The genki was by far our favorite roll, has both salmon and unagi. The chuck-h roll was second, we didn't realize it had cream cheese. The dragon was a CA roll with spice tuna on top, a pretty basic roll but executed as such. The item they give is nice but look around on the walls and order from there is what I recommend.

Chiba absolutely remains a 5/5 for my family and I! We once again came by without a reservation,…read morethis time on a Friday night. We totally thought we'd have to wait but were able to be seated immediately. We also learned this time that while the parking lot remains ultra packed, there is a large outdoor parking lot the side street over for the businesses there that are closed at night (minus the gym) so I think its fine to park there. Spicy Tuna Okoge 5/5, we came for this and this is what I titled "Crunchy rice spicy tuna appetizer" in my last review, pasted here: very fun, comes cut into 4 pieces, definitely a fun appetizer, our waitress recommended this and said it's one of their more popular items Spicy Salmon cut roll 5/5, mildly spicy but leaves you with a stronger spicy aftertaste, soft and very fresh! We would reorder this! Scallop cut roll 3.5/5, fresh but just felt like it was missing something. I think the scallops need more than just a rice wrap. This was improved with soy sauce I think in the future we'd stick to ordering scallops in a more special roll

I honestly can't say enough amazing things about Chiba - it's been one of my favorite restaurant…read morespots since 2008 when I was first introduced to it through a close friend whose dad used to go to the OG location back in the day. To this day, whenever he's in town, I'm there with them, sitting at the bar. The food here is made with love and every item on the menu feels incredibly authentic and flavorful. From sashimi to rolls to the hot dishes, it's all an experience. One of our favorites is the Salmon Toro with Black Caviar- rich, buttery salmon topped with caviar that just elevates the bite. We also love the snapper, uni, oyster uni shooters, soft shell crab hand rolls, and the spicy tuna on crispy rice- honestly, every menu item we've tried has been incredible. And the sweet shrimp (amaebi) is a must. They serve it beautifully fresh and then tempura-batter the shrimp heads so you get that crispy, savory crunch after the delicate sweetness of the shrimp. It's one of those details that makes Chiba so special. Chiba doesn't just serve food, it serves memories. It's fresh, soulful, and just downright delicious. If you love real, honest Japanese flavor, this place should absolutely be on your list.

New and clean design for the restaurant (and nice, accesible and gender-inclusive bathrooms). Simple bar-only seating and friendly excellent service. Food wise, you can't go wrong with anything in the menu, which is why you need to watch your consumption! If you're at a loss, go for one of their handroll sets or their other set meals. Cucumber salad I way more than you expect and includes seaweed and micro greens. From the crudo, I've had the yuzu yellowtail, the seared salmon and seared scallops. All are great but I can't resist salmon -- nice and fatty. All the hand rolls are good but again I lean toward salmon or the creamy crab. Even the nigiriniw good. Don't miss the seared salmon or the sweet scallop. I had matcha iced tea and a sweet ume plum wine. Sweet but strong. Matcha cream was a good portion, with berries If you park in the Fish Grill or Paris Baguette lot, it's 1 hr. In the garage you pay but it's affordable. I'll be back!

It was artfully displayed on boats and sauced plates. Everything tasted very fresh. It was a great ambiance to hang out more so than an intimate date.

I also don't have time to be writing reviews these days. I hope that sets the stage for the weight of the words I am about to say to you So yeah.. sincerely was not expecting much walking into Shiso Sushi. In fact, from the outside, this place honestly looks kinda closed down? Scratched, tinted windows, maybe some graffiti, barely any sign of life except for a faint "OPEN" sign doing its best. I swear I *almost* turned around and went home. Inside doesn't change that first impression tbh. No presentation to the menu design, dated decor, very old school neighborhood sushi joint energy. Then the food hits The fish quality is legit. Clean, fresh, and clearly coming from a strong supplier. The preparation is thoughtful and balanced. This is the kind of place where the food completely outperforms the room. (Only real knock: the rice. It's a bit dense / tightly packed. Missing that airy, delicate texture you'd expect from top tier sushi in Japan) Service was attentive and warm throughout. Honestly, this place is a hidden gem trapped in the wrong wrapper. With a proper redesign makeover... branding, exterior, interior, menu... it could easily punch way above its weight. Until then, just trust the fish 彡

I ordered the Shiso Tempura Roll, which I was expecting a normal roll. Instead the presentation of the plate was spreading out each slide of the roll. For $14 it's not too bad, most specialty rolls would cost significantly more at other sushi places so cost wise this was a pretty good value.
