TLDR: Don’t waste your money on the hamachi kama. And maybe skip this place altogether.
We came here for my mom’s birthday because she loves hamachi kama. Six years ago, they served us a burnt, overcooked fish, (which they easily replaced with a well-cooked one) so we chalked it up to bad luck and decided to give them another try. Unfortunately, history repeated itself.
We ordered hamachi kama (interestingly, it’s not on the menu. Maybe now we know why), shrimp and veggie tempura, miso soup, and some happy hour rolls. The Oh Yes Roll was actually good, and the other two rolls and tempura were decent. The miso soup, though, was too salty.
To our pleasant surprise, the first hamachi kama (pictured) was tasty. Good size, not burnt, soft and moist. My brother even ate the skin. We enjoyed it enough that my mom wanted to order a second one, and we got dejavu when it came out burnt. And no, not a char, as in the skin was completely burnt like it was cremated. All three of us took a single bite and immediately knew it was inedible. The inside was dry, rubbery, and just plain unpleasant.
We sent it back and told our server (who, to be fair, was very kind and attentive). But we overheard the chef in the back getting visibly salty and offended, which felt incredibly unprofessional. The server asked if we wanted it remade, but we’d already lost our appetite and wanted to go back to turn the day around with some cake, so we just asked for the check. She told us we’d be charged whether we had it remade or not, so we begrudgingly agreed to wait. Then she came back saying they would remake it, but that was “the last one” and offered to pack it up instead. Huh??? Why offer to remake it in the first place if it was the last one? Make it make sense. She also told us that the chef said they can’t take it off the bill since “we ate half of it already” when we literally took one bite each off of the skinnier side. It felt like we were being punished for sending it back.
We refused (since again, it’s inedible anyway, but now I wish I accepted, so I was able to take a pic), paid the full check, and walked out disappointed. That one bite of rubbery cremated fish cost us twenty bucks, and now we know exactly why it’s not on the menu lol
This was supposed to be a birthday treat, instead, it was a repeat of the same failure we experienced six years ago. We won’t be coming back. Thankfully, the cake from One65 saved my mom’s birthday.

Delicious, friendly, and peaceful since the first time we went here in the 90s, had 2 bday dinners, and had lunch with my childhood friend from Asia. But recently, the sushi, it’s like I was playing Barbie meals with my date but at adult price. No other places I’ve been, served good sushi smaller than average.

We love coming for their happy hour. They offer beer and wine/sake. My daughter likes the bento box, and we always get the volcano.
Lots of parking. Can get busy, but I have never had to wait more than a few minutes for a table.

We decided to try a new spot and found this one on yelp. They don’t have a current website up but they are open- I ordered while there for take out and the staff was very friendly. There were many people eating in which I took as a good sign… and it was. Everything we ordered on this Saturday tasted super fresh and high quality. I love when the niguri cuts actually do melt in your mouth! The special rolls were smaller than I was expecting (comparing to other sushi bars) yet we’re very flavorful and just as fresh as the nigiri. The restaurant looked very clean and was easy to find, lots of parking. I plan on ordering from them again.

We’ve been before and always enjoyed it. Food is good. Tonight, we had a great selection of tempura, a couple sushi rolls, and hot sake.

The food was ok. The tempura was not as crunchy and hot as I like it. The service was good and the atmosphere was ok.

Server (May) was very KIND to honor our ‘happy hour pricing’ at 6:30 p.m. Delicious sashimi! Oh Yes rolls yummy! Kids like the miso soup, too. Very filling & great dinner value $60, family of 4.

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed with the welcoming service. The staff was friendly and made us feel at home, offering great recommendations. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, with each bite bursting with flavor. I especially loved the signature rolls and sashimi. The ambiance was serene and cozy, with a minimalist design and soft lighting that created the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal. It’s the ideal spot for a special night out or a casual sushi craving. Will definitely return!

Food is good. Just food came out a bit slow.l in my opinion. There was a nice old man and woman operating the restaurant. I am assuming they are a married. I’ll definitely be returning.
