Absolutely Outstanding Sushi Experience!

This place is a hidden gem for sushi lovers! Every bite was a perfect balance of flavor, freshness, and presentation. The fish was incredibly fresh you can taste the quality in every roll and sashimi cut. The toro literally melted in my mouth, and the spicy tuna had just the right kick.

The ambiance was cozy yet upscale, perfect for a casual dinner or a special date night. The chefs clearly take pride in their craft, and the staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable with great recommendations.

Walked by while attempting to choose our date location, and just by looking in the atmosphere seemed great! I ordered the Brussel Sprouts as an appetizer and BOY OH BOY!!! As my roll, I ordered the spider roll. The presentation was WOW and our server was amazing as well. Very attentive, friendly, and fast. Yummm we will be coming back.

We walk here all the time and this is our go to Sushi spot in the Valley. The staff is always so inviting and attentive. Never had an issue with service and the food has always been consistent. Not to mention, I do not eat white rice and they are able to everything with brown rice. The salmon special in the picture is unreal the hostess Hanna was awesome!! She deserves a separate shout out.

Used to come here 2-3 times a week but lately maybe once a month. I do like the food and the price is right, but half the servers are absolutely horrible. Had one of the worst experiences to date a couple days ago. Started off with this one older short server who looks tired (always dread when I get him, he doesn’t know how to do his job) just to then be passed around 5 other servers. Dishes all arrived at random times. Got a main dish before any appetizers. He forgot my drink. Gave me the bill without asking if I was done or wanted dessert. The younger tall servers aren’t bad, I don’t mind when I get them, but I swear the two short older ones are awful. Time for them to go or get retrained? Their attitude is so poor too… they treat you like you’re a bother. I honestly started thinking it was personal hate toward me but every single customer in the restaurant seemed annoyed with their service. And why can’t we stick to ONE server? Or maybe give us the option to pick who we want as a server. Wish I knew their names to call them out more properly. But this feels like the Cheesecake Factory now in terms of service quality or one of those mall restaurants. And we’re expected to tip 20% for that type of mediocre waiters. I’m absolutely sure I’m not the only who feels this way as the restaurant is always pretty empty lately…. You used to need reservations for this place. There’s maybe now only ever 5-6 sitting tables at night. Oh well. Hopefully management wakes up and improves. Really sad. Lastly, the inside fees so sterile and bright, like a cafeteria. Used to love sitting outside but lately they don’t even bother turning out the heat lamps or closing the wind curtains.

Absolutely delicious! I’ve been here dozens of times and it never fails to impress me. Definitely make a reservation as it usually is pretty packed. Their baked crab hand rolls are perfect.

The tables are so close together you could basically taste the food from the people next to you. And if you try to have a private conversation? Forget it — the neighbors can hear every word like they’re part of the group.
