    This place is amazing! The sushi is absolutely top-tier--everything holds its shape perfectly, tastes incredibly fresh, and is beautifully presented. You can really tell they put care into every detail, from preparation to plating. The restaurant itself has such a great vibe. It's beautifully decorated, giving off a romantic atmosphere that's perfect for a date night or just hanging out with friends. I came here with my brother, and we ordered two miso soups, baked green mussel, a Super Philly roll, two Red Dragon rolls, a Cajun salmon roll with spicy tuna instead of crab, and macaron ice cream for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious--every roll I tried exceeded expectations. I also really appreciated how accommodating the staff were with my celiac needs. They carefully removed soy sauce, tempura, imitation crab, and eel sauce where needed, and made sure everything came out perfectly. My brother even had eel sauce on the side so he could dip. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the entire experience. I'd definitely come back again if I'm in the area--it's a bit of a drive for me, but totally worth it!

    We love this place. It does have great selections. The prices are a little high, but still good quality food we enjoy coming here the staff there are always nice and attentive and kind.. one of our favorite things to order now is the baked salmon roll the spicy tuna roll and the fried chicken cutlet with white rice! Delicious food and enjoy bon appétit

    Been here a few times. The staff are always pleasant and food is fresh. Always a great option to get Japanese in the area.

    Spicy pepper salmon roll - delicious!

    I wanted to try a new sushi spot in the area and glad to have stumbled on Sushiya! The wait is real on a Friday night, so be sure to waitlist on Yelp before coming over. It was an hour for me, but def worth it. The salmon sushi was solid, I would order again. The rice could've been warmer but the fish was fresh and I appreciated that. The salmon avocado really hit the spot for me. Sometimes I just want something basic and this was it! I loved it. Would recommend, the salmon pieces were good too. The eel avocado roll was a bit too sauced for me. I think I'd have to ask for sauce on the side next time if I order it again. The beef teriyaki was pretty sweet and yet a bit too salty for my liking. I would pass on this next time. Although it is a decent amount of food for the cost, especially is you do the two sides and get sushi and a tuna roll like we did! The spicy pepper salmon roll was probably a favorite for me. The flavor combination was great. Love the flavor from the sear and the soy mustard. The chili crunch was a nice crunch and who doesn't love green onions?? I'd def recommend this! All in all, I would come back but I do wish they had more rolls options without imitation crab meat. Come support this business, they have their great ratings for a reason!

    The food is great! I'm not sure how I didn't know about this place before tonight, but it's definitely repeat worthy! This is the Vampire roll.

    We got immediately seated. Food came out quick. Service and food was good. I can't complain! Affordable pricing among sushi places too. Accommodations of no avocado and no green onion was also made without mistake. Nice cozy restaurant with okay parking Everything was nice. Thank you.

    Update: I came back because the food was really good, despite our waitress being a little awkward. Our waitress today was so nice and friendly, and not awkward at all. Our food came out so fast as well, literally one right after the other.

    The vibe inside was so cute and really enjoyed all the decorations! The service was exceptional our sever was very attentive and kept checking on us throughout our whole experience. The food was very yummy and my favorite thing we had was actually the chili oil funny enough! 10/10 we will be coming back again :)

    So glad we came across this place. The sushi is delicious and so fresh. The staff is so nice and the ambiance gives off good vibes. My daughter loved the playlist they had going in the background. Sex after Cigarettes was playing and she was totally into the vibe. We had bento boxes for dinner and a dragon roll. The portions were plenty and we shared all the extras. There was a bit of a wait but nothing to serious. Add your name to the waitlist via Yelp and you're good to go.

    Ask the Community - Sushiya

    Do they have all you can eat and if so how much?

    They don't offer AYCE sushi.

    Are there Happy Hour specials and, if so, what days/times?

    I believe happy hour is on weekdays, but call the restaurant to see if they have happy hours on weekends, too.

    Is this an AYCE sushi place?

    No it's not. However, the portions are more than enough to get the job done. Go in ready to eat. Stay hungry my friends 😋

    Is the sushi bar open to sit at?

    No I don't think they let people sit on the bar

    Came here on a Wednesday around 5:35pm thinking we could just walk in... nope The place was…read morealready mostly full with a lot of reserved tables. There are limited booth seating (about 4 booths), one larger table, and roughly a dozen counter seats. We were a party of 4 with another group of 3 expected at the counter, so we were told next availability would be 7pm. But the owner (also the sushi/master chef) stepped in and offered to squeeze in an extra chair for us at the bar. We happily said yes, and that pretty much set the tone for the night. The ambiance is a cute, homey Japanese-style spot. It's calm and quiet enough to actually have a conversation, which I really appreciated. The owner was also cracking jokes throughout the night and kept everyone entertained, which made the experience feel even more personal. Food highlights: * Eihire (seared stingray fin) - 9/10. Great drinking snack, just wish there was more. * Grilled Angus beef tongue - 9/10. Tender with a really good jalapeño sauce. * Hokkaido uni tray with roasted nori - 10/10. Favorite dish of the night, easily. * Chicken liver, gizzard, and hearts in sweet soy - 10/10. Super rich and flavorful. * Whole grilled seabass - 9.5/10. Perfectly cooked, but could've used more ponzu. * Sous vide + grilled duck breast - 8/10. Solid, especially with salt and hot mustard. The mashed potatoes and roasted veggies on the side were . * Deep fried eel with ponzu - 7/10. Decent, but didn't stand out compared to the other dishes. * Sashimi (amberjack, hamachi, toro, sweet shrimp) - overall great. The sweet shrimp and fried head were 10/10, but the hamachi didn't quite match the rest. Also wish they gave more ginger upfront. * Roasted 5 kinds of vegetables - 7/10. Tasty but a bit pricey for the portion. * Sea snail - the only dish we wouldn't reorder. Not bad, just not our preferred style. Service was excellent. Our server gave great recommendations, kept our water filled, and checked in often without being overbearing. This is a 5-star spot largely because of the owner. Super down to earth, funny, and clearly passionate about both the food and the experience. Parking is free in a shared lot with other businesses. It's a decent size, so should be manageable. Definitely recommend making a reservation (they only take phone reservations)... but even if you don't, there's a good chance they'll still find a way to take care of you. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

Restaurant is located in a small strip mall, with a fair amount of parking. There isn't a flashy restaurant sign in front of the building, and once you step in, it truly feels like you are in a small, homey Izikaya in Japan. The restaurant only has a few booths, a few tables and bar seating inside, so reservations are highly recommended on a busy Saturday night. My boyfriend and I got lucky that they were able to accommodate us within 10 minutes, because there was seating available at the bar. There is a physical Drink menu (sake, beer, etc.) and the food menu can be viewed by scanning a QR code with your phone. The waitress made suggestions about which dishes she personally liked & we ordered whatever she suggested, along with some of the things we thought looked good. *7/10 Toro w/ seaweed *8/10 Moriwase (chef's selection of sashimi) 2 each of 5 different sashimi. There was one cut I did not particularly care for. *7/10 chicken wings *10/10 Beef tongue-- Tender, but firm. Delicious, a must try! *10/10 Ankimo-- creamy and paired well with the ponzu and fresh seaweed *10/10 Fried Seabass-- they served the entire fish, which is rare. *10/10 Sous-vide Duck breast-- must try! *10/10 Nikomi stew--simple, but delicious! *10/10 Matcha Oolong Panna Cotta-- subtly sweet with a smooth texture. It was so good, that we ordered two! The only reason that I only gave it a four out of five stars is because the service was slow. All of our dishes, came out in time, but no drink refills were given and the server never came back to collect our check for payment. So we had to walk it up to them ourselves. For a small space, with three servers, it shouldn't be hard to attend to all the customers. The menu can be pricey, but food is delicious! Along with exceptional service, eating here is worth it.

Although, it's funny everyone mainly comes for the sushi rather than the izakaya food. Love the interior! Modern, sleek, and minimalistic. The restaurant was a lot bigger than I thought since there's patio seating. Parking here is shared with a business complex, which they offer your 2 hr free with validation.

We actually got the rock shrimp tempura first, which this one was pretty nice for the first few bites. Then it was me realizing that the batter was really hard, which I feel like this should be called rock hard shrimp haha. The flavors were good though! The soy garlic edamame came next, which this one was really nice! The soy garlic gives it a nice sweet touch. They also give a good amount. Then came the maguro kajime, this one was really good! Fish was really fresh and everything was so soft. Then came the miso crab salmon, this one was my favorite! Flavors tasted really good fused together, also very soft and fresh! The omakase bowl came last, which definitely was pretty nice. Everything was really fresh and it was nice they offer you seaweed so you can make your little hand rolls with it. The sea trumpet seaweed was really unique, although, I wasn't really a big fan of it after having so much it because it's tasted very oceanic. Actually, the whole omakase bowl tasted really oceanic, which is pretty nice, but personally for me it was too much haha. Everything was really good though! My least favorite may be the rock shrimp tempura, but my favorite was the miso crab salmon.

We've had better at other Japanese restaurants. Like other reviews mentioned, the service is questionable. There were only 2 waitresses for the restaurant. When we sat down, they want us to order everything all together. We later added salmon teriyaki, they took the order, but the waitress was taking to the owner sitting in the back table in Japanese that we are not ordering all at once. Looks like the owner/manager does all the calculations by hand for the check so they don't want people to add on to the order. It's a small restaurant and a bit tight between the tables. Seems like a good amount of regular people come here and pick up to go orders. We are not regulars here so seemed a bit like an outsider.
