I cannot recommend this place enough. The ambiance and experience are something to feel in person and watching the dishes being prepared with such precision was fascinating. The sushi is so fresh and just melts in your mouth. What a gem, truly thankful for being able to dine here. I also ordered Unagi but I ate it before I could snap a photo! Lol, it was yummy!

They do not respond to requests for a reservation for next year or the year after! What a terrible way to run a business. Oh, and they stopped doing takeout for sushi also! If you stop by when they are open, they refuse reservations and tell you to call which is futile since they never answer the phone or return messages. To the person who thinks this is acceptable, it is not.

My coworker was craving sushi, and this was the only place we found close to us that was still open…read morefor dinner. Despite the parking lot being quite full, there was still plenty of parking available, and we were seated right away. The menu had lots of options, which made it hard to decide what to order. I went with the Okinawa roll (shrimp tempura and spicy crabmeat inside, deep fried with eel sauce and mayo). My coworkers ordered the Big Island roll and the chirashi don, and they both loved their meals. My Okinawa roll tasted delicious, but it was a little too oily for me - probably wouldn't order it again. The tea I ordered also tasted very watered down, which was disappointing. Service was quick to take our orders, but my food came out way after my coworkers' dishes. Understandable since mine had to be fried, but I ended up awkwardly watching them eat while I waited for my meal to arrive. Overall, a decent sushi spot with good options - just be mindful of what you order and expect some timing issues if you're ordering different types of dishes.

The roll was good, nothing to write home about. Unagi don was good, although slices for the unagi were on the thinner side. Miso soup was nice and hot. Price $$ - Price is fair with the portions that are served. Service 3/5 - Service is average, they did make a round to refill our drinks. Ambiance 4/5 - Interior is good with Japanese themed decor. Overall - Had a pleasant experience and would visit again.

Otherwise, if you arrive after lunch rush you may find a very very limited selection of food. I really enjoyed the spicy inari poke, mochi, garlic chicken and unagi tamago. Their mochi and cheesecake is also a delight. Other items I tried but would not recommend as much include the unagi roll, the shoyu inari poke and the salmon mixed bento. I don't think their bento is where they shine (good but not as good as other items). Out of the bentos I tried though, the mackerel bento was nice. To go only. Eat at the ocean park (5 min drive away). Ambiance casual.

I love the photos on the walls, and there are multiple tables available. Clean and nice. I hope we will have a chance to eat there soon and experience their Aloha
