The plate turnover rate at this super-fun and reasonably priced sushi boat restaurant is very high, so everything always remains fresh and delicious. Read more about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more

Tiny sushi joint in the Japan Town center. The super fresh sushi floats by on boats - prices are indicated by the color of the dish. You can order "baby scallops" off the menu - delish.

Pretty entertaining place to take some friends who want to see that you have "legit knowledge" when it comes to sushi. The decor and presentation is 💯 but the sushi is 3/5

sit close to the sushi chefs and watch as they place freshly made plates onto the boats, then take those

Amazing sushi but the restaurant is small so it's not suited for large groups
Theresa OngJune 9, 2011
Sushis are generous and a wide variety! Spent about 35 but worth every dollar for what I ate. Fresh and satisfying!

Great spot tight squeeze but entertaining eating and very social
Colin BrownApril 29, 2014
Excellent sushi. Beware the golden plates.
Theresa OngJune 9, 2011
And oh, the boats go by really fast so deft hands required or risk losing your sushis into the deep blue.
Errol ReyesSeptember 25, 2014
The Uni is good here, when available.
Renée VargasJune 2, 2015

The server didn't really understand when I tried to redeem the 4sq special. Don't advertise at the front door if takes fixing the receipt and 5+ mins of explaining to redeem. And I come here a lot.

Once again I was told something different abt the 4sq special. She said she wld take off the edamame but didn't. DON'T OFFER A SPECIAL THEN.
Carlos EatsMay 31, 2010
A perfect place to experiment and try things you have never had before.
JohnMarch 11, 2012
Don't get too carried away or you'll end up with one hefty bill like I did!

The unagi is delicious!

Avoid this place at all cost. I watched the sushi chef pull pre-cut pieces of thawing salmon from between pieces of cheesecloth for my rolls...
RaynaMay 20, 2015
Leaves much to be desired. Namely sushi that hasn't been riding around the room for over 20 minutes. Save your money and go anywhere else.
Jap SukmakanantDecember 29, 2011
I love fresh Salmon Sashimi. Yummy!!!
Chip WhitehouseApril 29, 2012
NEVER eat here when they are about to close. The waiters will be extremely rude and all the boats will be empty. They also will not hesitate to make you feel as uncomfortable as humanly possible.
