The atmosphere, service, and food are all top-notch and highly recommended.
Everyone's very friendly, and the sushi is always incredibly fresh and tasty.

I would first like to note, my review comes from someone who eats high quality sushi every week, the point of paying $200-300 a person level of quality, so I just want to make that clear because although some people may love to come here Regularly, I might offend those of you. Ordered the 21 PC sashimi, crunch roll, tamago, hotate, negihama, ika shiso maki and hakkaisan JG. Overall fish cut is GIGANTIC.
Like I can't fit the sashimi in my mouth comfortably, it's a size that would need you to open your mouth to gasp for air.
Although people like quantity vs quality and some prefer this.
I think sashimi is delicate and should be enjoyed bite by bite, piece by piece.
The nigiri pieces are definitely two biters, not as traditional Japanese sushi would be made as (one full bite) Rice quality, overcooked so it was a bit softer than it should.
Vinegar level was tolerable, but it was a bit high. Son enjoyed his crunch roll. 21 pc sashimi is shareable, like for 3 people.
Each piece was about the size of 2-3 bites.
It's served on a big pretty wooden boat. Wasabi was pale and not flavorful. Ginger was not very good. Soy sauce, standard low sodium, no special house mix. Price: affordable for the quantity Quality: comparable to a buffet level, tuna was not bright.
It was dull in color, the, the rest was decent in flavor, escolar was a big fishy, yellowtail was pretty good. Ika shiso maki wasn't made with the salted plum the first time.
So they made another and put the sauce on the plate...not sure if that's how it's supposed to be. Negihama wasn't very good.
Fish to rice ratio was low.
Not flavorful at all.
Oddly. Overall felt like a restaurant version of genki/kura Service was friendly and prompt. I hate writing reviews like this.
But I think it's a good spot for high protein and big fish portion (sashimi pieces at least) for the price.
The $55 is a price that's worth it for sure. I wish the server let me know how big the pieces were, I would've ordered the smaller sashimi plate.
She asked me if it's my first time and I did tell her it was....so a little heads up would be nice.

Really fantastic place.
Very mobility aid accessible, beautiful, and clean.
Everyone was so nice and the food was great! I got takoyaki and ceviche roll.
