    Just salads with side rice, onions, a few seaweed morsels, & cubed tuna, sans sauce, dressing, or flavor~ not a poké bowl folks.
    Queen B.

    Disappointing! Bland, overpriced, & unsatisfying. Ordered two poke bowls, one regular tuna & the other spicy~ we were charged $14.95 for the plain, $13.95 for the spicy tuna. Why are they being priced differently?They are the exact same dish except the 'spicy' had a marinade thinly basted over the tuna. They also added spicy drizzle on both side rices. Most importantly, these are not justifiable "poke bowls", but more honestly just like a spring green salad with side rice and some raw fish, sliced onions, with a literal few slivers of seaweed. Its unacceptable! No flavor. No sauce. No traditionally included toppings that MAKE the poke bowl scrumptious and complex: like potential pickled ginger, scallions, edamame, carrots, mango/pineapple, cucumber, avocado, crunchies etc with actual sauces. It was ONLY onions & a bit of seaweed besides greens, rice, fish. I literally had to go to my fridge & pull out some salad dressing & sweet chili sauce just to eat it, bc it was mostly dry packed spring greens under the onions & cubed fish. The drinks here cost more than other boba tea shops & at this rate, it feels like this is just lazy pseudo asian cuisine~ serving every dish as a cost cutting bare minimum clone of the other dishes just to be hyped by the selection only to discover its lacking any soul or variety of flavor. Bland & Basic is what's being served here, & that's why it isn't thriving. Our two salads & a drink were not even close in value to a $50 meal. We will never go back. I hope they can step it up & realize that people will patron the restaurant IF it serves truly delicious food- they are falling short of this, & that makes it a waste of all the costs & effort to even have it there at all. My suggestion: drop the entrees & food selections & focus on boba/tea/smoothies/coffee/specialty drinks & desserts. Or hire a talented asian-fusion chef.

    The restaurant is located in a small retail shopping center. It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. First impressions are that it is clean, fresh, and reasonably priced. The menu has a variety of items from which to choose (more than just sushi). I ordered the vegetable tempura and water. Service was prompt and my lunch was made to order. The came quickly, it was piping hot, and very good!! If you're looking for something new to try, I think you'll like what this place. Itadakimasu!

    Lemonberry and iced coffee boba

    It's a cute little store with great Boba and super fresh ingredients. He said that his recipe was just like the place in Hawaii. We had the Ahi Tower bowl, with the perfect amount of heat and the Ahi Poke bowl. Even though it was only 25 mins before they closed, they were super friendly and didnt rush us at all. The ingredients all tasted very fresh and bright also (which we have been to some places at the end of the day and you can kind of tell) but not here. It was all SO good and we will.be back!!

    Pepper Seared Tuna Rice Bowl, very good
    Magnus L.

    This is a relatively new place, they have sushi, rice bowls and various tea drinks. It's a small location with a handful of table and you can of course order for take out which seemed like a popular option when I was here. I ordered the Seared Tuna Rice Bowl which was very good! The rice had more pepper than I expected but was good and added more flavor to the dish. I also tried their green tea which also was good. It was different type of green tea drink than I'm used to but was really good. Hard to describe. I will definitely come back and try some of their other dishes.

    This little business is a gem! Sushi was fresh and delicious. Excellent selection of appetizers and entrees. This was my second time visiting this restaurant. It's clean and inviting like a neighborhood restaurant should be. Boba Tea was so amazing. Great service with a friendly smile.

    Double rice

    The sushi rolls were mostly rice! Hardly any fish so, I couldn't enjoy the food. The only roll that wasn't mostly rice was the yellow tail. I didn't trust it tho

    Super good boba. Kind of expensive but it's not hard too busy so it makes sense. Haven't tried the sushi but will soon!

    Cute small business right by the Kroger. Was craving some boba and popped in for a taro milk tea. The service was very great, I asked for it to be less sweet and with little boba and they did just that and even asked to make sure the amount of boba they put in was good! The taro milk tea tasted delicious super great flavor and the texture of the boba was perfect, not too chewy. They are very kind and just opened 3 months ago! The owner also came out and had a great conversation with me, lovely people! I can't wait to try their sushi and other boba flavors next time. Support this small local business, I recommend it!

    If you order sashimi and try that before dippin into your dolled up rolls you can assess the…read morequality of fish the establishment invests in. Did the sashimi check with fatty yellowtail and it melted in my mouth so buttery smooth as it should be! Given that I'm in Japan 5-7x a year I can confirm this is really good sushi. Please don't sleep on it. The establishment is super cute, can host larger groups and the service was great. We went in the evening quite late and was really happy to see that it was open. Many of the other sushi places we go to are closed on Monday', so kudos to Koji for identifying the demand! If you're around don't sleep on this place and let me know what your thoughts!

    We started eating here last summer and were impressed with the food, ambience and service. However,…read morethe last 3 times we have eaten here, since October, the food has declined. I consistently get the chicken katsu. The last 3 times it was overcooked and chewy, the breading too brown, and the breading slid off. This last time we went this week in January, and probably our last, service was awful. The young girl barely greeted us and sort of just told us at the middle of the restaurant where to sit. Then, our party of 3 ordered. As our lunch was delivered, my husband didn't get anything. We thought maybe they were just behind. I finally called her over and asked about his meal. Instead of being helpful, she copped an attitude and immediately pulled out her ticket book and said, "No! He didn't order! He said egg rolls!" I looked at her and said, "I heard him order the bento box" and he said he had. My daughter even heard it. She continued to argue and I just told her never mind, I didn't want to argue with her. There were no helpful solutions from her such as, "I am so sorry I didn't hear you (or most likely understand him), why don't I put the order in for you now?" Nope! So we sat awkwardly eating while my husband just sat there. He went next door at Marco's to order a pizza to take home. We eat out a lot and it seems to us this younger generation need lessons on how to talk to people and take accountability. We were nice to her. But she immediately took offense and didn't take steps to attempt to solve the problem. Lazy! We will not return here as these Japanese sushi restaurants are a dime a dozen now.

    This review honestly has very little to do with sushi and everything to do with people…read more Tonight, January 30th, I placed a to go order and completely missed the fact that they close at 8:30. Around closing time I got a call from the owner saying, "Hey, your food is ready. We close at 8:30. Can you come grab it?" I apologized and said I would be there in five minutes. When I pulled up, the shop was fully closed. Lights off. Doors locked. And there he was outside in about 30 degree weather holding my bag. He walked it right to my car. I apologized again and told him I felt terrible for keeping him late. Without hesitation, without attitude, without even a hint of frustration, he just smiled and said, "No problem. You are my neighbor. That is what neighbors do." That stopped me in my tracks. He had every reason to be annoyed. He could have left. He could have canceled the order. Instead, he stayed late, waited in the cold, and treated me like a friend. In a time where people feel more divided and rushed than ever, that kind of simple human kindness is rare and really meaningful. And here is the thing, this is not a one off. Every time I come here, they ask how I am doing and they actually listen to the answer. Whether it's the person making the sushi, running the register, or the owner himself, I have never once felt rushed or like an inconvenience. They genuinely care. As for the food, it is exactly what Sushi Go is supposed to be: consistently good, fresh, affordable sushi done right. You are not going for a formal omakase experience, and that is not what they are trying to be. They deliver solid quality, fast, and reliably, and they do it extremely well. The ahi tower is awesome, and we have never had a bad meal here. They absolutely get the food right, and that matters. But just as important is how you are treated when you walk through the door, and Sushi Go gets both perfectly. We will definitely continue supporting this business, and I very much hope you do the same.

It wasn't very busy at the time, but our drinks still took about ten minutes to arrive. We started with potstickers, which were delicious, and our little one's avocado came out quickly, which we appreciated. However, after placing our order, we noticed several tables seated after us receiving their food before we did. At one point, we were concerned our order may have been overlooked. When the food finally arrived, it was very good--no complaints there--but the wait was a bit disappointing, especially since most of what we ordered were appetizers. Overall, we'd still come back, just hoping for a smoother experience next time.
