I can tell the second I walk into a sushi restaurant if it's worth my time or not, and this place hit all the right notes! - the restaurant smelled nice no fishy smell which usually indicates the fish isn't fresh or of high quality. -The ambiance was exactly what I like to see, dim lighting with a classic Japanese aesthetic, feels cozy and immersive. -and don't even get me started on the food, I felt overwhelmed by all the different rolls I wanted to choose, but ended up going with the Maui roll and it was fantastic! I always have to get Miso soup to start and it was the perfect start to a great meal to come! I also got an order of Tuna sushi and Shrimp sushi, which were phenomenal in their own simple right. The cuts of the Tuna where huge and colorful which made them all the more appetizing. -everything came out fast and at no point did I have to ask for any assistance because they were so attentive. In summery, 10/10 read more

Great Seevice, quality fish, wide menu offerings. I'll definitely be returning for another visit.

I love this place so much!!! Friendly service, great food, and reasonable prices. I definitely recommend! :)

I'm honestly shocked this place has such high reviews. The sushi pieces are poor quality. The albacore we had was not good and the attempt to cover up the quality with onions and pepper did not work. The amber jack was still FROZEN, I regret not sending it back. For the price I would think these cuts would be higher quality but are even worse than the cheaper sushi places I go to. All the sushi pieces were chewy. The rolls are decent, but also over priced. Save your money and go somewhere else. Low quality sushi for a high price. read more

3.5 stars We came in for lunch on a Sunday and the place was pretty empty. We seated ourselves at the sushi bar and perused the menu. We decided on the sashimi platter for ~$28 that came with 18 pieces of fish, salmon, albacore, tuna, a couple different white fishes. The pieces were very very big but the fish wasn't buttery. We didn't even eat all of the plate Mixed tempura was a slightly too crispy, not in the flakey delicious way but a hard shell kind of way. The tempura dipping sauce was good The kid got the lunch special with 3 kinds of half sushi rolls and a miso soup for ~$14 he really enjoyed it The box roll had too much rice. It was basically a layer of rice in a box mold topped with minced tuna topped with more rice and then more tuna and avocado. If you like rice then this is for you. I'm not a big fan We also ordered a rice free roll with cucumber it was good Lunch was $95 for 3 people and we didn't even have sake read more

Great service! Clean restaurant! Plenty of seating! We ordered three rolls to feed our hungry muscles after running 17 miles in the Into The Wild Trail Run. All of the rolls tasted freaking great! Our favorite roll was the Sakura Sakura! T -16. Order all of the other rolls first, then get T-16! It's the grand finale! Only problem is, you'll want more! Did you know ginger is an anti inflammatory? There! Now you have an excuse to eat sushi! For instant gratification, order t-16! read more

Food and service are great. Fridays are busy though. Any other night is best. Happy hour is also great but due to crowds it's not offered on Fridays. read more

Love coming in here for lunch! They have awesome lunch specials and are the best sushi in the area!

This used to be our favorite sushi spot. We went frequently. We loved Don who was the sushi chef before because he was a great chef and made us feel welcome. The new chef Landy was arrogant and unfriendly. Unfortunately we don't plan on going back. read more

Our go-to spot for sushi! Busy but never too busy, nice staff, great sushi bar! Fresh with plenty of options.

Friendly service and the rolls were bigger than other local sushi restaurants. I would highly recommend this place.

Amazing service! Awesome food. I had a great time and would definitely recommend coming her for a quick lunch or a dinner date.

If you go this restaurant, try udon and jalapeño roll. Their chemistry was fantastic. I am looking forward visiting there again. read more

The sushi is excellent! Customer service is great. I'll be coming back. Thanks again!

My husband and I came for lunch right when it opened. They honored the BOGO 50% off for lunch on all rolls including the specialty rolls and the new rolls. The chef did a great job. Fish tasted fresh and there wasn't a lot of rice (which is good in my opinion). It came with salad and miso soup. The restaurant has a pretty chill atmosphere. Music isn't loud, it's not dark inside. They have a big sushi bar area if you want to sit there. The bathrooms are really nice and clean. The restaurant is good-sized and you can have a pretty big party come in. Parking isn't hard to find even though it's in a little shopping plaza. I think a lot of the places in the plaza are quick in and out places so people don't park their cars for too long. read more

You guys are always so wonderful! Fast service, delicious food and so friendly. Thank you for making lunch time not only affordable but stress free knowing you're always there :) My favorite dish is the chicken teriyaki bowl. It's always freshly made, the portion size is crazy huge and it tastes DELICIOUS! Their sushi is also to die for (hint: crunch roll). Please give this hole in the wall gem a chance. You won't regret it. read more

The food was delicious and the staff was kind, attentive, and helpful. We really enjoyed our evening.

Definitely worth a trip and such a pleasant surprise. They did all the usual things very well including the Salmon Teriyaki Bowl; Chicken Katsu & Veg tempura lunch special; Shrimp and Veg Tempura lunch special appetizers and my Chirashi Bowl. The fish on the Chirashi was exceptionally good! Only slight negative was that the rice tasted more like regular rice rather than sushi rice. (Suggestion specify that your chiraci should be on sushi rice.) read more

Our neighborhood sushi bar. Good people, good food. Happy hour specials but not available for takeout. I always judge a sushi spot by their salmon roll, and it's very good here! read more

Had our first date here, been coming back almost every week for the past year. Great service and great food. Torrence is our go-to chef, Don always has a smile on his face and ready with a joke lol. The staff at this restaurant is fun to be around and the food is AMAZING. read more

So bomb! I just read a stank ass review and took a chance any way. And I'm so glad that I did! As I'm obeying the sign and waiting to be seated I see that there are only a handful of parties with two chefs and a waitress busy so I sat myself at the bar. I know, I'm a rebel. I went ahead and looked around to see if any one was pretentious enough to object. Lucky for me no one gaf. It's my first time here so I went for a safe bet: dinner combo (your choice of 2 items, comes with miso soup, salad and rice). I figure if it's good I can always order more later. I got the sashimi and sushi, which came out to be 4pc each (see photo). It was fresh, sweet, and delicious! The bad review that I had just read prior to walking thru their door must have been the couple beside me at the bar bc this lady looked annoyed af! I'm not doubting her or her experience. But after reading that review I didn't come in with high expectations of their customer service. I was just hungry and dining solo so just feed me dangnabit! The sushi chefs must have sensed and respected that vibe too because it was about 1.5 hrs before closing. It's dark and raining. They're Asian. And I'm Asian, too, so you know... it's a mutual thing that all of us Asians understand: "Hurry up and buy!" And that is what I did. Right before the check came a sushi chef threw in a lil something extra "on the house". This prompted the other chef uttering something in Japanese, immediately followed with "he's a single!" Hahaha! I'm sure he was just teasing his coworker but hey free delicious sushi?! Made my night!! The place was charming, clean, and the food was on point. Will I come back? You betcha! read more

Normally a great value for good food but the sushi bar experience can be rough. We watched the chef continue to prioritize takeout orders over our own order while we sat there and complained about it to the manager who did not seem to care that we had a bad experience. Even at checkout the best we got was essentially a "sorry you felt that way." Enjoy the meal but don't expect helpful service especially if you're at the bar. read more

We recently moved to the area and this has become our go to sushi place. The food is always outstanding - even to go.
