The Service was quick and they came by enough to know that you are being taken care of. Even with a packed house, the food came out fresh and quick! Food - Kani Salad - Classic. One of my favorites when done right. The crunch of the tempura was still clinging to the salad instead of turning into mush from the cucumbers. Spicy Scallop Roll - Great texture. A simple roll with a slight kick. I was a little surprised with the crunch of tempura to give the roll more texture besides the chopped scallops. Love Roll - Citrusy. A big roll with a citrus salad topping. It helped cut the richness of of the meal Arata Roll - Favorite! The presence of mango wasn't overpowering and gave it sweetness. It was a nice contract to have in flavor with all the savory options. On to my next adventure....

The staff were kind, attentive, and thoughtful, with great attention to detail that made the whole celebration feel extra special. The rock shrimp tempura was surprisingly delicious and a pleasant surprise! The hibachi was flavorful, and my son especially loved the Angus beef. The sashimi and sushi were beautifully presented on an ice bowl with floral decorations. The presentation was impressive and made for some great pictures! The desserts were fantastic, too! We enjoyed the chocolate birthday cake decorated with candles and a "Happy Birthday" message, along with the tiramisu and fried ice cream. A special touch was having our waiter sing the Happy Birthday song, which made the celebration even more memorable. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a team that truly cared about the little details. Thank you for helping make my mom's birthday so special! We look forward to coming back again.

We went for lunch, two of us. First of all, the restaurant is beautiful. Contemporary decor, very…read moreelegantly done. We sat in a booth by the window and it was lovely. The only negative about the ambiance was that it was quite loud. The high ceilings didn't do much to absorb sound, so it was hard to hear my companion unless we leaned forward and spoke pretty loudly. The booth was very comfortable, the table spotless, and even the menu was clean (a small pet peeve of mine). The tap water came in a beautiful glass with a straw, although the water itself tasted a bit chemical-like. They have a lunch menu with very reasonable prices. We ordered a sushi-sashimi combo and stir-fried soba with vegetables. The lunch menu is limited, so they also gave us the regular menu. Oddly, only 1 regular menu was provided for 2 people, so we had to keep passing it back and forth. It's an easy fix that would make browsing much easier. We ended up ordering an appetizer and a signature roll from the regular menu too. The lunch specials came with salad or soup. We chose the salad, which was mostly romaine with a typical Japanese dressing. The portion was larger than expected for a side salad, and the lettuce was fresh and crunchy. Our appetizer was the Lobster Tapas: "Spicy lobster & shrimp wrapped with seared pepper tuna." This was delicious. There were 5 little towers with very fresh ingredients and 2 excellent sauces--a chunky green sauce and a sweeter orange sauce. The tuna was flavorful and very tender. At this point we were already planning to come back with the rest of the family. Next came the sushi-sashimi combo. There were 9 pieces of sashimi beautifully presented on ice, plus 3 pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll. The sashimi was very fresh, tender, and flavorful, especially the tuna. Unfortunately, the spicy tuna roll was the weak point. It tasted dry, lacked flavor, and seemed to contain far more crunchy fillers than tuna. It reminded me of a meatball with too much breadcrumb and not enough meat. I'd rather have a smaller roll with better-quality fish than a larger one padded with fillers. The spicy tropical roll was also disappointing. It too seemed to contain more fillers than fish, and the sauce was a little too sweet. It didn't taste fish-forward enough for a "signature" roll. The flavors leaned more fusion than authentic Japanese. If ingredient cost is the issue, I'd gladly pay a few dollars more for a better fish-to-filler ratio. The stir-fried soba with "vegetables" was also disappointing. The noodles didn't taste like Japanese buckwheat soba, and the both the taste + presentation reminded me of instant ramen. The flavor was decent but nothing memorable, and there were only a few pieces of zucchini--nowhere near enough vegetables to justify the name of the dish. The service was good overall. Our server was very sweet and friendly but definitely could use more training. While we were both trying to read the single menu, she interrupted to take our order instead of asking if we needed another minute--or even better, bringing us a second menu. Not a huge issue, but not especially pro or polished. As we were finishing, we ordered a couple of takeout items for a family member. The server kindly offered to package our leftovers with the takeout, which was appreciated. However, when the bill arrived, 1 of the takeout dishes was missing. It took a while to get her attention, and when we did, she reprinted the check without explaining how much longer the forgotten item would take. She did swing back to say she'd ask the chef to expedite, but we still waited quite a while, making us late for a meeting. As for the takeout, the Valentine Roll was just ok, similar to the signature roll we had at lunch. We also ordered a tuna roll, yellowtail roll, and sweet potato roll. None were bad, but they lacked the flavor we expected. Whether it was the rice or the ingredients, they just didn't stand out. Overall, it was a nice lunch. The beautiful restaurant, fresh sashimi, generous salad, and excellent appetizer showed a lot of promise. Unfortunately, too many of the rolls relied on fillers instead of fish, the soba missed the mark, and there were a few service missteps. They're very close--just a handful of small, doable improvements could elevate the experience from okay to outstanding. I hope they do.

As for the food, most of the sushi was delicious, nicely presented and well prepared, though the crispy tuna came out a little crunchier than I'd prefer. Overall, good flavors but the service and a few small details kept it from being an ideal visit.

The owner, Kelly, also greeted us. Kelly is always warm and gracious, and her wonderful smile truly brightens the entire room. Since we arrived a little earlier tonight, we settled into our usual large booth by the front, our favorite spot. It was cozy and comfortable, making the evening even more relaxing. The sushi has been consistently fresh and delicious. We usually order the Sushi for Two to share, but tonight, after finishing our first order, we immediately ordered a second one. It was simply that good--and we couldn't stop! We did the exact same thing last week, which says a lot about how much we enjoy the sushi here. The Sushi for Two generally includes 18 pieces of premium-quality fish, such as King Salmon, Bluefin Tuna, Fatty Tuna, Madai, Branzino, and more, along with a choice of two signature makimono rolls. We always choose the Dozo Dozo for me and the Angel Roll for hubby. Each order also comes with a choice of soup or salad, and we always go with the soup. Tonight, we also ordered a large bottle of chilled Dassai 45 sake. It was aromatic, fruity, and slightly sweet, with a wonderfully smooth and flavorful taste that paired beautifully with the sushi. We enjoyed it so much that we wished we could finish the entire bottle, but since we had to drive home, we stopped halfway and took the rest home with us. We were actually happy to have some left to enjoy later at home. Another wonderful evening, and another reminder of why we keep coming back almost every week!

Consequently, I've had the privilege of trying out multiple of their dishes. To start off, I usually come in around 4PM on my off time and there are plenty of seats available. That said, I cannot attest for how the service or fud is during more bustling hours. When you sit down, the waiter brings these jars of cold water. Extremely helpful during a hot summer day. When I first arrived, I had the Shrimp Tempura Ramen. The tempura was perfect and crunchy, but I didn't think the actual ramen was anything special. The marinated egg was runny, the bamboo shoots were the good type of sour, and the ramen was easily gripped by the chopsticks. My second time here I ordered the Spicy Tantan Ramen and the Karaage Calamari. The ramen lived up to its name, the tantan was flavorful, the bok choy soaked up the broth extremely well, the bean sprouts were delicious as well. The Karaage Calamari earned my favorite appetizer award. The sauce that came with it helped the flavor. My third time here I went for the Sukiyaki Beef Udon, which was by far my favorite on the list. The broth was umami and rich, the udon was chewy, the beef wasn't dry, and the bok choy and bean sprouts once again soaked up the broth. I'm typically neutral to umami foods, but this dish made me question my standing. My fourth time here I went for the Seafood Udon, which consisted of mussels, shrimp, saffron, mushroom, bean sprouts, scallions, bok choy, and even some chili. The chili was a very nice touch and I enjoyed the mushrooms very cc car much. I also got takeout from this restaurant which was Takoyaki and the Tonkatsu Curry Ramen. I did not take photos because I wouldn't have done it justice. The Takoyaki was delicious and hot, I suggest waiting for it to cool down before digging in. The Tonkatsu Curry Ramen was good and the Tonkatsu was crispy. I would also like to shoutout my waitress for refilling my water without me asking, I'm a chugger and a bit socially awkward so I have a hard time asking for stuff so this was greatly appreciated. They also sell merch--imagine my surprise when I saw vocaloid merch hung up at the back--$25 for each. I GIVE THIS PLACE A CC CAR 5* RATING
