Take-out Sake Salmon Sushi & Seared Salmon Sushi
Josiah N.

Great service as always. Usually we dine in but this time we got take out... Everything tasted the same. Best in the High Desert and it's not close. Would never recommended any other place. Gave us a few extra little salmon pieces too

We stopped by on a weekday afternoon. The sushi rolls tasted fresh and had great flavor, but they tended to fall apart as soon as we picked them up, which made eating them a bit annoying. The service was okay, though it took quite a while for the food to come out even though the place wasn't busy. We also felt a bit rushed when the bill was brought while we were still eating. Overall, it was a mixed experience - good flavors, but some issues with execution and timing.

We have been going to this restaurant for a while now. Food is good and prices are reasonable. Past experiences would have me give them a 4 star review. This last visit, food was great as always. Service was really slow. Our server disappeared for a few. Saw the Itamae picking up at dirty tables. Customers on both sides of our table were really ghetto. Left side, they were cursing and their kid dropped a plant pot. Behind us, they were cursing, drunk and loud. I get it, not the restaurant's fault, but it didn't help the mood I was in. Our server finally returned and offered to help every other table except ours. Finally had to call out for her to get some tea. She offered the free apple and peanut butter dessert, which we usually love. This time the apple still had the packing sticker. Server did not return to get our payment and I was tired of hearing the people behind me loudly talking about being dizzy and vomiting. I put our payment with a small tip under the check on the payment tray. I walked it over to the cash register and headed towards the exit. We were at the door when the server yells out in front of the whole restaurant, did we pay. She had the tray in her hand. Of course I told her to look under the check. She did and does say sorry, but the damage is done. The embarrassment can not be taken away with a weak apology.

This is the best sushi in the HD, period. The amount of passion and artistry is apparent in each bite. We've been coming here for close to a DECADE, and have enjoyed the consistency all throughout. 10 STARS

First time we got refused service for being too many people we asked to be seated different tables they still refused to serve us

I was visiting a friend who lives near Apple Valley and happened to stop by this sushi spot on the way home--and what a great find! The interior was super cozy and had a strong local vibe, like a place with lots of regulars. I thought we'd have to wait a while since it was a busy time, but the food came out surprisingly fas! Everything was fresh--from the sashimi to the variety of rolls and even the tempura. My favorites are Crispy Rice Spicy Tuna, yellowtail appetizer and crab tempura. The chef also recommended Echigo Koshihikari Beer, a light Japanese beer that was super easy to drink and paired really well with the meal. I'd definitely love to come back if I get the chance. A true local gem!

Shrimp Tempura
Sarai R.

I ordered takeout today to bring to work. I was totally blown away with the presentation of my dishes. The server was very kind and helpful. The wait was well worth it. The ambiance in the restaurant was tranquil I will definitely have to come dine in.

Mixed seafood salad

Absolutely love this place. Always so good and always so fresh! The only downside to this sushi spot is the pricing. It's very expensive! We are always greeted and treated well here.

Kani Tempura and Ninja roll

The food was delicious. The food artistry by the chef...chef's kiss . Chef sent a complimentary veggie tempura. I ordered the Kani Tempura 10/10....I also had the Ninja roll and Salmon Crunch roll, both 10/10. Each piece was plentiful . My server-Jennifer, was friendly and accommodating!

More photos included from previous visits. Tip: would NOT recommend their teriyaki bowls or similar bowls (even though I haven't tried any of the other bowls before). Their sushi rolls are SO yummy and filling for their price, so I think you'll be kind of wasting your money if you just get their rice bowls. Their udon is pretty yummy and their miso soup is fine, but I really think getting their sushi rolls is definitely the best bang for your buck.

Comp salad was delicious

Great food and great service. Definitely would recommend or family and friends dinner. Large selection of beers, soju and sake. Kids loved the food. Also family friendly. Food pictures speak for themselves. Delicious and fresh.

Kimberly J.

The spot is smaller than expected but spacious. The server was really friendly and gave us a complimentary salad. Everything was really good especially "the war" roll and the edamame. The miso soup wasn't as flavorful but it was still okay. They also have specials on rolls everyday. Def will be coming back.

The fried veggies were delicious

The only reason I only gave 4 stars was because it was extremely hot when we went to dine in…read moreThursday evening. It felt really stuffy and just wasn't comfortable. We got sat down pretty fast, then our server took our drink order and came back with the drinks right away. She proceeded to ask if we were ready but we had literally sat down so we told her no. We then wrote down or selections on their paper menu and she came to grab it. She then came back with our appetizers and our rolls not too long after. We didn't see her after that so my niece had to get up and ask the host for some trainers. Our drinks were running low since it was super hot in there and we were thirsty but we made it through The food on the other hand was delicious. We did the happy hour special. We ordered the heart attack and I loved how crunchy the jalapeños were. The baked mussels were also delicious! So full of flavor we had to order a second order. For my roll I did a 007 and I really enjoyed it. I honestly don't know if it's always that hot in there but if it is I'll probably just go back during to colder months. Delicious food though!

When we first arrived, it took a couple of minutes before anyone acknowledged us. There were…read morealready about two groups waiting to be seated, and the entrance area is pretty small, so we were all cramped together while waiting. Once we were seated, we ended up at a table where the ceiling was open and covered with a material that still allowed a lot of light through. Unfortunately, the sunlight was hitting me directly in the face for most of the time we were there, which made it pretty uncomfortable. We were given the happy hour menu and filled it out, but since no one was passing by, we eventually had to waive down the host to come pick it up. Now, as far as the food goes, I really can't complain about the taste. We ordered the Hawaiian Roll and the 911 Roll, and both were delicious. We also ordered spicy tuna hand rolls and they definitely were spicy but delicious. Unfortunately, we also ordered two other rolls that were never brought to our table. By the time our friends had finished eating, we were still waiting for those two rolls. Since no one came by to check on us, we eventually decided to get up and go to the register to pay and let them know that the two rolls had never arrived. When we explained what happened, it seemed like the host didn't initially take our word for it and went to confirm with the cook. There was some confusion, so I ended up having to walk over and explain which rolls we had received and which ones we hadn't. In the end, the host confirmed that the two rolls had never been made and removed them from our bill. However, there wasn't really an apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience, which was disappointing. Overall, the food here is good, but the customer service definitely needs improvement. It seemed like they were understaffed, and that really affected the experience. I would come back because I enjoyed the sushi, but I definitely expect better service next time.

Someone told us to check out Havanazucar; and I'm glad we did. We got there when they first openedEd at 11am so everything was friesh, hot and delicious.

It's a great spot whether you are riding solo or you are with your family. Will definitely be a staple spot when we are in the mood for Cuban food.

Pastrami sandwich with fries and an unsweetened iced tea First, the customer service at this small spot was great. Even though we ordered to go the cashier brought our drinks and food right to our table. Both sandwiches were top notch and muy delicioso. Cubano sandwich was filled with smoked grilled ham, Juicy roasted pork, cheese, pickles and pressed. It was served with the most amazing garlic aioli. I opted for the banana chips that were light and crispy and a perfect accompaniment to the sandwich. We also ordered a pastrami sandwich with fries. The fries were well seasoned and thin. Pastrami was so delicious however my only gripe is that it needed a touch more mustard. I shared some of my garlic aioli with my partner but hogged the rest for my other half of sandwich. Sandwiches were cooked to order, hot and fresh. The bread was soft with a slight crunch due to it being pressed. It was a very nice change from the usual burger or fried chicken fast food. We can't wait to go back !!
