Our…read moreserver was great and really helped us figure out what to order since there were a lot of options on the menu. She was super attentive too and kept refilling our drinks throughout the meal. We tried a mix of specialty rolls and more basic rolls. Most of the specialty rolls were around $15 each, while the basic rolls were under $10. The spicy tuna rolls were especially good for the price because they were cheap, but still came out huge. Overall the portions were very generous and the prices weren't bad at all. I got the Hell Fire roll and it definitely lived up to the name. I handle spicy food really well and even for me this thing was extremely spicy. It was almost painfully hot, but honestly I kind of enjoyed the challenge, It was also really good besides just being spicy, so I'd definitely get it again. The inside also had a cool vibe with all the colorful lighting and it wasn't too busy when we went which was nice. Most of our sushi came out almost immediately. The fried rolls understandably took a little longer since they had to be made fresh. My only small complaint is I wish everything would of came out closer to the same time, because some of us already had food while we were still waiting on the fried rolls. Overall, really good food, huge portions, fair prices and great service, definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Was HIGHLY disappointed. Clearly this place isn't the best for sashimi. Ordered a sashimi and a healthier roll (rainbow roll). While the roll was good & fresh. The tuna sashimi was the exact opposite, it did not feel fresh at all and we had just taken one bite of the piece, almost like frozen and had a fishy smell and taste to it, that's something one would not clearly want to consume. I was super disappointed, thought would take it home and let it sit for a bit, but, was too skeptical and the smell got little stronger just 5-6 mins of a car ride back home and just had to get rid of it. Not sure if will go back again..

We walked in a weekday night and found the dining area quite small and full, except for their final open table next to the entrance. We took that spot and found out 'the hard way' they have those dastardly uncomfortable metal chairs. Not only is the seat firm and not cushioned, the bar that wraps around pinches in on your hip. We almost left but decided to tough it out. Our server was attentive and friendly and our order came out quite quickly. We ordered a few specialty rolls like their sweet potato roll, dragon roll and caterpillar roll. I also ordered a salmon sashimi. All of the rolls were well presented and best of all, tasty! It's not near the best sushi I've had, but it filled the craving we had. The wall murals and decor were simple but classy. We also noticed the noise level was good despite many people in a small space. Overall, this is a nice little neighborhood spot for sushi and worth a visit!

They also have fantastic happy hour and lunch specials that make it easy to stop by more often without breaking the bank. I honestly come back again and again for the spicy edamame and the spicy tuna on crispy rice -- both are absolutely amazing and packed with flavor. The spicy tuna on crispy rice is perfectly done every time, with just the right crunch and spice, and the spicy edamame is seriously addictive. I've also tried the tempura, shrimp tempura roll, miso soup, and several other rolls, and everything I've ordered has been fresh and delicious. You can really tell they take pride in the quality of their food.

I highly recommend visiting during their happy hour, which is M-F till 5 and Saturday and Sunday till 4. The prices are insane on their food. The beverages aren't much of a deal, but we come here for the food not the drinks. Their house made iced tea is on the happy hour list and it is quite good, but expect to pay normal prices on beer, wine, and saki. Every roll we have had has been good and I would order again. We also enjoy their miso soup, edamame, and potstickers. Pros: *Amazing happy hour *Delicious food *Nice Atmosphere *Beautiful presentation and tableware Cons: *Disappointing when you miss happy hour haha *Staff are responsive and attentive but not too friendly *No good drink specials

It's located on the southwest corner of Gilbert and Queen Creek. They have a nicely lit sign to easily find the place at night. The interior was a little smaller than I anticipated, but it was clean and spacious. There's a bar in the back for counter-top service. Our server was very friendly and prompt. We decided to split 3 rolls- spicy tuna, sweet potato and crazy salmon. They were all quite tasty and it was just enough food for a decent price. I didn't see any really adventurous rolls on menu so if you're looking for unique items you may want to inquire when dining here. They have ramen and a few non-sushi dishes on the menu if sushi isn't your thing. Overall this is a good option for a more casual sushi environment in southern Gilbert. Thanks Shinme for the nice dining experience.
