Therefore, of course, I had to try it. ***DO NOT USE APPLE MAPS. USE GOOGLE MAPS!! Using Apple Maps resulted in me circling the area TWICE until I used Google Maps.*** FOOD: omg their meals are so reasonably priced especially their omakase. I don't think I've ever met a $30 omakase. The sushi rice was nicely blended. Strange how there wasn't wasabi instantly included in the nigiri. Fake wasabi provided on the side. Yellow ginger. Nice cuts of fish. Tonkatsu very dry. Completely disliked how the sauce was automatically included on top... I wished it was given on the side. Wished there was a lemon slice provided as well. Miso soup was not good at all. Salad dressing was very appetizing. SERVICE: Simple and straightforward. No trouble given. VIBEZ: Typical modern Japanese decor with the added touch of figures. Casual. Great for large groups. Located in downtown Salinas. Parking scattered but free 90 minutes parking (8am to 4pm). Would I come back? Yes! I'm excited to try their other offerings, particularly their rolls.

Lots of options to choose from as the menu itself already provides an abundance of items, but there is an extended menu of more specials and sushi rolls posted on the walls all around the restaurant. We shared the Street Fighter Roll, the Sushi Combo - Samurai, and I had a side salad and miso soup. I would agree with some of the other reviews here that the sashimi was fresh and the cuts were generous. I also appreciate how the sushi rice ratio wasn't an overkill so we were able to enjoy more of the sashimi and sushi toppings. Would definitely return to try other menu items!

Food quality was very disappointing…read more Chicken katsu is usually one of our favorite dishes, but this visit was a letdown. The chicken was overcooked, extremely thin, dry, and rubbery. It was so tough that it was difficult to chew and actually hurt our gums and mouth after a few bites. For the price we paid about $65 for three plates and a couple of drinks, the quality is so poor. We expected something much better, especially for such a simple dish.

The cuts were generous and incredibly fresh. The Tekka Maki rolls were rolled perfectly, with a great bite and, again, very fresh.

It was definitely firm, which makes sense since it was fried, but the contrast worked well. Sweet and savory with the crispy exterior overall, really good. Service was fast and efficient, with a very attentive server. The ambiance was clean, nice, and relaxed. It wasn't very busy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

They graciously remade the jasmine milk tea because it was way too sweet the first time! They redid it at 50% and it was perfect. Also I appreciate that the tea is actual brewed tea and not powder! My son devoured the chicken fried rice! I must admit it was delicious! It came out piping hot and freshly made.
