We’ve been coming going on two decades it seems and it’s the freshest sushi around. TheyVe has the same sushi chefs for years and they are super focused on preparing the best We go two to three time monthly!
Great place, reminds me of Japan. Very clean and very friendly staff. The Nigiri Sushi was great and very filling. The Miso was great and the actual tofu chunks were a great sight to see. Definitely a must try and if local I'd be a regular.

This is a small but quant Japanese restaurant. I've seem this place get very busy because it's very popular with the locals. Their food is delicious and they serve other things that are not on the menu. You may just have to get that info from someone whites been going there for years though...
They have limited hours, so I would check before you go, don't plan this last minute, earlier you go the better off you are.

Good spot for some sushi. Food comes out fast and the staff is super friendly.
Great home style japanese cuisine. I really loved the customer service and had great tasting food to back it up. Definitely a small place but perfect for a small family. Definitely recommend if your in the area
Sushi was nicely prepared, fresh ingredients, and hospitable service. It’s very intimate atmosphere and clean dining tables. Authentic.

Definitely still recommending this place but had to round down based on my latest visit.
Two dishes that didn’t live up to my last visit were the cold noodles and Kalbi ribs. The cold noodles had a different flavor and texture to the broth. Good, just not as good as I recall. Not a deal breaker. The Kalbi ribs were even more disappointing. Fatty and chewy.
On the positive side, the two new dishes we tried were awesome. Jjajang mien, which was sold out las time was amazing. Great flavors, actually had meat which some places stopped adding, and was a very large serving. No wonder they sell out! Also tried the soon tofu soup which was equally amazing in flavors, meat ratio and portion size. Definitely must tries.
Service and self service banchan was still great. Almost makes up for the self service pick up and clean up :)

One of the few legit, Japanese run and owned sushi restaurants around. Appreciate the quality of the seafood and daily specials. I used to complain about the attitude and service, but that is now a thing of the past. Service was friendly and efficient during times of Covid. Nothing was missing from our order and everything tasted fantastic. Should not have waited so long to come back. Will be part of my regular rotation now that we have rediscovered this place.

Very good japanese food in the neighborhood. Owner and sushi chiefs are very friendly. Best Katsu Don ever. Love it. 😋
