When I was looking through Yelp for a restaurant, what caught my eyes was the bento box so I…read moredecided to give this place a try. It was located by china town Victoria and a little hidden away. However, once you walk in it is beautiful! Very much gives of Japan vibes. I order the bento box and it comes with a few sushi pieces and tempura. I thought the tempura was okay and the sushi was pretty good. The ramen was alright as well. I think it's cause San Diego has so many good places so I was too spoiled. The best dish was the tofu appetizer, it came with a little dashi or soy sauce and it was so good. My favorite was the salmon sushi and the roll we got out of the main dishes that we ordered Overall this place isn't bad for a quick dine in.

Amazing bistro that is near chinatown. It has a very lowkey signage I almost missed it when I…read morewalked by it. They have good sushi combos and lunch deals. Their tempuras are amazing and ramen soup base was super flavorful. Went here multiple times, service was a bit slow the second time I went otherwise I love their interior decor and ambiance

The platter included oysters, scallops, hamachi, tuna, sockeye salmon, prawns, prawn heads, and squid. Surprisingly the squid was really good, since I am not normally a squid sashimi person, but it was so tender. The oysters were creamy, and the scallops were nice and sweet. The oshi was supposed to come with truffle, but I couldn't taste any. Other than that it was very tasty.

However we were able to be seated at the bar and it was great nonetheless. Service was excellent, the bartender who also took our order was super nice and gave great recommendations. She even gave us secondary suggestions for food that was out for the day. Inside was pretty lively, good interior and clean. Overall, not too pricy for good quality sushi and seafood. The portions for each roll/ nigiri/ sashimi piece was very reasonable as well. Loved it! A good sushi spot in Victoria! Definitely recommend.

They did provide more toppings than expected. Service was pleasant and attentive. Overall, it was a decent visit. Nothing too memorable but it did the job.

The only thing they said was the food isn't ready and would be longer - they were not apologetic in any way (I had preordered the food more than 3 hours in advance), I had also asked for cutlery for 3 and was provided with 2. Other guests came into the restaurant too and were not greeted nor acknowledged. They were chatting amongst each other about how it's odd multiple servers came by and yet no one was able to assist them but the hostess who was nowhere to be found...

Aside from the standard otoro and chutoro from blue fin tuna, they also had toro cuts from hamachi and albacore. I had to try all the toro cuts and actually I landed on the chutoro being my preferred belly sashimi. The bite of the night however went to the uni sashimi which can always be hit or miss. It was probably some of the best and fresh tasting uni I have had! The hamachi sashimi was also a stand out and actually tasted better than the hamachi toro. Service was actually pretty great and their suggestions (which included the uni) were spot on. Definitely need to branch out to the wagyu next time!
