    Bento Box chicken Teriyaki with mixed Tempura.
    Jackie R.

    Came here during the week between the hours of 6 to 7 pm. My son was craving Ramen. Sadly was one of the worst Ramen's we have tried. I had the bento box and the chicken was not good and the spicy tuna roll was just overly spicy and meh. I was not impressed by any of the food. Even the side salad that comes with the bento box was not good, typically I like the tempura and side salad just not here. There was only one other table of customers before us (a family of about 8). The adults were talking pretty loud and I can hear their conversations about other people's relationships from across the room. No other customers came in during the time we were there. Maybe they were having an off day. Maybe they have different cooks during certain times of the week that are better but I don't think I will come back here unless someone brought me and treated me to eat here to give them another chance. We didn't finish the food just paid and tipped and left. I ended up having to go to In and Out to get us burgers for dinner. The only thing I really liked here was the nice friendly and speedy service we received.

    Mexican Roll & Sanyo Roll
    Kimberlina J.

    I am such a foodie and I like to try different places just to see how they taste. Today while looking through Yelp I found this small cute sushi place and OMG it's good! I Recommend trying the Mexican roll and the spicy garlic edamame. I have to say for being my first time here the service was absolutely amazing. Thank you Vivian for always being so attentive to me I appreciate you and the excellent service you provided me! Unfortunately, while I was there, I experienced a rude customer and didn't like the way she approached the situation. She could've been much more respectful to Vivian and a bit more understanding. I do have to say Vivian handled it well and killed her with kindness. Honestly, she is what customer service has always represented and we need more of her in the restaurant industry! Lastly,I really liked the inside because it was small and the ambience was beautiful.

    Lunch special with salmon Teriyaki and 4 Pieces California Roll Lunch Special
    Irene B.

    Was in. The mood to try a new sushi place and this was close to work. We were warmly greeted by the waitress and seated right away. The restaurant had plenty of seating and looked clean and homey. We loved that they had lots of lunch special options. We ordered the salmon teriyaki, tempura and California roll lunch special. It came with miso soup and salad. The miso soup was delicious! Not salty at all. Then when our meal came my co workers and I were all impressed by the portions of our lunch ! Definitely worth the price we paid !!the salmon was perfectly cooked and the teriyaki sauce was not too sweet or too salty. The tempura was hot and crispy and the California roll had a perfect ratio of sushi rice to filling . We will be making this sushi place one of our regular lunch options for sure!

    California Roll
    Lupita L.

    What can I say ? I'm addicted like that song and I just can't get enough. I just can't get enough ! Lol No seriously, I am. The rolls taste fresh they always modified my order cuz I can't have flour, no tempura, I'm not crying :,( I mean I am :( I also don't get it fried. Weird ? Maybe but I love it. So basically, it's just a California roll woth cream cheese, and spicy tuna on the outside. Maybe they can name it after me haha The Lupita Roll ! Lol Pssst You need a roll like this in the menu ;) I wish I could order with baked salmon ! That would be yummy too. Hint hint ! First time getting the fried rice. It was a 2fer can't say no. It was good but I think the black stuff on top which looked like sesame seeds were too salty. Check out this place I think it's better than the other place I used to go to. Not saying any names but by Applebees. I just wish they had a Victoria Secret Roll like my first favorite Sushi spot for Holics lol. If you try let me know if you liked what you ordered and if you're a little crazy like me & modified your order. SYOY Let's be friends! I need gluten free friends to go eat ! Ciao ! PS why not a 5 ? I ask for no wasabi nor hot sauce. They keep giving me. I don't want it ! But I do want extra ginger. That's it !

    Lobster Roll
    Angel B.

    Ordered through Uber eats and I'm glad I picked this spot. Everything was packaged nicely and well prepared. Lobster roll: it was actually lobster not crawfish. Really good and the lobster tasted fresh. Spicy tuna roll: fresh, well prepared. Really good as well. Tempura roll: it was buy 1 get one, great price for 2 roll. Big pieces of shrimp tempura inside.

    The wife and I decided to try this for dinner. Great small local sushi restaurant. Very clean and well kept. Servers were very attentive and courteous. Food was amazing. Great flavors, fresh fish. Will definitely be back.

    Spicy edamame
    Mirrella B.

    I stopped by for dinner the other day. The restaurant is very nice inside. There is a lot of beautiful art on the walls. The service was very efficient. In under 5 minutes, I was seated, had water, and an order placed. For the appetizer, I ordered the spicy edamame. I also ordered a sushi set with 8 pieces of sushi from the dinner special menu. I also ordered the Moana Roll from the regular menu. The spicy edamame came out first, along with the miso soup that comes with the sushi set. The edamame was very flavorful. It had garlic and Japanese chilies. The bottom is a bit oily. I suggest tapping off the edamame on the secondary plate provided. The miso soup was good; It was standard in flavor. The sushi set came out next. The fish tasted fresh. I also appreciated the variety of fish served. I enjoyed dipping the pieces in wasabi. The California Roll was good. The avocado made it taste creamy. The Moana Roll was good. I'm not big on sauces on sushi rolls, but the sauce on the roll was good. It tasted like a dressing. The spicy tuna was creamy. I'm looking forward to the next visit and trying different items.

    Sunkissed Roll
    Christine V.

    Cute and clean restaurant and I was surprised at the quality of the fish. No wait time on a weekday lunch. Was promptly greeted and seated They have a good selection of rolls, both fresh and tempera. I do recommend the hamachi sake roll. It's simple but tasted great. The sun kissed roll has a lot of sauce on it, which I found a bit strong. Lots of pickled onions on top which were nice to snack on. Each piece of fish is the sashimi combo is very fresh. Would definitely get again. They have lunch combos as well which I'll be sure to try in the future. Will be returning in the future to satisfy my sushi cravings.

    The price is very reasonable and their food is of good quality and good volume. I will definitely go back for eat-in and to-go!

    Miso Soup
    Courtney B.

    By far my favorite Sushi restaurant in town. We routinely order the garlic edamame & gyoza to start.. both delicious. Sushi rolls are always fresh, delicious, and beautifully displayed. Staff is friendly and attentive in this smaller restaurant, where crowds are never too big. I have yet to have a bad meal or experience here.. highly recommend for a local sushi night out.

    The garlic edamame is always perfection
    Jenny E.

    The asparagus roll and Alaskan roll are so delicious. My kids and I love going here for sushi. The owner is very nice and goes above and beyond with her costumer service.

Do not make the same mistake I did. This place is empty for a reason. Now I get to go home hungry and moderately upset. Update: 8:05pm, I do not want the appetizer. I'm leaving.

There aren't many ramen places where you can grab a bowl without leaving your car, which makes this local gem a convenient option when you're craving something warm and comforting. I tried the miso ramen, and while it was good, I think I'll explore a different broth next time. The noodles were decent, but I prefer the regular wavy noodles and would order those instead. I also added extra bok choy and was hoping it would be cooked a bit more, but it was still enjoyable. The broth was rich and satisfying, though I'd love a little more bamboo shoot and some added spice to really bring everything together. And maybe more mushrooms. The customer service was friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain the differences between the broths, which I appreciated. While this wasn't my perfect bowl of ramen, it was still a solid dinner, convenient, comforting, and exactly what I needed on a cool night. I'll definitely be back to customize my bowl a little differently and see if I can find my favorite combination.

(Which are already made and sitting in a freezer) We were told 25 minutes and so we waited about 20 minutes before I walked in to pick up my (1) roll, the only thing that required someone to make it. The front reception area was chaos with large parties waiting to be seated and scattered smaller groups of 3 or 4. I bypassed all that to get to the front and instead of a person is a tablet. All the human workers were scrambling around which told me they were "behind". I asked a worker about my phone order and she told me five minutes and took my payment. 35 minutes later I'm still waiting among the crowd who are also waiting to be seated. Workers are scrambling around like they just got trained that day. Confused looks and panic ruled the evening. Workers continued to jog past me to handing out drinks and trays of items and never checking back in with the small crowd. Confusion over clarity remained the theme as large parties asked why they haven't been seated yet. Small parties asked when they would be seated and I waited for (1) roll. A purely bad experience from start to finish from a place I've enjoyed in the past. The moral of the story is to expect the unexpected. Even though I've had pleasant experiences in the past here, I have to report the details of this visit based on its own merits and not prior visits. I ended up with my roll and it seemed like it was sitting back there somewhere ignored, like the groups waiting to be seated. It seemed not so fresh and like it was made 25 minutes earlier.

When he got to us he had his hands all over our table and my shoulder with his hands and the staff were too scared to do anything about it. Lucky I was able to talk the guy into going back outside. But the worst part of the experience was coming home and waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get far away from the toilet for what is now at this time been 6 days and I'm still in the bathroom at least once in hour. Went to the doctor yesterday and he told me I have salmonella. And it all makes sense because I remember telling my wife while we were eating that the fish on all the sushi's were not cold at all. And had little to no flavor. Like they had been sitting out for hours possibly days. I have missed an entire weeks worth of work which hurts my family financially as well which really sucks. But feeling like complete crap for 6 days and counting is miserable. I pray nobody else got sick the same night we were there but there was only 2 other tables with about 5 people other than my wife and I in there. So hopefully it didn't spread to far. Please do not eat sushi here! I do not want anybody to have to live through what I have had and still continuing to deal with. There are many other places that are priced better and taste a heck of a lot better. Plus you won't go home with salmonella.
