Had a relaxing evening with friends and enjoyed the sushi for the first time and it was good . They mark the sushi which contains Raw or uncooked fish . Thoroughly enjoyed the experience

Sister told me about this place and we got take out. The T-Pain is absolutely delicious never wanted it to end. Got the Silence of the Yams and Skirt steak Bento too. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I live in SJ but will definitely be back to get it again. My sister got seafood rolls which were delicious as well. My new favorite sushi spot. Worth the drive to get it.

We stopped for lunch on a Saturday and this was our favorite meal of the trip! No wait and we sat at the bar. We had the ninja sticks and three rolls the waiter recommended including Natural Bridges & Golden Gate and they were delish!

The karage was delicious — really great fried chicken with a spicy cream sauce and an orange dipping sauce. We got 2 sushi rolls; both were really unique and excited flavors. They were fairly busy so we waited a while for our takeout. I would 100% recommend this place, just make a game plan and call ahead before you’re hungry!

I got the Golden Frieza(no cream cheese), Calamari on happy hour, and the sojo+soda drink. Incredible, I would have never tried steak inside of sushi before but that combo is to die for. Worth every penny! Will be back next time I visit!

On point sushi. I don’t like rolls. The Nigirizushi is definitely delicious. Great spot for a quick lunch or dinner as long as it’s not too busy.

Super long wait to eat. Not much room. The food is good. I’m not much of a sushi guy. I don’t think I will be going back if it’s just my choice, if like a friend only wants to go there maybe.

Absolutely adore this spot. The quality of food was superb. The flavors spot on. I ordered a hot plate. Service was top notch and visited an appropriate amount. The art was entertaining and the music soothed my ears. I was on “my date” night. A practice where I take myself out. Since I was alone I sat at the bar. I only miss the experience where I get to order directly and interact with my chef while at the bar ♀️ . Definitely will be back.

This is the single best sushi place I’ve ever been to. They had flavor explosions. They had purist simplicity. They had some delicious warm sake my body is still processing. And they had a super chill down to earth waiter who put up with soooo many questions and comments from me. This place was so good I haven’t even tried the shoot off location in Aptos and I’m already team Akira Santa Cruz. If you don’t go here and you want sushi, you’re dumb

Lively sushi spot in Santa Cruz that was pretty busy for a weeknight and not too loud where you couldn’t enjoy a conversation with your companions. The rolls we had tried here that were our favs are the Soquel Avenue and the Akira Roll. I also had the Nigi Combo, it was very good but not the best I’ve had, you won’t go wrong here either way.
