Reviews

I was a tempted to give this place an even lower rating because I was so disappointed.
I got the salmon, scallop, yellowtail, and albacore nigiri with a blue crab hand roll.
The salmon and scallop nigiri were good and I would recommend those, but the yellowtail and albacore were off (they even had a smell to them that didn’t seem right).
I was hungry so I drenched them in the sauce I was given and ate them anyways.
Texturally they were good though.
The blue crab roll was the real driver of this review.
It was incredibly fishy.
I can’t remember tasting sushi that fishy in a long time, especially not from somewhere with such high ratings.
I took one bite and couldn’t stand it.
Not even soy sauce would mask the fishy-ness, I ended up giving it to my dog so that it didn’t go to waste but much too fishy for me.
Will not be coming back here unfortunately.

Aim for the spicy tuna and spicy scallops hand rolls.
Great pricing for LA and anywhere else in the country.

Pretty good, the fish tasted fresh, firm flesh, etc.
But the rice was a little warm.
I had mackeral, halibut nigiri and a spicy (not very, out of a tub) tuna and a salmon roll.
Got some take out salmon, looks better than the rolls.
The menu could be a bit more imaginative.
Evidently there may be items that are not on the menu.
Counter was a bit dirty, could use a bit of a spiff on the decor.
Busy take out.
Definitely not the food you see on the website.
