Decent menu, good prices. It got surprisingly busy on a Friday over the lunch block of time. I am a fan of grilled ika (squid), and they serve it, so I am happy.

Saw this restaurant on FB and my wife said we should give it a try!
Everything we ordered is well seasoned and delicious.
The $45 dollar sashimi deluxe is a great choice, fish is fresh and very thick cut!
The only downside is the service, two waitresses are not engaging or smiling at all. It can be an 5 stars experience if they do!

Summary： Simple ‘hole in the wall’ style Japanese restaurant with great price and quality
Food: solid. Lunch special was only 11.99 for 2 6-pieces rolls.
Decor and service: Average but you get what you need. Family cheap eats but not a place you want to bring your future in laws. ;).
For the price and quality, it is a solid 4.

Speedy service and dishes came out hella fast, the fastest I’ve seen. All the rolls and appetizers were delicious. No straws here, the only downer, but the place can be really noisy. Update 6th time and plave is still slapping your taste buds. Might try all the items.

Decent sashimi of big portion sizes. Reasonable prices. Can’t expect much in ambiance but if your emphasis is on foods, it’s a good place

Do not come to eat here at all: the sushi and raw fish did not taste fresh. Shortly after eating, I started feeling stomach discomfort. The cooked dishes were also not very good.
The menu presentation was confusing and somewhat misleading. One sushi item had a photo placed next to it that did not match what was actually served, even though the description listed similar ingredients. What I received was clearly not the sushi shown in the picture. Since it was not what I ordered, I did not eat it, but I was still charged $1.50 per piece for the uneaten roll.
Also I am not sure if a normal customer can just walk in their back counter place, their food safety is concerning, that there is a customer (shown in picture below) not only walk to their back counter filming us and are also help defending them with no reason…
When I politely asked the server about the discrepancy between the photo and the dish served, the situation escalated unexpectedly. The server suddenly raised their voice and began questioning me in an aggressive tone. He was also keep making a racist hand gesture that made the interaction uncomfortable. I felt disrespected during the exchange.
I do want to mention that an older server at the restaurant was kind and professional, and I appreciated their attitude. If tipping individually were possible, I would have been happy to tip that person.
The interior is very minimal, with only tables and chairs and little decor.
Overall, this was not a pleasant dining experience.

Despite this place looking a little shabby the fish is fresh and delicious. The cuts of sashimi we got were thick and juicy. The rolls had a lot of sauce, but it was easy to scrape off and enjoy. We had gotten the sashimi deluxe plate thinking there would be 9 different cuts of fish but some of them were doubled, we received salmon, tuna, hamachi, scallops, and then something that was either amberjack or something close to it and something like escolar. Each of the cuts came topped with a lot of fresh wasabi.
We also ordered a a negi hama and Saba maki roll. They mixed it up with a tekka roll but comped it for us. Staff checked in frequently and it was easy for us to request additional items (i.e napkins or extra chopsticks)
Overall very tasty and would love to come back soon.

Summary (tl;dr): Quality sushi, sashimi, and rolls with generous (and I mean generouusss) portion sizes and fantastic presentation relative to the price in a quiet strip mall with sometimes slow service.
I’ll be honest I mostly get takeout from here, but the remarks about the food are the same whether you dine-in, takeout, or get delivery.
Food (5/5 for the sushi and rolls for sure; 3/5 for the cooked stuff)
The sushi, sashimi, and rolls are definitely the stars here. The portion size is very, very generous. The fish itself is usually fairly fresh, not omakase level or fresh-from-japan level, but still pretty good. I go a lot and I have yet to have a bad fish quality experience with them. If you go look at some of the photos here posted by people, you’ll see the tiktok/instagram reel friendly *moriawase* (aka poor-man’s omakase) that they present on this wooden circular staircase-type platter. The rolls are also large and substantial and presented very well without going overboard with the rice (think – Sen Dai). The prices for the specialty rolls are approximately in the range of $12-18? Considering the sizes of the rolls you get are at least 50% larger than many other places (excluding Sen Dai) without compromising on quality, you’re definitely getting your money’s worth here.
I will have to say, the cooked food items are just average. The bento/combination plates are ok as a whole, but like the quality of the meats are just ok and they tend to slightly overcook them.
Service (4/5)
It’s a small restaurant and I think the front service staff can be understaffed most likely at times, although they’ve been efficient when I’ve been there. I’m just assuming based on the capacity of the restaurant at peak hours compared with the number of actual waiters. The waiters also perform double duty too, taking to-go orders or finishing packaging up to-go orders in between managing the in-restaurant customers.
I think the kitchen is probably pretty well staffed though, because I’ve never really noticed food taking all too long to come out.
Ambiance (3.5/5)
It’s in a tired looking strip mall with an ok-amount of parking that inexplicably fills up sometimes. I don’t understand why the parking lot can fill up when the other places that command attention are one other restaurant, a liquor store, and a dance studio in one of the corners.
The inside of the restaurant was actually recently renovated and is clean and newish looking although looks fairly sterile. It was previously very tiny and now has much better capacity. I think they bought out the place next door and broke down the wall to open up the restaurant. But as a result it kind of looks like two different seating areas (one with pretty sterile fluorescent bars, and one that has more normal lighting). They’ve also played music before on occasion I recall? But it comes from a small bluetooth speaker so it’s not like a true music system.
Other notes:
They actually have two other locations. One in Fremont and one in East SJ off McKee and White. I haven’t been to those two other locations but I’ve looked at the yelp profiles before and I would imagine the food portion of the reviews are probably pretty similar.

This is a newer location which we are very happy because we have been going to the Fremont location.
They have a good menu with special and more traditional sushi rolls. They also have ramen, bento boxes and lots more. Their food is good and prices are very good. We are glad they opened this second location since it will be closer to us now. We will be going more frequently now that it’s even closer.
