    the front of the restaurant
    Eleni J.

    This review is solely about my first impression of the restaurant. I didn't get to eat here tonight as apparently it's reservation only on Saturday night, but the wording of the sign on their door is confusing--it's says "dining room open from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, reservations full." We walked in and the restaurant smells fishy. The female hostess' reaction is borderline rude. She simply said "Did you see the sign?" Yes, we did and read twice before entering; it's not our fault that the sign didn't say "reservations only, no walk-in". Anyway, I find it a bit strange for a strip mall restaurant to be like this, but I guess they must be doing super well--good for them. Just wish they could have made this reservation only thing clear online.

    Service was quick. Not picture was the miso soup and it was maybe the best part of the meal which is saying a lot. The restaurant was nice in the inside and the sushi bar looked nice if that's something you prefer

    This review is specifically only for the to-go order. First off, let's talk price. The toro sashimi appetizer, Hamachi, and Howie's roll was a whopping total $62.38. So, if you're on a tight budget, this might not be your go-to spot. But onto the taste--the Hamachi came in a generous portion, albeit a tad burnt. The Howie's roll, with blue fin fish (fun fact, apparently even Japan ships blue fin from NJ), was amazing and so tasty with its flavors packed into eight pieces, although the size was a bit on the narrower side. Okok but we can't forget about the best dish which was the toro sashimi. Perfectly cut and melting on the tongue, it was just perfection. The best part was, they gave us a bag of ice for the sashimi so you know they're very conscious of the quality for to-go orders. A quick note: Make sure to double-check the hours, as the dining room and takeout have different operating hours. If you're planning to visit on a Friday, note that the dining room doesn't open until 6:30 pm. Also, reservations are a must, especially considering their popularity--I learned the hard way as they were fully booked for the day (had a note posted on their door).

    Fresh chilled oysters, shrimp, and lobster  claws

    Still my all time favorite sushi place. This time we let head chef Yong Kim choose for us as we sat at the bar. We have no allergies and eat pretty much anything. That made for a very exciting time never knowing what was coming out next. The oysters were incredibly cold and crisp. The dipping sauce for the shrimp and lobster was amazing. The tuna sundae was strips of tuna rather than chunks and melted in your mouth along with some pistachio nuts to add crunch. The sea bass was quite delicious and the pepper relish was the perfect touch. The sashimi was outstanding and had wasabi in the rice. The belly of the tuna was truly special. The lobster and scallop hand roll was good but probably not as enjoyable as the other dishes. It was my first time having wagu beef and it lived up to the hype. We ended with our fruit plate. An amazing meal that was so creative and fun. Yong Kim was really friendly and runs an amazing business.

    Fresh and tasty. It's worth trying it once. We weren't all full when it was done. Including tip for 4 people was $600. Tad too much for leaving with could have more feeling. Good thing it was BYOB.

    Crazy pretty plating for takeout! Perfect for a date night during quarantine :)

    I've been eyeing this place before COVID as its been recommended by my coworkers as the best sashimi/sushi they've had in the area. Before I knew it, they were closed for dine in, but avail not... they have takeout! Originally, we wanted come here to try their omakase but that is out of the question until they reopen dine in. We gave in and ended up ordering a bunch of sushi/sashimi and oh man, their presentation is on point. When we brought it home, we didnt need to re-plate and it was picture perfect already. In terms of the actual dishes, their toro appetizer is amazing. Fresh and delicious fatty tuna. Their davichi roll was full chunks of FRESH tuna used for spicy tuna rather then the left over minced tuna with excess filler of tempura other restaurants have. The tornetta roll had avocado that was so perfectly ripe, its like an avocado cream that melts in your mouth. The second time we ordered we got similar things + howie's roll, which had sea bass ontop. There was a slight fishy aftertaste, but aside from that the roll was spot on. New alaskan roll was average. A bit similar to a california in terms of crab + avocado + cucumber but better given real crab vs imitation and all the extra toppings e.g. Salmon, tempura flakes, spicy mayo. I personally have found bluefin's tuna dishes to be better than their salmon, which is a rare find in the states in my opinion. I guess their restaurant name doesnt lie.

    Rock Shrimp Sundaes and my awesome brother-in-law!
    Lor W.

    This place knocked our socks off! Unpretentious restaurant in a strip mall not far from where my sister-in-law and brother-in-law live. They have raved about this place for a while, and we finally managed to join them for a Friday night sushi extravaganza. Their menu is chock-full of goodies and given our ravenous state, the 4 of us wanted to order everything. We scaled back and ordered hot appetizers, sushi pieces, and rolls to split. The rock shrimp "sundae" (served in a martini glass) was the perfect way to begin the evening. The special sushi roll of the night was a whopping $50, but worth it, no joke! It was topped with gold leaf (hence the price hike) along with layers and layers of buttery fish. It was a splurge and we loved every second of it. The toro was melt-in-your mouth divine, and even the fruit we were presented with at the end of our meal was sensational. The cantaloupe tasted as if it was grown out back (it wasn't). Service is a bit harried, but that works to your benefit if you want to take your time and enjoy not only your meal, but also your company. Reservations are a good idea, too. This joint was packed! BYOB and eons of parking out front in the lot. I only wish this restaurant was closer to where we live. Two thumbs up!

    My better half is a very picky sushi eater. He will only eat from the kitchen of Yong Kim. We are never disappointed and recently switched to getting take out. Quality of the fish is consistently fresh with umami flavor. We love the innovative dishes with the eye catching presentation. Seek no others, this is in my husband's opinion the best!

    3 years later from my original review, and this place is still the hands down best sushi in the burb! Chef Yong Kim knows what he is doing! We like sitting at sushi bar and doing the Omakase, but truly you can't go wrong with anything you order.

    Yea it's a good sushi place but the price is high and it doesn't justify the quality/portion of food. Will not return.
