Cozy spot for sushi -- was very peaceful inside and smelled like jasmine which I loved. We got the sushi platter for 2 which was like a casual omakase experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! For around $40 pp (post tip/tax) it's a fun experience trying all the different cuts of fish. I liked how each piece of fish had toppings and unique flavors. The garlic and shiso pieces were some of my favorites. The fish to rice ratio is great and the fish tasted very fresh. The platter also comes with maki and california rolls (some with eel pieces). I do wish they explained which fish was which though, as we had no idea what we were eating (still tasty nonetheless). Left very full and satisfied! Service was a bit slow but was friendly. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon at about 1:30pm. Place was empty but that is likely because of the road construction on Geary and everyone being at the Pride Parade. By the time we left there were two other tables. Food was decent, service was good. We order the Spider Rainbow roll which tasted good and fresh but we only received 5 very thin slices. It felt like we paid full price for half a roll. Not happy about that. Sorry, forgot to take a picture so you'll have to take my work for it, but pictures online already show the roll are not full. Also order their chicken teriyaki and tonkatsu bento box. Loved the tonkatsu as the pork was still juicy and then breaded coating was so light and crunchy. The proteins were quite yummy. There was way too much dressing on the salad. Marinades cucumbers in the salad was a nice refreshing touch. Also ordered the beef teriyaki and tempura bento box. Beef was a perfect medium rare. Yum. Decor was mostly pictures of food, some hanging paper lanterns and umbrellas, and empty bottles of Japanese drinks. A bit over crowded for my taste but the place is clean and comfortable. Would recommend and will be back. read more

Toyama Sushi - 4. Chicken Teriyaki & Tonkatsu - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Just okay sushi, the fish didn't taste super fresh. For ~$18 a roll, they don't give that much fish with the rolls either. But the staff is friendly and quick! Dishes (ranked by best): 1) Cherry Blossom 2) SF Giants: crab filling with salmon on top 3) Double Hamachi: tuna on top was good, but the tuna inside is just ok Logistics: -Accepts cc -Plenty of indoor seating -Street parking only read more

Went for lunch yesterday. Clean, cozy, has all the comfort food items you would expect from a restaurant. Fast, friendly and they let us just hang out and chat when we were done. No rush for us. We all ordered bento lunch specials that included rice, salad, miso soup and we all had a variation of tempura, salmon teriyaki, salmon sushi, and unagi. And a scoop of green tea ice cream at the end. Reasonable. Good and tasty. read more

Got seated right away on a Wednesday night, the owners were very nice - gave great service. I ordered the 49ers roll and a spicy scallop maki. The scallop in both my rolls were cut into large pieces which is very nice, they weren't skipping out on their fish. Everything was fresh and delicious! read more

Toyama Sushi - 49ers Roll - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Highly recommend! I'm choosy about sushi spots, goes double for this location that long ago was one of my favorite spots, Nagano. Toyama Sushi rises to that level of excellence with ultra fresh fish sliced generously for sashimi and combined uniquely into many types of house rolls. Loved the Tuxedo Roll ($17.95) with crab, avocado topped with super white tuna, scallop and black tobiko. The thick slices of hamachi and otoro sashimi ($29.95) were a delicious splurge. Service was impeccable, warm and attentive. The restaurant's nicely decorated and cozy, perfect for dinner for two or a small group. Located on Geary a few doors down from Arguello in The Inner Richmond. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening! Excellent food. I was a huge fan of the garlic sake poke appetizer and so strongly recommend that item over any of the rolls I tried. The chef really pours his heart into the rolls and he actually interacts with customers if you talk to him. It's equally fun to watch him make his rolls and eat them at the same time. Overall, I want this place to do well and I'm willing to overlook a lot of the nitpicking, 5/5 from me! read more

I got the sushi for 2 and would not return for a couple reasons. 1. Over half of them were overly fishy and I had times it was difficult to eat 2. The rice was too warm and my sushi felt almost uncomfortably warm at times, but I realized that the sushi counter fridge was often left open 3. The rice was a bit more gummy than I would like, felt more like a hard stacked rice ball that was a tad bit too sweet. 4. A lot of sauce on each piece felt like it was overpowering or trying to hide something about the fish. Service was good and ambiance was more like a mom and pop shop that I really loved. Cozy like a home and nothing overtly curated. Maybe would come back here to get basic rolls, but not sushi itself. Though I will say, for the price this leans on the more acceptable side. read more

Found this place from other Yelpers and so glad I did. Came here on a Sunday evening for early dinner at 5:45pm with my dad and daughter. We were the first ones seated but soon others started coming in at 6pm and by 6:30pm all tables were full. The sushi was fresh and yummy. The service was also attentive and the rolls came out quite quickly but probably because we were the first ones there. The interior was also nice and inviting with lots of nice decor with flowers and sake and beer bottles on the walls. The prices were also quite reasonable for sushi and for the city. We ordered various rolls such as SF Giants, Niners and spider roll. Will definitely be back again when I'm in the mood for sushi in the city. Parking was very easy when I was there since I got a metered spot right in front of the restaurant. Score! read more

Toyama is always amazing. I don't have a picture now, but my favorite thing to order is the Sushi for 2 for me and my fiancé. The staff is nice and friendly. Inside is a little dark and romantic with some tv's around. The sushi chef is so nice and friendly. He works so hard I see him every time. We come back all the time and that will not stop. Also, this place is so good and open later than other places! read more

Customer service 5 star Really appreciated the chef tried to talk me through difference between two dishes. Also, curtesy call when my order was ready earlier than stated Restaurant is bright and cheerful, appears clean. Slices of fish are beautifully displayed. I ordered White Tiger roll and The boat (assorted sashimi and Nigel) Slices are thick and juicy appearance. Prices are good. Area for improvement would be actual selection of fish. The fish was not high grade fish, not choice parts of the fish. If you don't eat sushi often, You might incorrectly think, fish not fresh. It's fresh but lower grade selection. The miso soup is rich and creamy delicious 5+ Funny, but one of the best miso soups I've tasted. I now wonder if I should have tried their ramen? The miso is excellent. read more

First time here. Food was pretty good. Inventive rolls that are tasty. The tobiko was good and the hamachi sashimi melted in my mouth! The cucumber suonomo salad was made with regular cucumbers--the dressing was different and yummy, but the cucumber slice seemed to have a gelatinous center. Edamame was good. Ramen was decent. Kiddo liked it. read more

Sometimes it takes friends to open one's eyes to what else is out there. This was the case on DST Saturday after watching an eventful Warriors game. My friend found a restaurant with a large menu to allow our party of six choices for our late dinner. The restaurant closes at 10 am but do note the kitchen closes at 9 am for cooked foods. We placed our orders at the deadline due to traffic issues in getting here. We shared a few sushi rolls and an appetizer with our individual meals. I ordered the agedashi tofu (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=CF8KlJijnBIfj5XEbctoVA), a generous and eye-catching presentation that tasted as good as it looked. The large tofu pieces were temperature hot so do be careful in biting in. I also tried to the spicy tuna hand roll (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=yF7jRasA4XMXyHVO7BVcbA); this was a different take as the tuna came in chunks and the spiciness was on the subtle side. My main meal was the beef teriyaki and sashimi (sake) bento box (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=zjzSfhm4pr5O5YZmgu0xFA). It comes with miso soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=YSYtQIW30Zv4fvCDbvkIVA) and green tea ice cream. I enjoyed this, especially the beef which paired well with the rice. I wish maguro is an option though the salmon slices were fresh and generous. I am glad our waitress and the sushi chef owner were persistent in reminding us that the kitchen closes at 9 pm due to the shared tenants (residential) in the building, a typical concern in SF. The dining room was half full when we were seated a little after 8 pm. Our dining companions were stuck in traffic (actually trying to exit a parking structure) and made it to the restaurant just before 9 pm. Street parking was not very difficult as I found a metered space around the corner. Thanks to Jun and Michelle for taking our orders, bringing our food, and refilling our tea cups and water glasses. Big thanks to Dayson, the aforementioned chef owner for being frank with us in ensuring we had an enjoyable meal. Extra thanks for pointing out that, due to our party size (6), the gratuity was already added. Doing the 'Asian thing's in paying the bill while returning from my restroom stop, I didn't look at the itemization and added an additional gratuity. He removed my addition in spite of my plea to add it on. As we continued to discuss the restaurant's background, we learned that he came from that popular South Bay sushi place with multiple locations that rhymes with "umami". We will be back. read more

Stopped in here on Friday eve for a quick bite. Friendly service! Fresh delish food. We enjoyed the Bento Boxes which were so so amply filled a cucumber salad, lots of rice, I had the tempura and the tonkatsu! So tasty and served with a miso soup and dessert. Wish we had tried the sushi all plates looked artfully curated as they passed our table. We will definitely be back. read more

This is not a review about the food, more so the service Walked in at 8pm to have dinner by myself, noticed there were some open bar seats however there's a huge sign at the front that says "please wait to be seated" - so I did. I waited 10 minutes. The waiter walked past me at least 6 times, didn't acknowledge me once, made eye contact with me a few times but didn't say a word either times. A party of 2 walked in and waited behind me, as they walked in a table cleared up and finally the waitress started walking towards us... I pointed "1" and she proceeded to look past me to the couple who had JUST walked in, put up "2" and sat them first. Having open bar seating, a table opening up - she decided to sit the couple who had just walked in rather than the customer who she saw walk in 10 minutes ago. It was ridiculous to the point where parties who were already eating, noticed she sat down the couple who walked in and they out loud said "wow I can't believe she sat down the couple when she's been waiting for a while now"... I was super upset, I walked right out as they also watched a new customer who could've potentially tipped her twice what the bill says, instead she chose to look past that customer. Working in food as my past jobs, acknowledgment is a good start if you know you're busy and can't attend right away. Very disappointing as I was very excited to try the food. read more

They had so many options on the menu and I really liked that they had pictures of the rolls. I'm more of a nigiri person and I really enjoyed the options I chose.

Me and my partner eat a lot of sushi, and Toyama is honestly the best we've had in SF. Their nigiri is on another level--so fresh and perfect every time. Sitting at the bar and getting the chef's omakase is a must. He has his own style that's just genius. A real hidden gem. read more

Great customer service, quick to seat, food came out fast, fish was fresh and the chawanmushi was hot/delicate. My biggest issue was that the rice was hella mushy and they didn't use sushi rice. The rice seemed as if it was left over night in water, which turned it into paste. Unfortunately, my order consisted majority of rice and it was pretty gross. Such a shame... the simplest of details affected the meal so much. read more

My family and I were searching for something to eat late around 9PM on a Thursday and this was one of the only restaurants open in the Richmond. We got seated immediately and then they gave us some free cucumbers to munch! I ordered all rolls and I did see other reviews that talked about the freshness of their nigiri so maybe that would've been the better choice & maybe I could've liked this place more. We ordered 4 rolls: - MAYBE Super Q Roll / Marine Boy Roll (I had a hard time figuring out what I ordered because the photos I took of the food didn't match up with the menu / too many things look similar. Both were baked rolls and just tasted mid because pieces would be falling apart and overkilled with the sauce. - SF Giants Roll (3/5 - honestly not sure if this was what we actually got because there were lemon slices on top of the salmon but nowhere on their menu has rolls with lemon slices or I misread ???) - Tuxedo Roll / (2/5 - I enjoyed most of this dish but something that they didn't mention from the menu was that they add this mango sauce which ruined the flavor palette of the entire roll; I get having unique sauces are good but there was already spicy sauce and mayo so the mango overpowered everything) Overall, I feel like they douse their rolls with sauce which killed it for me and each piece would be falling apart: just not a roll place I guess. read more

Came at around 6:30pm on a Thursday and got seated right away. Food was ready in no time, and I was very, very impressed. In terms of quality, I'd put this in my top 3 of all sushi places I've tried in SF so far. My favorite was The Boat. It was essentially a 10 piece Omakase with various assortments of Sashimi mixed in. The Sashimi was very high quality; both the tuna and salmon were very fresh and flavorful. The Nigiri was a little less impressive, but still solid nonetheless. The overall presentation was phenomenal. (5/5) The Yosemite Roll was really solid. Nothing special, but a somewhat unique roll featuring tuna deep fried in tempura and topped with Masago. It's one of the cheaper options on the menu, but was still very tasty and filling. (4/5) Overall, the interior was very nice and felt authentically Japanese. I loved the decor, and it made the whole eating experience much more enjoyable. read more

I just tried Toyama recently after having it on my bookmarks for a while! I came with a friend to celebrate her birthday and we both ordered the $50 omakase platter. The sushi chef let us know it may take a while, so he suggested to order an appetizer like the hamachi kama. We did end up ordering it and it was a nice starter to tie us over until the omakase was ready (which actually wasn't that long). The omakase here is worth the wait, with generous cuts of fresh fish with equally delicious toppings like uni, shiso leaf, ikura, etc. I also appreciated that they provided fresh wasabi instead of the gummy textured stuff. My only gripe was that the waitress that delivered our omakase didn't know what each of the fish was. By the end of our meal we were just chatting and we saw a cockroach on the wall next to us :(... Regardless, the sushi was delicious, but I don't think i'd come out of my way to come back. read more

The service we received was awful. The waiter who had trouble understanding simple requests kept making faces at us like we're asking weird things. We just asked to split an adult order into 2 plates for our 2 kids. We had to wait for a long time or keep waving to get any attentions from our waiter. We had to ask for check multiple times sitting there waiting. They didn't bring our drinks either. Quality of the food was alright for sushi and bland for chicken katsu. read more

When I'm in the mood for some sushi rolls, I can always rely on Toyama for big rolls at very reasonable prices. As much as I love a classic sushi meal with just nigiri and sashimi, Toyama makes me crave loaded saucy rolls because they make them so good. The fish is consistently fresh, and even the sushi rice is well made. If you're ever in the Richmond area and craving Japanese food, give Toyama a try! I personally have never dined there in person before, but you can place phone orders for pickup and order for delivery via Doordash! read more

I had the Omakase and a double hamachi roll with a miso soup. All of it was spectacular, and came beautifully presented.

We were in the city to enjoy a nice spring picnic in Golden Gate park and our tradition is to always picnic with sushi. We ordered the Sushi for Two and wow, we were amazed! The quality, attention to detail, the craft our sushi chef performed, and warm hospitality made it to be all around amazing. Fresh pieces, quality of fish was amazing. I called them to place the order because it says they close at 3. CORRECTION* - they are full open all day but from 3-dinner is when the kitchen is closed, but sushi is okay to dine in or togo. We were the only ones there around 2:30pm, so the hostess/server and chef had time to chit chat with us and he curated us the most beautiful box. Definetly try them out, it's warm and cozy inside. Great for date nights or with friends and family. And they open pretty late! Thank you for the complimentary miso soup as well! Much love, you made our date day unforgettable! read more

Came on a Sunday shortly after lunch and there were only 2 other parties with plenty of open seating. We ordered shortly after being seated but food did take some time to come out - was only 1 server and 1 sushi chef working. We ordered... - dragon roll: tempura + eel sauce - double hamachi roll: yellowtail + avocado - sushi boat: 8 pc nigiri, 6 pc maki, 9 pc sashimi - nabeyaki udon - seafood, egg, tempura + udon The rolls and udon were fine. My favorite item was the sashimi and nigiri from the sushi boat. I will say, I didn't love some of the flavor pairings of the nigiri... for example, some of them had hidden wasabi or siracha under the fish which is not my preference (personally have a very low spicy tolerance) - a tip about that when being served would have been nice. I thought the fish quality was great though; the fish just melted in your mouth! Overall 4/5 stars: -0.5 star because took a bit longer for each team to come out -0.5 star because some of the cups and plates weren't the cleanest. I had lipstick stains on my cup and leftover grease on my soy sauce tray... read more

First of all you want to get a seat the bar where the chefs create their masterpieces. Extreme skill and speed and each dish I saw I was in awe of .I repeatedly told my date I hope ours look like that! There is a bit of a wait as the place is quite popular and seemingly these two chefs are plating everything ( maybe not the soups but the sushi is the thing here). I got the galaxy roll and she got the bee . They were incredible and aesthetically awesome these are hearty rolls and the portions are generous. It isn't exactly cheap you're probably going to spend 20 bucks or more with tip but well worth it . Highly Recommended. read more

FRESH QUALITY SUSHI FOR AFFORDABLE PRICING! BEAUTIFUL AND FUN CREATIONS by Chef Dason. 11/16/23. I called to book a reservation for two for my boyfriend's birthday for a Tuesday and a nice gentleman named Ronald gave his best exceptional customer service! He even added in a somewhat jokingly manner, 'Oh so if it's a celebration, you should open up a bottle!'. He definetly brought a smile to my face =) Unfortunately, they are closed every Tuesdays so I couldn't book it on the day of my boyfriend's birthday and booked it earlier. They are all nice and very accommodating! The waiters and waitresses are young and I can tell they are still learning. That's ok because they're willing to put in the effort. Effort is every thing! Being a patient customer goes a long way. I wanted to sit at the bar to see and video what Chef Dason was making but it would be too close to him. I didn't want to be all up in his face so I chose Table #9 which is right across from him. We could still see some action. Thanks Chef Dason for checking in on us! During our omakase, he recommended to only get 1 omakase and try other fishes so we can have a complete experience but he said that's ok cause he wants us to come back lol. 5/5. $50+ OMAKASE Experience: WOWWW!!! Phenomenal FUN sushi creations =) FRESH FISH!!! Also, I think because Chef Dason knew it was my boyfriend's birthday, he gave us thick cuts of fish and OH BABY!!! My boyfriend and I were happily full. *They will not tell you what type of fish, ingredients and or sauce but you can ask! I was expecting to order a lot more other entrees cause I thought the omakase would be your average size ngiri and would not fill us up but damnnn it was very fulfilling and WE LOVED IT!!! 5/5. $20+ OYSTER LOVER (3 pieces): OMG!!! Phenomenal FRESH OYSTERS and BUTTERRY UNI =) I wanted to order more but was too full from the omakase. 5/5. CUCUMBER APPETIZER ON THE HOUSE: I changed the schedule of our reservation to 6PM instead of 5PM because I thought we were gona be late but we came in at 530PM. They gave us a cucumber appetizer for the wait but the wait for our dinner wasn't even long. I probably didn't even notice cause my bf and I were happy and excited that we're having this experience here. Plus we had funny ass conversations lol 5/5. AMBIANCE: Beautiful decorations every where. There is definitely a lot to look at and won't get bored of it. It reminded me of a cozy, colorful Japanese izakaya with lots of bottles every where. Fun! Also, they play bomb ass songs here. I thought it was really sweet while we were eating our omakase, the song KC & JoJo- All My Life was playing. Not sure if that was coincidence or they played that song on purpose for us? Awww.. We mos def will be coming back to try the boat next time. WE APPRECIATE EVERY ONE HERE =) Shout out to Ronald and Chef Dason!!! Ya'll are fcuken AWESOME!!! Much Love Happy Sushi Eats ya'll! read more

Went today for lunch. Many items were fresh and tasted good. Ordered the #2 lunch bento with salmon sashimi, hamachi nigiri, and spicy tuna roll. This is a premium meal option at almost $25. This was a mistake. The spicy tuna roll came out brown, soggy in mayonnaise and fish looking old and discolored. Hamachi nigiri had an inhumane amount of wasabi applied running the first nigiri before I could scrape it off for the second. For the spicy tuna roll, it did not meet my criteria off attempting a bite. I tried to send it back and ask for exchange for a salmon maki as I did not wish to see another attempt at spicy tuna if they would allow something like this to come out. Unfortunately the English of the staff was not the greatest. Server thought I was asking if the roll was a salmon maki and did not understand my concern. She brought the chef out who I explained my issue with the color to. He tried to tell me the color was normal because it was sitting in the sauce. Not sure if he understood my exchange request but left without any other consideration on the roll which looked like dog food on avocado. Spicy tuna should be red not brown and not a good sign if a chef lets that come out. Many other dishes at our table were fine and tasty but this was not. read more

Toyama Sushi - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

You know, there must be something about this space. Whether it be Toyama or either of their most recent predecessors (Nagano Sushi and New Nagano Sushi), I just seem to have an affinity for whatever Japanese restaurant that happens to be calling this location home. Either that or, you know...I'm just a sucker for neighborhood Japanese restaurants like this. Especially those that serve some tasty looking sushi rolls and nigiri! Much like their aforementioned predecessors, Toyama flies a bit under the radar. It's pretty easy to see why - it's got a friendly, approachable vibe, but nothing stands out either. Similarly, the menu doesn't jump off the page in any which way, but it offers a wide slate of options. Whether it be their apps, bentos, entrees, or udon/ramen, there's a lot of hot dishes to choose from, but what has always caught my eye are their sushi offerings. Not only do they have a bunch of rolls (both typical and more unique), but their nigiri always looks so enticing! -- SALMON BELLY NIGIRI...$7.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=s5Dun0lGVXz0uZZL5wiMtw) I love salmon sashimi, so no surprise that I loved this. The cut was generous and the salmon had just the right fattiness to it. That being said, I would've been okay with less sauce on top. -- SF GIANTS ROLL - Scallop and Crab Meat Topped with Salmon and Masago...$14.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=E5NoYuk7NEJ0wyQRP8WG6Q) This is usually my type of roll, and there was nothing "bad" about it, but this was just okay. It was topped with a good amount of salmon, but I couldn't taste much of the scallops - just a lot of imitation crab instead. -- KOALA ROLL - Salmon Skin, Avocado, Tomago, and Green Onion Topped with Red Snapper, Unagi, Green Tobiko, Spicy Sauce and Unagi Sauce...$14.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=Ig86Dsx0TpY8t5QlWLpCoQ) I don't often get cooked rolls anymore, but this was actually pretty good! The unagi was meaty, the salmon skin was crispy, and I liked how the snapper had a bit of char. -- OCEAN TROUT NIGIRI...$8.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=-dmi1H_d9IXVTmXAaxY5Mw) Like with the salmon belly, this was terrific - and maybe even tastier! Not only were the cuts just as long, but I loved how fresh it was and how it wasn't quite as oily as the salmon. Delicious! -- SPICY SCALLOP HAND ROLL...$7.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=TAwb08PhBrWWy7i4HebvMw) I typically like spicy scallop hand rolls, but this was disappointing. The mix of flavors wasn't bad, and the scallops seemed pretty decent. but it was a little heavy on the mayo (and not very spicy). -- NATURAL SILK ROLL - Cucumber, Smoked Salmon, and Avocado Topped with Fresh Tuna, Avocado, and Spicy Mayo...$14.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=7JT5BzFdfwUcK3-nUZmpDQ) Honestly, this sounded better than it looked/tasted. Unfortunately, I just couldn't taste much of the smoked salmon or the tune underneath all of the spicy mayo (unagi or wasabi sauce might've worked better). -- TITANIC ROLL - Shrimp Tempura and Cucumber Topped with Tuna, Salmon, Crab Meat, Masago, Sesame Seeds, Mayo, and Spicy Sauce...$15.45 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=iMwnDji40dewr3R1R4yIVg) I've had this twice now and it was better the first time. The roll was fairly plump both times and tasted fine, but there was notably less imitation crab and tobiko the second go around. -- CHICKEN KATSU DON...$12.95 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=sBqhsuyXKoQsYfNuWTiOwA) Ugh...I really wish places would put the katsu on top of the eggs. Although, even crispier katsu might not have saved this. Mostly, it just tasted rather generic and I didn't care much for the choice of veggies/tomatoes. -- CHEF'S OMAKASE - Chef's Selection of Nigiri (10pcs)...$50 (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/toyama-sushi-san-francisco-2?select=KVnnwVOi-QGuaJXL-caKIw) Aesthetically pleasing, but I wish they had explained the nigiri. Still, I enjoyed just about everything and I liked that it went beyond the basic offerings (ebi, tamago, etc.). All of the fish were fresh and flavorful, but the salmon with uni, garlic salmon with ikura, and the toro with uni were my favorites. Along with whatever you order, you also get a complimentary starter, which isn't anything amazing (usually an egg roll, but I more recently got cold pickled cucumbers), but certainly appreciated. Also, it's worth mentioning again that if you prefer your nigiri more straightforward and/or traditional, you may want to adjust your expectations, as they're all "dressed" in some way. Although, based on the admittedly small sample size of one dish, I'll probably stick with their sushi regardless (FWIW, my friends enjoyed their udon and bentos). read more
