Sons and I went for sushi tonight. Quiet night for restaurant, but staff struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without hovering. Prices seemed fair... and then the rolls came out. Portion sizes were gigantic. We did 4 chef special rolls, an order of amaebi (sweet shrimp, 2pc), sweet tea and large hot sake - tab with tax was $102. But we are all stuffed. They will customize order within reason (we did golden lobster, requested no mayo). 1st visit, very good experience.
It certainly wasn't bad sushi, that's for sure, in fact, I really did like it A LOT... So much so that I just wish the portion sizes (especially for the price tags) were bigger. My meal was pretty dang small (portion size wise) even though I feel like I ordered a ton. I will say, I'm VERY impressed with the waitress / staff because I ordered my food over the phone and the woman taking my order was very attentive and even called me back to verify a few things (I order very specific things). I absolutely applaud their efforts and nothing in my order was wrong! If I lived in the area, I'd probably get food from here again but not without trying other spots first... Salmon Skin is VERY important to me... And while I'm THRILLED this restaurant even had the option, I'm sad to report that the salmon skin handrolls I ordered were TINY! PS: it's best to eat at the restaurant or order take out over the phone... I checked Uber Eats prices and they jack them up SOOOOO HIGH and 1/2 the menu isn't even on Uber Eats too!
Absolutely our new favorite sushi restaurant. Our favorite is the lobster roll yummy yummy in my tummy .
Very good sushi!! Neighborhood place. We tried a few rolls, salad, and appetizer and the bill came to $69.00 before tip. The rolls were an excellent value, and served and explained very nicely by our waiter. I will be going back to sushi for sure!!
The door looked so small, we didn't expect the restaurant to be decent size! The waitress was nice and friendly. We came on a late Friday night. The food was good. They even had fatty tuna (a bit pricer than others in town). The sake was also a bit pricer than competitors also. We love our food, surprisingly. We didn't want to be disappointed like the times from other sushi restaurants so we wasn't expecting that much. I do have to point out that the sushi was made with extra rice. Nevertheless, we will be coming back again to try other items on the menu.
The restaurant is far lovelier than its inauspicious strip mall location would have you believe. Service is very attentive and food came to the table piping hot. Miso was deeply savory, not a lot of tofu though. Veggie tempura was 8 pieces, onion, carrot, Japanese yam and pumpkin/acorn squash. Large pieces and the coating light and crispy. Shu mai and gyoza probably came out of a bag, but were fine. Suspect Korean dumplings as they were a mite spicy, but yummy nonetheless. They offer brown rice, which I appreciate! Husband had the House Fried Rice, a large portion with lots of meat. He was offered yum-yum sauce which to my shock, he LOVED! A nice, quiet place with good food!
Food is absolutely amazing! Service was excellent, this is definitely one of my top 5 favorite sushi places!
this was me giving the place a second chance. I called and asked if I could make my own roll and they said no but I could modify one. I asked if they had anything with crunch, crab mix, and masago, they said I could do the super crunch roll. this has salmon, eel, avocado, cucumber and crunch. but they didnt tell me that. I said ok and this is what I got. it's horrible. many sushi places let me just get a roll with masago, crunch, and crab mix all inside the roll. I'm pregnant and it's wol I want. it's not hard and I pay whatever they ask for it. be more accommodating kenzo.
This place has a lot of good reviews so it sucked I didn't have a great time here. I went in not expecting super fresh fish, since it's inland. But the fish was so masked by sauces, you can't tell if it's fresh. The inside is small and pleasant, it was clean, there was lots of little plates and soy sauce bowls stacked on the tables. First up, the waiter was not friendly. He was kind of short at some points. Never cleared any of the plates I was stacking up off the table. Never refilled drink. I noticed on the menu there were no sushi rolls under $10. Normally a salmon avocado roll or spicy tuna roll will run you less than that. But there weren't simpler rolls like that on the menu. I ordered the Korean kimchi and it was lousy. Lacking in flavor and spice. Generous portion, but who wants to eat it. The eel sushi came out cold, but it was a nice presentation. Normally it's grilled in a toaster oven or by torch. The Alaskan roll sounded good, California roll with salmon, crunchy, and some sauce. I couldn't taste anything besides the strong sauce. It utterly destroyed the fish taste. Parts of the bottom of the sushi was made sloppy. The cucumber special roll had other pretty pictures! Mine was little fish and lots of krab and cucumber. The roll peices were much too big and the cucumber cuts were not conducive to holding a sushi peice. It's obviously gonna slide apart if there's no skin to give it some traction. It was too big for my mouth and messy to eat. I couldn't taste anything but cucumber and the sauce it was in. The seafood soup was a big bowl of miso with 4 shrimps and 2 beat up scallops thrown in. I like miso soup and it was the favorite thing I had here. The shrimp and scallops were a little done, but they were probably cooked and thrown in boiling miso, so its to be expected. They seem to do a brisk to-go service and there's a decent sized kitchen. There was adequate staff on hand, I saw 2 chefs, 2 wait staff, and 2 or 3 people in the kitchen. Ultimately the sauce-driven sushi is not for me and there's not a fun staff or environment I want to re-visit to try ordering something else another time.
The food was extraordinary and some of the best sushi we have ever had. The spicy tuna roll, the edamame and the steak fried rice were so fresh tasting, it will make ya wanna slap ya momma. Perfect prep and presentation all the way around. ( P.S. - I am not advocating violence of any type when I say, "smack ya momma it was so good"... it's just a southern expression of something so unbelievably delicious !)
We were staying at the Lake and stopped in last night as I was craving something light and sushi. I looked on Yelp and read the reviews. We walked in about 830pm. It was pretty empty for the 4th of July. The female Asian server was very attentive. Although, she didn't really talk to me. She talked primary to the gentleman I was with. We ordered the speciality rolls: Dynamite, California Tempura, Super Crunch, Spider Roll and Rainbow. It was pretty filling and a lot of fun. I left stuffed.
My search for good sushi in Flowery Branch is over! Great little hidden treasure! I'd say this is the BEST sushi close to Flowery Branch. Generous portions, reasonable prices and best of all, delicious! I ordered the Jalapeño bomb (poppers) and they were amazing! I highly recommend them. They're not really spicy if anyone is wondering. And the monster sushi roll was very good. It was also a generous portion. I couldn't eat it all, had to take some home. I added eel sauce to my roll because I like a touch of sweet sauce. Overall, a great first experience and it won't be my last. I'll be back soon.

We LOVE the sushi rolls here! Always perfect! This time we tried the Crag ranoons which were good but could be crispier. The Green tea wasn't that hot or strong enough according to my husband. We got the big California roll that is deep-fried. It was huge and delicious. I will say it tasted a bit fishy at first bite like maybe the oil needed to be changed or that they fried it with other items that were fishy. The French kiss roll is still my favorite! There was only one server with lots of to-go orders (Sunday at 630) but thankfully we weren't in a rush. Still a favorite for sushi! read more

Much larger restaurant than it appears from the outside! The sushi was okay. I'd put it a notch or two above what you can get at a supermarket for sure but definitely not the best I've had. Specifically the rice lacked moisture and the fish wasn't particularly fresh. Maybe not fair because I've lived in Japan and have definitely been spoiled. All said, decent strip mall sushi but keep your expectations in check. The waitress was nice and friendly and that's the reason I'm rounding up. read more

It was decent. I went because it seemed to be one of the few Japanese restaurants open on Monday. Hamachi jalapeño was delicious, and the rolls were decent. I added mango to one and the fruit was a little mushy so the roll was loose. The fish on top was not good. The other roll was decent. Wish I could remember the names of either roll, but wasn't very impressed. read more

I don't know what happened to have messed our order up so bad, but my guest and I ordered takeout and SPECIFICALLY requested for no Wasabi as we have a Wasabi intolerance. When the food arrived, only 2 sushi dishes out of the 6 we ordered all had Wasabi in the takeout box or touching the sushi. We ordered through Doordash and I specifically requested on the special instructions to NOT include Wasabi FOR EVERY SINGLE DISH. After calling them to see if they can do anything to remedy this, they said they can't and we have to ask Doordash (which was also useless). I dropped $50+ on an order I can't eat most of. Frustrating and I don't want to eat here again. read more

Go here. Ate here because it had the best ratings sushi wise. Ate here again the next day because the reviews were right. Amazing service, not too lax and not always in your face. High quality of food, flavors were excellent. I had two different rolls the first night, then a bento box the second night. Both were absolutely delicious and the box was prepared perfectly. Only complaint is that the place is closed on my third night. If you're searching for sushi, stop. Go here. read more
