Mike WinstonJune 23, 2015The 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
Rebecca GobersteinMarch 19, 2012Tiny 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.
Brandon 🍣🍶☕️December 30, 2015Pretty 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
AvaJuly 20, 2015sit close to the sushi chefs and watch as they place freshly made plates onto the boats, then take those
Surprisingly good for a cheesy sushi boat place. My goto for a quick fresh sushi stop.
Jinnie LFebruary 2, 2015takoyaki!!!! must try takoyaki ;) sushi is pretty fresh n it's fun to eat here watching floating boats ~
Best when it's busy because the sushi is super fresh. You can make custom orders, too!
Colin BrownApril 29, 2014Amazing sushi but the restaurant is small so it's not suited for large groups
Theresa OngJune 9, 2011Sushis are generous and a wide variety! Spent about 35 but worth every dollar for what I ate. Fresh and satisfying!
Lisandra MaioliDecember 1, 2013You can also order sashimi. Try the hot sake! Perfect place! Love it!

- Theresa OngJune 9, 2011And oh, the boats go by really fast so deft hands required or risk losing your sushis into the deep blue.
IsaMay 18, 2010Try the sashimi and sushi at this sushi bar. Recommend uni sushi and amaebi sushi. Fresh and Taste good!
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.
Katharine Camilli-SuyedaFebruary 5, 2012Check-in special is cool but only available Monday thru Thursday:( boo
- 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.
RaynaMay 20, 2015Leaves 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.
Dan DJuly 19, 2015Avoid 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...
Chip WhitehouseApril 29, 2012NEVER 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.

"Japanese crepe has green tea ice cream, red beans, and macha sauce. Delicious! Make sure you add ice cream to any crepe you get. You need to balance out the dry crispy crepe with something creamy"
