We discovered the raw oysters are pre- shucked in the morning and ponzu sauce is already drizzled on. Maybe this is typical? But we were not a fan. We like to dress our oysters and felt like the ponzu sauce is there to mask a smell. The sushi was good and decently fresh. The presentation was nice and colorful which makes the photos very aesthetic. It was a pleasant experience overall but there's a lot of competition nearby. Wishing them best of luck.

I didn't see the omakase on the menu like I thought I would. Sashimi was fresh and great, but with raw spinach and salad on the bottom? Spinach has a distinct flavor already. Why not use radish like most other sushi restaurants? Food took forever because only one person was cooking and another was the sushi chef. We got complimentary edamame for our patience, which we appreciated.

I was a huge fan of this place when it was strictly Japanese...and was quite bummed when I heard…read morethey changed this restaurant from Japanese to Asian fusion. In any case, I finally decided to check out the place for dinner. Well, right away, I saw that they added more tables. Even with more tables, the restaurant still seemed pretty spacious. I've always loved the spaciousness of this place...but I find the layout a bit awkward. Unless you come with a group of 4, you'll most likely be seated in the open area...where there's just this utter lack of privacy. So yeah, as nice as this place is, there's a certain lack of comfort and coziness? I also noticed that their menu/menus looked quite different. Initially I was handed just this Korean-Chinese menu...and when I asked if they had Bento Boxes, they handed me the Japanese menu, but I didn't see any sushi rolls on the menu (??). I should have asked, but I just let that go. In retrospect, I really regret not asking. But then again, I wonder why they didn't hand out ALL the menus right off the bat? Who knows...Maybe they had a third menu with a list of sushi rolls?? ANYWAY, I ended up ordering their Bulgogi Bento, which turned out to be quite substantial in portion, and well presented. The thing I didn't like was the bland, undercooked Bulgogi, with excessive fat. I've been getting served a lot of Bulgogi like this lately around town..and it has somewhat turned me off to Bulgogi in general. I personally prefer a much better cooked Bulgogi, with less fat. I enjoyed the Japchae, as well as the fried sides, but frankly, all the foods were all lacking in full Korean flavor. Some of the sides in the bento just seemed off...like these lackluster Avocado Sushi Rolls and a generic Salad (??). I felt that for the 32-dollar pricing, the sides should have been much better. This bento also came with Egg Drop Soup...but again, too bland. Guess I should have poured some soy sauce. As usual, the service was really good though. They even added this complimentary post-meal drink...this might have been the best part of my entire meal? I still think this is a really nice restaurant, with a lot to offer. I just didn't like how it got rid of many of its stellar Japanese menu items. Also, unfortunately, I just didn't like what I ordered. Again, the Bulgogi was too mild and too fatty...and all the foods in the Bento tasted a bit too bland. If I was to return, I would definitely not repeat the Bulgogi Bento. If they really don't have any sushi rolls, guess I'd order something Chinese?

This sushi spot is nestled in a strip of other business, but deserves it's OWN standalone location!…read more I've had sushi from many establishments. Yet, there is something special about Flying Roll. Anything from it's cozy, quiet atmosphere to the flavor-forward rolls, I'd go so far as to say, there's nothing that would disappoint. We dined on Shumai and Rangoon with our hot green tea. The rolls arrived in very good time following - The Triple X, Lobster Love and Snow Mountain rolls. The Shumai was very tasty, but the Rangoon had with more crab than cream cheese - a first, much to our pleasure. For the rolls, each was enough for one person. The standout was the Lobster Lover, followed very closely by the Triple X. The snow mountain roll was a bit heavy with the tempura flakes ( the Snow? ) but decent overall. Recapping, the service, flavors and vibe all warrant future visits for certain, if for no other reason than to try their other offerings, which are plentiful! Even the drive itself would not be a factor. BON APPÉTIT

This is a spot that I've personally been keeping to myself for a while now, because it's just that good. Why this place is just that good: 1 Japanese sushi chef & staff 2 Taste & texture just like Japan 3 Vibes & service just like Japan 4 Chef's choice flights with no filler, like egg, squid, shrimp, etc. All fish. 5 No Michelin stars needed because here, I feel like I'm back in Japan at a hidden local mom & pop spot. Gritty, charming, and hidden. Not convinced about this underrated spot? Good, don't go, so it won't be crowded. It's easier for those that actually like eating sushi as it's intended to be, raw. For me, this is my top Japanese sushi spot OTP after literally trying them all.

The variety of sushi was splendid, they gave nigiri sushi along with cooked sushi. The wings were yummy as well as their shrimp crab boil. I wish I would've gotten a picture of the crab boil but it was legit with the little crabs and corn - I think the only thing missing was the potatoes.

I also really liked the pineapple ice cream. The buffet offered plenty of variety, including fried rice, bulgogi (which the guys really enjoyed), and lots of other dishes to choose from. Dinner on a Friday night was $40.99 per person. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated inside, making it a pleasant place to eat. I'd definitely come back for lunch to take advantage of the lower price.
