I’ve been coming here monthly with my boyfriend, and it’s become one of our favorite dinner spots. The fish is always fresh with plenty of roll options to choose from. Service is warm and personable, and the owner makes you feel like a regular. Definitely a hidden gem that always exceeds our expectations!

Fresh fish, great variety of rolls, and a cozy vibe. The service is always friendly and the owner always recognizes us and remembers our orders. Definitely part of our go-to dinner rotation.

We came in on a late Saturday afternoon, not busy at all, staff were friendly and courteous. So many selections especially for the rolls. Ambiance can be improved, restrooms were clean, you can scan a QR code for online menu but they gave us their menu, it was sticky atleast the one I got thise 4 stars. The food arrived fast, and were really good. Miso and salad that came with our Bento Box order were fresh and tasty not bland. Salmon sashimi was super fresh melts in your mouth kind of fresh. Our rolls —The Kraken per recommendation and the Fly boy were both good! Both are sauce-y type of rolls but very good. Most orders here are take-out. We’re definitely going back, we’ve been here in California for 2 years moved during pandemic and so far this is the best sushi place we’ve had. If you’re thinking of giving it a try you should!
