I really have enjoyed my last several meals at Sushi Joa!…read more Sushi Joa is a small sushi restaurant located in Town Center that is a delight. I had vague recollections of eating here over a decade ago and found an improved dining experience in my recent meals with delicious rolls and delightful glasses of wine. The kaleidoscope roll has been my favorite so far as it has a bit of everything I like so much! While only 6 pieces I find I can't put the whole piece in my mouth as it is a substantial roll! Tuna, hamaichi, salmon, imitation crab, tobiko, and avocado all combined for one delicious hearty roll. The nigiri has been excellent as well! Each come out as delicious as the next. The service is always a delight. The servers are polite, prompt, and attentive. Water glasses are quickly refilled, empty plates whisked away, and always an offer of check-in I never feel rushed nor neglected here. The space is tight and it can get rather crowded Friday night. I find dining earlier helps me avoid the mass of people and it feels more relaxed. They offer daily specials so be sure to check out the chalk board by the sushi counter. Also, if you decide you wish to regularly dine here, use the same credit card as you will earn points that will give you a discount on a future meal. Such good food and great service!

After I finished my fish with the rice, I still had half of the rice left. So the ratio is a little off? The quality of fish is what you get for paying $20 for a chirashi bowl, so not great. The restaurant looked pretty dingy inside, so the other reviews questioning cleanliness are probably valid. However, if you are looking for quantity over quality, you can't find a better deal than $20 for so much fresh fish!

The moment you sit down, you get a hot towel and miso soup while you contemplate the menu. The lunch sets are amazing value with large pieces of fresh fish, and they all come with a tempura appetizer comprising 3 pieces of shrimp and an onion ring. The crispy batter and flavorful shrimp made this one of the better tempura in town. Something I would consider coming back for. We had the Chef's Special Chirashi (dinner) at lunch, and the sashimi lunch. Both outstanding in freshness and size. Definitely worth coming back! Dinner next time

From the moment I stepped inside to the decor and service to the taste and quality of food, I was impressed the entire night. Most bbq places are laid back and loud, but this place is refined, sophisticated, and everything you'd want for a date night or celebration. Starting off with service, everyone we spoke with was lovely and inviting. We felt welcomed and our server kept checking on us, but wasn't too invasive, so we were able to catch up. We were greeted with hand towels and 3 options for water. Cutlery and tableware were nicely set up and I'm obsessed with their plates! I was blown away by all of the dishes we ordered but my favorites were definitely the Uni Toast, Wagyu Volcano, and honestly all the meats we ordered to grill. They grill your meats for you, so it is a bit awkward because the person stands there until everything is done, but it's cooked to perfection! Highly recommend for a nice date night or celebration dinner.

We started with a wagyu toast and the meat just melted in your mouth. We also had alaska king crab with A5. Kind of a surf and turf nigiri. The uni toast was a little too much toast but it was a generous amount of uni. The Rubik's cube was a literal cube of meat. They cook it to perfection in front of you. Lots of sauces and sides to try. Everything was very good. It's amazing how different each cut of meat tastes. I loved the silky egg yolk in the volcano. They offer bottle service as well as drinks and their drinks were excellent. Would definitely go back!

When I first stepped in the door, I was so glad I brought a light jacket with me even though it was 80 degrees outside. I'm not sure why, but the restaurant had the A/C turned up so high that even the people eating next to us had their puffer coats on. Even with my coat on though, I was still cold. The interior is small and modern. However, the tables and menus were extremely and unpleasantly sticky. The soy sauce bottle was also empty at our table. I ordered the HAPPY HOUR CHIRASHI BOWL ($22 which is half the size and price of the usual $44 Chirashi Bowl off their main menu). It came with two pieces of salmon, two pieces of albacore, two pieces of hamachi, and two pieces of some other tuna (or maybe it was mackerel) plus tamago (egg), and Ikura (salmon roe) on top of their signature purple rice. The presentation was nice, but the fish quality lacked. The albacore in particular was so chewy I had trouble biting through it and so I knew it wasn't fresh; I ate one piece but left the other in the bowl because I didn't want to chance it. Regardless, my stomach regretted it later in the evening and the next day... Service was fine, but we had to waive down the waiter both to order and get our check. When he asked if I wanted a box for my piece of albacore, I told him it was too chewy and he said sorry and walked away. Overall, I was unfortunately disappointed by my experience at Kuro. For a recommended place on Yelp, I expected a better environment and fresh fish. Overall: 2/5 for food, 3/5 for service, 2/5 for atmosphere
