I had a very good experience. Food was amazing and and quick. Service was excellent and place was clean. Can’t complain. Happy hour beers are $2 which make it even better

Skip to the last page on the menu for a good, quick lunch sushi special and very cheap draft beer.

The service, food, and portions here are wayyy better than the other location on Foothill Blvd. and I've been constantly going to both for several years!

Having been a frequent customer. I'd prefer going back to the foothill location. The food's better and the server serves better too.

I love their Giant Clams (when they have them). The Asari Clam Noodle Soup is a definite winner.

I've had better sushi and the male waiters were kind of on the rude side but the vibe is awesome.

Ask for the "happy ending menu". Everything on that menu's amazing...but avoid the "Fishy Kamakaze"

Sushi and noodle dishes are average, and so is the service. Not so many Japanese people eat here, if that gives you any clue.

I've been to two different locations and by far the WORST sushi/sashimi place. Ever. Ok service but food is simply sub par.
