Thankfully I came in and saw this place also sells poke bowls! We ordered two poke bowls and you can sub your toppings if you want other ones. I got the Super Bowl and it was more than enough as I had leftovers. The volcano roll was decent. The crab ragoon was pretty good. The customer service and quickness of the service was AMAZING! It's a small place def a grab and go spot but we did sit and eat here. They were take out busy but super efficient with everything. The place felt clean. The parking is small in the front but there are other shared parking spaces as it's next to Shaws grocery store. For two bowls, two appetizers, two drinks it was about $65.00. I think it's good for fresh sushi grade fish and quick service.

The food speaks for itself; it's fresh, delicious, and prepared in a way that feels like the animal was respected from start to finish. The service is attentive and quick, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. The inside seating area is small, but when the weather is nice the outside seating is pleasant. I have yet to attend the omakase, but I cannot wait! This is the type of spot where you'd want to keep it for yourself because it's such a cozy and delicious experience, but you also want the business to thrive!

We did the omakase, which is best to make reservations so he can prepare. The omakase is served one piece at a time with time slots of 1:30.330 and 830. It's $110 per person and it's 15 courses. Our favorites were the Spanish mackerel, and the giant eye red snapper. Everything else was really good, but those two stood out as our favorites. You can also order the omakase à la carte, but best to give it some time to prepare because each piece is intricate. We look forward to trying if everything on the menu!

I ordered the Hibachi Steak Bento dinner and was really surprised by how much food you get. In addition to the bento box there was a mushroom soup, salad, and egg roll. The soup was an unexpected favorite & perfect temperature. The salad was basic - lettuce, tomatoes and shaved carrots. The box itself was fresh and delicious. A bonus was that there was enough to have for lunch the next day. I'll definitely be back!

The sushi was to be expected given the price point. It was good but not amazing, and did the trick and was satiating. The eel sauce didn't taste great but the other rolls and sushi were fine. They even gave us a couple small cups of mochi ice cream which was so nice of them! This is a takeout only spot, there was only one small table in the dining area.

They offer a wider variety of sauces and toppings than most poke places around, which makes it stand out. We tried the Chicken Karaage (great crisp and really well-fried), miso soup (solid), a spicy tuna sushi-rito, and a custom poke bowl. Portions are generous, and the value is really solid for what you get. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving poke or want something a little different than the usual.

Also an assortment of Japanese beverages and snacks available for purchase as well. Excellent service in a streamlined fast-casual setting, and a very spacious interior dining atmosphere with more than enough tables - I feel that the main room can also host events or performances. Childhood buddies with the proprietor, Yusan Wu and his cousin Lifan Wu runs front of the house. Most highly recommended, and in the awesome neighborhood of Melrose!

I opted for the salt and pepper calamari and a side of white rice. The calamari was decent, but it lacked a lot of flavor. I didn't taste any salt, although it did come with green and red peppers, fried onion/shallot. These were quite different from what I'm used to. We also ordered crab rangoon, which was flavorful and had a sweet cream cheese filling. The server was not attentive. He didn't check on us to see if we needed anything. The restaurant is small but clean. However, for the price and portions, I wouldn't recommend it.

All fine in their own right, but not exactly the environment you think of when selecting a sushi restaurant. Then, just to enter, you need to find the entrance behind a support column and take an elevator up to the second floor. So right off the bat it's a bit strange. That being said, once we were seated for AYCE, everything was superb. The server would bring us a new order card immediately after we ordered each round of food and checked back often ensuring we never had to wait very long for the next round of food to come out. The entire menu was available...sushi, sashimi, rolls (including the special rolls), apps, soups, salads, and hibachi. The sushi wasn't elite, but absolutely fresh and tasty. And the wine is very reasonably priced. There is also a hibachi area of the restaurant that we didn't visit, but we could hear it. It was loud and full of families and it sounded like the chefs were putting on a good show and everyone was enjoying themselves.
