I’m all about supporting local business. This place looks to have a lot of take out orders.
Staff are super friendly, but the food is sub par. The salad was frozen and the dressing was watered down. The miso soup had a fishy smell and taste. The ginger tasted defrosted and old.
The chicken teriyaki was not grilled but boiled then microwaved.

Went in for dinner on a Friday night at about 6-630. Wasn’t too busy. We were sat in a private booth. It was clean and cozy and even had a curtain!
The server was incredibly helpful and went through almost the whole menu with us. He was patient and well-versed in all the rolls.
We ordered the teriyaki chicken, sexy roll, melted Philly roll, Ironman roll, and futo Maki roll. Dinner partner had the upside-down pineapple mixed drink and said it was great.
The rolls were amazing. I couldn’t choose a favorite, but my partner said the melted Philly was his favorite.
The sexy roll had the perfect amount of heat/spice with the jalapeno.
It was so good.
Went back. Sat at the sushi bar. It was delicious again.

Pretty disappointed, we came in on a Friday night. Literally no one was here. Our food came at an appropriate timeframe. Except for my mother’s food, she brought us the wrong food. Actually, the chef made the wrong food. The waiter seemed like she was new because she knew nothing on the menu. She never refilled my water and she came to our table multiple times. My mom had to split her water into mine. If she’s new that’s fine, but if she’s not….. The food wasn’t to sushi standards (or at least the rolls that I had). What I had was the spicy crunchy scallop roll. Didn’t taste the scallops at all, and when I picked One (because there was only like one or two pieces in it) it just tasted like the spicy mayo sauce. The crazy white monkey had some delicious looking ingredients in it, but it tasted just like the crunchy scallop roll. Definitely not worth the $18. In a sushi roll, you should be able to taste the seafood that you paid for, I didn’t taste anything besides the rice and the deep fried soy paper that held it together. I will say though, I also had the Dynasty roll, and that one is way better and is cheaper than the crazy white monkey roll. Because I was able to taste the squid, the fish, and everything else. That was worth the 12 or so dollars. My little brother ordered a spicy salmon roll. And honestly, it tasted just like the scallop roll. He did order their soft shell crab appetizer and that wasn’t too bad. Then the sashimi came to the table and that was a huge disappointment and was waay too overpriced. For the sashimi appetizer, it came with salmon, tuna and red snapper (idk what that last one was, I’m only guessing, it tasted like red snapper though). The portion size for those were very disappointing and honestly I felt ripped off. The usual portion size for sashimi is usually about the size of two or three fingers. What we were served, they were only about the size of the nail on my thumb. Not only that, the taste was not fresh. We didn’t taste anything from the salmon which usually has a soft sweet taste to it. This salmon tasted like nothing, which is a sign of it being frozen. The same was true for the other fish. Nothing, my tuna piece had some ginger stuck to the underside of it. But I didn’t taste much of the usually delicious fish. He also ordered some fatty salmon as well and it comes with a total of three. These slices are a joke too. For almost 9 bucks, we got three slices of “fatty” salmon that was as big as those small pretzel sticks you can get at a gas station. Really really small portion size. I wouldn’t complain so much about it if the sashimi was actually fresh. It tasted just like the other salmon did. No difference. Then it came to my Mother. I was actually getting angry at this point because she was served last. And hers was the easiest to make, she had the Udon. That’s it. It came with salad so she didn’t order an appetizer. Once her food got to the table, it wasn’t even what she ordered, she also didn’t receive her salad too. We got the waitress’s attention and told her that we didn’t order whatever that was, we also told her that my Mother didn’t receive her salad yet. She apologizes and takes the food back. About 3 minutes later, she returns with a salad and says that the “chef” made her the wrong food. I don’t know how that happened because they’ve been making the same food for hopefully a few years. But maybe everyone there is new. The salad was pretty good, however at this point i was just trying to get a flavor of some sort that’s not the spicy mayo sauce. Her Udon finally arrived and I stole a fish cake. It tasted odd. It didn’t taste like fish, at all. Then the broth, it tasted a little bit like chicken which was nice, but it had a tap water aftertaste. It tasted like the water from the water fountain at school. Perhaps it was the weird combination of seafood and chicken that threw my taste buds off. I hope that they aren’t cross-contaminating anything back there. There was chicken, fish cakes and shrimp and one poached egg on top. Don’t make it complicated and confusing.

This place is a joke and I’m not laughing. I feel genuinely scammed after eating here. We had a party of 9 for a birthday party and got our own room. Granted we arrived about 15 minutes early, but it took an hour for the sushi to arrive and for them to start cooking the hibachi. The hibachi by the way does not include fried rice. They charge you extra for the smallest amount of fried rice you have ever seen. Each of four people in our group that ordered hibachi received a measly cup worth of fried rice. I had an equal amount of chicken as I did fried rice. My meal, including a soda and side of white rice, was $40. I not only finished my plate, which is something I’ve never done at another hibachi restaurant, but my wife and I left hungry after paying $70 for the both of us. I asked why they charged us both an extra $3.50 for fried rice on a $28 meal and they said it wasn’t included in the hibachi. If we weren’t there for a child’s birthday I would have had some very choice words for what I thought of that. Do not eat here. We only did because Fuji, which is MUCH better didn’t take reservations. This was on top of orders getting mixed up, sodas tasting completely different between glasses, having to ask for things that we order/never received, the soup was disgusting, the salad had standing water in the bottom, and this place has the atmosphere of a cheap Chinese take out place. Please eat anywhere else!

It was such a fun experience! Watching the chef in the Hibachi room was amazing and the food was to the for (we were all salivating while he was cooking). They were so nice once they found out it was my mom’s birthday and brought out a birthday hat and ice cream for her. Will go again!

The sushi was good and fairly priced. The service was prompt and polite. The space was elegant and clean with ample parking. I would have given it 5 stars had the staff been a bit more welcoming and the food been a bit more tasty. For the price I wasn’t disappointed and would definitely return.

Tasty sushi that doesn’t break the bank and super friendly staff! Also open later which was nice because many other sushi restaurants close earlier in the area. Will definitely return next time I’m in Monona.
