I've been coming to this sushi restaurant for over a decade, and it's easily one of my personal favorites. I first started visiting back in high school, occasionally walking here after school, and now it's become a regular spot for my family--we dine here at least every other month. The sushi rolls are consistently delicious and savory, with fair portions. Their appetizers are also worth mentioning: they serve the best agedashi tofu I've had at any sushi restaurant--it's perfectly crisp on the outside and silky inside. The lava bites are warm, crispy, and a satisfying treat while you wait for your sushi. The chefs are friendly and approachable. You can sit near them, watch them prepare your sushi, and even strike up a conversation. There are also TVs showing sports games, adding to the casual and welcoming vibe. The restaurant is small and cozy, which gives it a homey feel, but the service can be hit or miss. Servers have rotated frequently over the years, and they tend to be on the younger side--similar in vibe to Dutch Bros employees. Some have been exceptional but are no longer around, while others are clearly inexperienced, often hiding in the kitchen or chatting with coworkers, making it harder to get their attention. There's currently one standout server who consistently provides prompt and accurate service, but the newer staff could use improvement, as they sometimes come across as distracted extroverts who struggle to divide their attention between customers and coworkers. Be mindful of the restaurant's hours: it's closed from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM and closes at 9:00 PM, so don't expect to be seated if you arrive close to closing time--you can still order takeout, though. Lunch hours are quieter with usually just one chef taking orders, but dinner (especially on weekends) can be extremely busy and lively, with wait times sometimes reaching 30 minutes. I've also attended special events here, which they advertise on their Facebook page. I've been to an omakase night ($100 for 10 courses -- I included photos of most of them) and a spicy night (featuring dishes with increasing spiciness). Both events were lively, interactive, and wholesome, with free sake offered--a fun experience, but spots fill up fast, so booking in advance is a must. The owner also offers catering for events, which keeps him busy, but he's active on social media and regularly shares customer experiences. This restaurant's cozy and familiar vibe may not be for everyone. If you're not a regular or prefer a quieter setting, you might feel a bit out of place. But for me, it feels nostalgic and welcoming--a place filled with memories and consistently great food. read more
