Chris LaoJuly 6, 2015As a former worker, the happy hour and food is worth it. Even the regular menu is decently priced for what you get. Recommend: hamachi kama
Guj TungpalanSeptember 15, 2015Get the Volcano Roll. I'm a devout traditional sushi person, but this one is indeed cheat worthy. It's basically a california roll with baked scallops.
- The White Dragon Roll is a must. So are any of their Hamachi dishes (appetizer or entree). Don't forget to throw in their hot house sake too! One of the best sakes I have had.
- Get the tuna tataki and kirin beer to wash it down. The combo will cost about $8 bucks during happy hour! Such a deal! Valet or street parking only. SUVs and lifted trucks don't fit in valet :(
- Shou WatanabeMarch 7, 2013Misoyaki Butter Cod is delicious! Add some lemon to enhance its flavor. Doesn't matter if you are a Japanese or not, as long as you appreciate yakizakana, you'd enjoy this dish.
Nadine NMarch 12, 2013If you're planning on enjoying happy hour, it's only available to patrons sitting at the bar or community table. Or else plan on coming in after 9pm when it's available to the whole restaurant.
Jesse LunaApril 11, 2017Our favorites were the Emperor Roll, Misoyaki Butterfish, and Volcano Roll but everything we tried was delicious!
Don't sit at the sushi bar when it's busy. You will not be served in a timely fashion. Order from the sushi maker in front of you and just drink water #serverfail
Len PestanaMarch 8, 2016Busy, busy, busy. even with reservations & 6 sushi chefs, it was a wait. However, it was worth it, this was our dinner before SANTANA!!!
Gregg RomanOctober 28, 2013Try to go during happy hours. They have amazing dishes for fairly cheap prices during those times.
Bethany BMay 17, 2018The tempura ice cream was yummy! Eat it right away though or it will be a little soggy.
jessica seidApril 22, 2013Free street parking on Saturdays Sundays otherwise $3 valet garage parking.- jr juniorMay 2, 2013Ballet parking only, otherwise you have to find street parking & ballet your ass over here.
Joseph TinnerMarch 29, 2013I was expecting to pay more. This place is downtown and has a great environment. I found service to be so so.
