We ordered the tuna tataki and the tuna was gray and covered in a sweet sauce. I have never tasted such bad fish. It was so bad we were worried. We also ordered the corn that said that it had a miso mayo and chili. They served us plain grilled corn. It was so frustrating and insulting that they thought they could get away with serving absolute trash and still charge us for it. Definitely skip this place. I do not know how it is in business. I love speaking highly of skilled chefs. This is an insult to the industry.

Chicken bento box and salmon bento box… both were pretty bland as was the miso soup. No tofu, scallions, or green onions.
Sushi was fine, but nothing out of the ordinary either.

We got the California, shrimp tempura, and lion king roll. All 3 tasted great. The ramune sodas were fun and cute. Service was great too.

Overall just an okay experience, wouldn't recommend nor come back. Fairly small shop with one waitress, not much variety of sushi rolls. The sashimi combo was very disappointing since it was a 20 piece with only 4 varieties of the standard fish. The tuna was very mushy which makes me think it had been frozen for too long. Only the salmon was great even though I had a bone in one piece. The pieces were also not the same size which is disappointing. Lastly we had booked a reservation and had to wait over 20 minutes to be seated. Next time I will try Saul's next door because it looked great and was much busier. There's also another sushi restaurant on the corner that looked more bustling. Pricing pretty standard, $13 for rolls, $20 and $36 for sashimi combos. Happy hour could be good if you live nearby.

I can't even begin to describe the sushi I experienced here. Definitely high quality with unique combinations. Can't wait to come back m.We at the ijo izakaya and it was mind blowing. There service was also very good .

One server. The meal was expensive for such small portions. If you like California rolls you are in luck.

Wasn’t BAD per se, but everything we tried was a little off. Tonkatsu was too salty, some of the nigiri was cut with gristly bits, and the grilled squid was more chewy than springy. They also forgot our drink and almost charged us for it anyway.

Definitely enjoyable experience. Went for lunch and had a good meal and a few drinks. From out of town, we only have a few places like this where I'm from and I wish we had more.
