    The Hurricane (left) and the Angry Tomachi (right)
    Tom W.

    Say what you want about "strip mall sushi", "hole in the wall sushi joint" etc... In the end, it's all about the sushi. When you walk in, the Ambiance is what it is, and it's not a place to go with anyone who's idea of sushi is a glam date night spot. This is a casual, no frills place to take care of the Sushi cravings. Most importantly, you will still crave it when you are done!. The sushi is spot on. It's always well made and delicious. So if you are into sushi, this is a must try! I've taken a number friends here and everyone had left Saying it's the best sushi they've had, and they all go back. I strongly suggest the hurricane roll and off menu is my personal favorite the "Angry Tomachi" it's on the spicy side but it's a must try. Go a few times and they will learn your name, learn what you like, and treat you like family. It's often not packed but they do a lot of take out. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.

    Used to work at the BEST sushi place in NC... This was the best sushi I've had in two years since moving. Marianne & Fran gave great service & Bill created beautiful & delicious sushi rolls! The No Drama was our favorite! Definite recommendation for the area! Five stars! Fast service! Great food! Hot sake!

    This is my go to spot in the Eastlake area for sushi. The owner is usually the behind the sushi bat making rolls. They have a huge variety of fresh rolls that are good for any veteran or newbie sushi eater. I eat here at least once a month and often drive an hour to eat here unless Im in the area for business.

    Wonderful little sushi place, on par with my favorite sushi place in Tampa. Everything was very fresh. Ambience was nice for a casual date night. Service was good as well. Prices are reasonable, but no weekend specials. Nice special roll options with combinations you don't see elsewhere. Highly recommend the 1960 roll.

    A great little sushi restaurant in East Lake that deserves your attention. Fast service and some really imaginative sushi rolls (aside from the normal options). Give them a try, you wont regret it.

    Oh NO!  Mr. Bill.  Found this sign on 4/2.

    Tonight my favorite sushi restaurant was closed -- they're always closed on Mondays. I was craving…read moresushi and didn't want to wait until tomorrow. There are plenty of sushi spots around here, but none have really won me over... until tonight. I decided to try Faceless Samurai. I ordered the Chirashi -- a bowl of sushi rice topped with chef's choice sashimi. I was in heaven. The fish was incredibly fresh, each piece perfectly sized for a satisfying bite. The texture and flavor of the sushi rice were spot-on -- lightly seasoned and balanced, letting the fish shine. The service was excellent, but what stood out even more was the atmosphere. The place felt warm and joyful. People were laughing. A couple walked in and the chef/owner came out to shake hands and hug a regular. My server was kind and professional. It just felt good to eat there. They've officially gained a lifelong customer -- I usually eat sushi once a week when I'm not traveling. Go treat your taste buds. You won't be disappointed. P.S. I rarely give 5 stars. It's that good!

    1.5 stars. An…read moreextremely disappointing meal. I don't know where to begin. Let's talk about the fish first. Low quality lean grainy tuna was served. It wasn't cut properly, and was a rigid rectangle on a ball of improperly cooked rice. The salmon was mediocre tasting, but also unevenly sliced. The two pieces of escolar (chef's choice, my foot - cheap is more like it) were butchered like Tetris pieces. Why does it look like a croissant - for the love of Pete! The salmon maki wasn't properly rolled and was falling apart and the fish was cut improperly. The pork Katsu was okay. The other table was served frozen sashimi. What a poor performance. Service was poor. The wait time - an hour and fifteen minutes was appalling given the lack of quality and poor presentation. Thankfully, my 9 year old son and I entertained ourselves during that time, but they never brought him out his California roll. I cancelled it after we finished the bento box, but come on, what the heck, how do you not make a cali roll and not serve it to a hungry child immediately. I haven't left a 15% tip in quite some time, post pandemic, but this was beyond the pale. 1/2 star for the ambiance. It had me fooled. I don't like seeing businesses fail, but this one needs to be put out of its misery.

The hostess was really nice & we were initially told it would be about a 35 minute wait, in actuality we waited a little over 10 minutes before we were seated which was fantastic! The server & the chef were both great & we both really enjoyed our time. The server made sure we had everything we needed before the chef came out, & the chef was very entertaining during the whole experience. I got a beer & a glass of plum wine & my daughter got one of the boba drinks. The onion soup & the house salad tasted great, I also got the Tuna Tataki as an appetizer. The tuna was fresh & the seaweed salad underneath paired great with the sauce, definitely going to get that again. For our main courses I did the sirloin & teriyaki chicken, & my daughter did the sirloin & shrimp. Everything was cooked perfectly & the chef did not skimp on the portions, we had plenty leftover to bring home afterwards.
