    Waterfall Roll
    Daniel C.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The fried veggies were delicious

    Birthday Celebration the location had enough parking space easy place to find parking. I was immediately seated the server was the great. The restaurant did have a lot of pictures of people or guest on the wall which was different. I order California roll, the roll came apart immediately which I have never came across eating at sushi restaurant. I was given a free appetizer fried shishito peppers which was the best of all the food we had. I would not be coming back unless you come back for the appetizers.

    Presentation & food were excellent. So happy we found a good sushi spot in the high desert. The chef also gives a complimentary salad and desert & both were delicious

    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.

    I had come with my family to enjoy lunch on a Saturday afternoon, but unfortunately the experience…read morewas not pleasant. The restaurant at the time was not very busy and we were seated quickly. Upon arriving I excused myself to use the restroom while my party started looking over the menu and considered ordering. Our expectation was to dine in for kbbq which is primarily advertised. When I had returned I was informed the waiter was somewhat unclear, rushing my family to order and seemingly appearing stressed. We had all wanted to clarify to be sure the order was correct and upon learning it wasn't we kindly asked to be switched over to the side we'd be able to grill our meat and enjoy the banchan side dishes. The waiter clearly became upset and ordered us to take our leave of the first dining section we were seated and switch to the grill section. As we followed we remained calm but confused as to why he was so irritated. The miscommunication stemmed from his lack of patience in explaining the menu to us as it was our first time dining there. He explained everything very quickly and that lead to the misunderstanding of having ordered a dish he had recommended but we weren't necessarily intending to order. Later having being sat down at the kbbq section he proceeded to grill the meat for us and deliver the side dishes, however he deliberately began to rudely toss the dishes which is where I drew the line and exchanged words with him expressing that was not necessary. We did not want him around after that fact. All in all to say the service was not amiable. When I also brought it up to the owners (I presume) it quickly became clear there would be no need to bring it to the waiters attention as he came over looking for confrontation in front of them and other patrons whilst I was voicing my concerns. Very disappointing. On the matter of food we enjoyed the freshness of the vegetable side dishes and the duck meat that was ordered. The acorn jelly was a nice touch as the owner explained how it was made to us. Nonetheless it was not worth going back for.

The duck BBQ and acorn jelly are so good I had to come back again with my family. The location is literally in the middle of nowhere. I asked the owner about the banchan and acorn jelly, and he told me everything is made in-house, which you can definitely taste. This time we ordered the duck BBQ (오리 구이), seasoned deodeok (양념 더덕 구이), and acorn jelly (도토리묵). The grilled duck with the deodeok was the perfect combination. You can taste the pure, natural flavors of the ingredients. Nothing artificial or overly processed. Usually after eating out, I'm chugging water all day because the food is too salty or MSG-heavy. Not here. The flavors reminded me of real Korean home cooking! The space is very spacious and comfortable, making it great for a relaxed meal. They're only open on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends, so I'd recommend calling ahead to double-check before going. The staff was friendly, and the owner even stopped by our table to ask how everything tasted. Generous portions and amazing food! Pairs perfectly with makgeolli. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth the stop.

We usually go to another local Thai restaurant, but decided to switch it up--and I'm really glad we did. The food here is fresh, flavorful, and made to order, exactly how Thai food should be. Nothing tastes rushed or pre-made. You can tell it's a true mom-and-pop Thai restaurant, especially when Mama San comes out and takes your order herself. That personal touch says a lot about the care that goes into the food. Everything we tried was delicious, portions were solid, and service was warm and welcoming. This has officially become my new go-to Thai spot when I'm in the area. Highly recommend if you're craving quality Thai food and want to support a local family-owned business.

It was Fried Rice, but here's the problem. It could have been more healthier, by not putting msg or not making it Fried Rice. Just steamed brown rice organic And and just making it a more healthier version, it was really expensive But it is filet Mignon. But it was still expensive. I wish they would make everything into a more healthier version because there's not a lot of healthy food up in the deserert when I'm up their Also, when I have MSG or when I have stuff that is not healthy. I swell up and my joints hurt. Especially with msg or soy sauce, but everything was super delicious. It's just, I wish it could be a healthier version.
