Great prices on the rolls. However, flavor was lacking. Frankly, the rolls were boring. Boring looking and boring tasting. I wished they had other items that were not sushi, like hot items - fried rice, stir fried noodles, etc. I guess you could come here, but only if you live close by, to satisfy a quick sushi craving. But don't bother if you live more than 10 min away. read more

Location is so good for where my boyfriend lives, interior is trendy and cute and service was GREAT! We honestly came in with very low expectations and wow the rolls were SO good! We loved that the menu had pictures next to the rolls and that the AYCE was a reasonable price and included apps and dessert. One star off because the fried ice cream left a lot to be desired but we will absolutely be back! read more

This was our first coming here and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic!. We had The Carson City roll, Captain Crunch, Godzilla roll, Protein roll and the Crown Royal. We have found a new Sushi place!! read more

We checked this place out recently and it quickly jumped to the top of our sushi list in town. First thing that stood out was the freshness of the fish. You can absolutely taste the quality. The menu has a ton of options too, from classic rolls to more creative choices, so it's easy to find something you're in the mood for. I ordered the Snow Mountain Roll and it was amazing. Definitely one I'd get again. We also tried the Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck rolls and both were super fresh and really well done. The jalapeño poppers were seriously yummy too and made a great appetizer. Service was fast, friendly, and really attentive without being over the top. The staff made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. The vibe inside was great too. Cool, relaxed atmosphere that makes it a fun spot whether you're going for a a casual dinner or meeting friends. Honestly the only regret is that I didn't take pictures before we started eating because everything looked as good as it tasted. Overall, great food, great service, great vibe. Safe to say we found a new go to sushi spot and we'll definitely be back. read more

Whoaaaa, great nigiri sushi. Probably the best I have ever had at an ayce sushi restaurant! The pieces were small and perfect fish to rice ratio. I ordered quite a bit and because the size was so good I could eat more and I appreciated it. The only other item I ordered was the chicken karrage. It was made to order so it was still crispy and hot! It was only two pieces so left room to order more which is nice! The menu here is almost all included on the ayce and offers a lot of choices. They have a sushi bar so you can sit there as well as the tables. When we arrived we were the only ones there at lunch time so the services was super quick. As the restaurant started to get busy the single server was not as attentive and I felt rushed by him since I was the only one in our party of 4 that ordered the ayce. I could have eaten more for sure, but felt cut off, maybe because the others at my table were done eating... Must mention how clean this restaurant was as well! Everything was spotless including the restrooms. Will def return and highly recommend! read more

My family & I tried this place out & were pleasantly surprised. The menu had some rolls we hadn't tried along with our regulars. Everything was very tasty & fresh. The rolls were the perfect size for us. Our daughters ordered the salmon platter & the tempura shrimp platter. Both of those were good also. The salmon platter was exceptional! We all had the tempura bananas for dessert which were yummy too. The waitresses we had were very friendly & kept our drinks full. The sushi chefs forgot a couple of the rolls we had ordered, but that's the only thing I can say that wasn't great (but even with that, they made the rolls as soon as we mentioned a couple were forgotten & apologized). The restaurant itself is very bright, clean & inviting. We will definitely be back! read more

Good sushi for a good price. I had the AYCE. It was good. Service was quick. Good presentation. 4 stars instead of 5 because the qual egg shooter was terrible and had no qual egg. Some of the sushi rolls had a lot of rice and very little filling. Otherwise everything was on point. read more

Look--when it comes to sushi, I'm loyal. I know what I like, I have my spot, and I don't sway. But word on the street was that this new sushi in Carson was worth checking out. So, of course, curiosity won--and wow, am I glad it did! This place is legit. In a region packed with sushi heavyweights, this spot holds its own--and dare I say, might've knocked a few giants off their thrones. First off, the rolls are slightly smaller with less rice than most places--which might sound like a negative, but it's actually genius. You don't get stuffed too fast, which means you can sample MORE. More rolls = more joy = winning at life. The ambiance? Fun, energetic, but not overwhelming. The service? Michelin star-level plate ninjas. Empty plate? Gone in 60 seconds. Water low? Already refilled before you noticed. And the rolls? They came out fast. Like, "did they read our minds?" fast. Every single one we ordered was spot-on, beautifully made, and landed on our table in under five minutes. I don't know what kind of sushi magic this is--but I am here for it. If you're in the area and looking to expand your sushi horizons without straying too far from the classics, this place is 100% worth it. I'll still be loyal to my usual spot...I just have two now ;) But Carson's got a new contender that might just steal your sushi heart. read more

This place is absolutely delicious! We stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch. We were served by the owner and he is so friendly. The CR7 is my favorite roll of all times.

I am not too sure how this place is getting the high stars it has... the food was not very good. Their dipping sauces were terrible, the (pictured) rainbow roll had the most skimpy of fish portions imaginable. I do have good things to report though...! The server was quick and responsive but there was only me and one other table occupied by one other person. The restaurant was clean, but perhaps because not too many customers...? Anyway, I very rarely do this, but I asked for my check early and after paying, left the entire meal besides the couple of bites I had taken behind. Not good. I then went next door to the ramen place and got a great meal! Sad to say, but I do not recommend this establishment. read more

Got some take out rolls. They were all delish, the service though, was excellent. I brought my baby in his carseat inside to pay, didn't realize how much I ordered, and the server realized I didn't have enough hands and she walked my order out to the car with me. The inside of the restaurant was cute and we'll eat in one of these days, but these take out options are awesome. read more

This sushi restaurant blew my mind! Every roll we ordered was made to perfection! They have the usual rolls you would expect at sushi restaurants then they offer some amazing, off the cuff rolls, like the Chicken little roll, made with crispy chicken!! It was incredible. Best sushi in town, by far! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was clean and relaxing! We will definitely be back! read more

I was curious of this new place, and so I tried it out. Do not recommend! Not good sushi at all, rice is too hard, the portion is small and stingy on the fish. See photo, top one is caterpillar roll, bottom is rainbow roll, another one is a spider roll. Rainbow roll they don't want to give you sashimi, so they put super thin slices that barely covers the top, the tobiko is super mini that even the supermarket ones carry bigger ones. Which I always buy regular sized tobiko from 168 Asian Market in Reno. Spider roll, this is the most mini spider roll I have ever seen. These rolls quality is like the ones from the supermarket refrigerated made ready sushi. Save your time no need to try this place. Reno Peppermill's Oceano and Atlantis Osyter bar & Sushi are way better, and it is worth it. read more

Carson City's newest Sushi place has opened. It's been open for about a week now. It's located right near the In N Out at Topsy Lane. It's all bright and clean inside with tables and sushi bar seating. I was here for the AYCE lunch for $27.95 per person. That includes all appetizers and sushi and dessert. We had to request plates and the setups with the wasabi and ginger. I think the server is still learning what needs to be done. The appetizers are ordered from the server and the rest of the food is ordered using the check off sheet with all the options listed. If you sit at the bar, I think you can just skip the list and order directly from the chef like most places. The miso soup was missing the concentrated flavor of richness that it should have, I think just using more of the miso paste would help. The Gyoza came in three's and were deep fried. Pretty decent. The mussels I assume would have been the standard baked with cheese topping in the shell, but were instead mussels in a broth served in a spoon. I did like the presentation, but the temp of the broth was room temp and I would think it would have been better served hotter. We started our sushi with an assortment of nigiri. The pieces were cut on the smaller side, not way small, but a bit smaller than what you might see most places. I will say they did well on the rice prep, not over sweet and not too sticky so as to be mushy. The quality of the fish itself was not the best I've had in the area, but not the worst at all. The salmon was tender but some of the others were a little more firm than usual, like the mackerel. The albacore wasn't as melty in the mouth as some I've had, but certainly not the worst. The rolls were cut smaller as well in length and diameter. I get that with smaller rolls you won't get filled up and they were made without going overboard on the rice. But the pieces were sliced real thin as well, so with each piece you don't get enough in your mouth to get the proper feeling of texture and flavor of the piece. I took two pieces in my mouth and that was better but just a little too much food. The solution would be to cut the roll with thicker pieces, maybe 1 1/2 times the present thickness. I'd actually like to see the rolls rolled a slightly large diameter as well. There were some creative rolls that I've not seen anywhere else, so that's was a pleasant surprise. Dessert was included, ice cream mochi or a tempura banana, but I'm not a fan of bananas so I had ice cream. Over all a 4 star experience, there can be some improvements as mentioned. One of the weaker points was the server experience level, she just needs to learn a lot more, like what all the fish are and the rolls and how they compare to just being a little more efficient in her movements, like if you bring a clean plate, take away the dirty pile at the same time , so you don't have to make a separate trip to the table to get the dirty plates. Just easy stuff, but hopefully with experience service will improve. The sushi itself was quality and good, but I'll give it time to be at the top of the sushi game. One other thing, the MUSIC in the place need to be turned down from this beat heavy "music" to something more conducive to a serene sushi experience, cause I don't wanna be eating sushi in a freakin nightclub! Give the place a try and see what you think. read more

The gushing reviews were either paid to write them or diners who have never eaten sushi prepared by trained sushi chefs. 1) The sushi rice was not fresh nor was it properly seasoned or prepared. 2) I ordered 3 different sushi rolls and they arrived containing the same 3 ingredients. 3) The seaweed salad was soggy and bland. 4) The miso soup was bland and watered down. No need to go on. Clearly, no one who prepared the sushi is a trained sushi chef. read more

Absolutely awesome! Came here for lunch Sunday afternoon. Lots of seating at the bar and in the dining room. Light and bright. Very clean. Our server Haydee was very sweet! We ordered the Topsy, CR7, Hot August Night, fried banana and gyoza! Everything was amazing. Fresh, fast and beautiful. Great portions and very reasonably priced. They were very accommodating when a different fish was requested on one of the rolls. We will absolutely be back! read more

This was my husband's and I's first time going here. We were super excited to check out one of the new sushi spots in town. We got sat immediately, and instantly the waitress got us our drinks. It started off very nice! The waitress kept pushing all of our drinks and food to my husband for my husband to pass to me. I was in the corner so I will give her that but I felt a little off by it. She did check up on us a lot which was good, and the sushi chefs were really nice. During this time they had soccer and music going on with equal amount of sound, my husband and I were so overwhelmed it was terrible. Halfway into our time, they did mute the game, so I want to also give that to them. By this time, we were a little annoyed and wanted to try the food out. I tried the miso soup, and the tofu was cold, and it felt like cold tofu and beef broth. I love a good miso soup so I was sad by the outcome. We tried the pot stickers and it tasted like the potstickers we had in our freezer. We were both super bummed. I then ordered mussels, and the mussels came out super quick, and were very cold in the middle. Which is a bummer because I only go to sushi for the mussels. I will say they had a very nice egg rolls, those were delicious and probably the best thing on the menu. We then moved to the rolls. My husband ordered the Godzilla and I tried the captain crunch. I was not a fan of the captain crunch, I felt like I had the Walmart imitation crab slivers in my mouth, and continued to eat the avocado and rice which were delicious. All around, I probably wouldn't recommend this unless you're dying to add someone new onto your bucket list. My husband and I both left within 30 minutes of being there, and left with terrible stomach aches. I'm not sure I would try it again, but I would say the staff was really nice and attentive. read more

This is a great addition to Carson City. The restaurant has an all you can eat option for both lunch and dinner. I think the dinner option is about $35. I did not get the all you can eat option because I was not very hungry. I will note that I got the a la carte calamari and it only came with 2 pieces of calamari, the size of 2 onion rings. So I highly recommend you ask about portions when ordering appetizers. The sushi was pretty good and tasted fresh. I did think that service was slow and I didn't think the place was very busy. I would go back if I was in the area already. read more
