Wow! What a treat!…read more We've lived here for 4 years and have FINALLY found our sushi spot. My party of 3 ordered various rolls and they were all superb. Everything was fresh and delicious. It was a fairly busy Saturday afternoon but we were seated quickly. Space is a bit tight in the main dining area, but it's not a bother at all. Our service was superb. Ananya was incredible and very attentive to us. She answered all of our menu questions with ease and exuberance. We will for sure ask for her when we come back, which will no doubt be very soon.

They had a 3 roll special and it was so good we ended up ordering 3 more (definitely didn't need more...it was just so good). The Hibachi specials were a very portion for the price. We are big eaters and we were very full. The lady that served us provided friendly and attentive service. We will definitely be back! Can't even get fast food for this price anymore.

My little brother and I decided to give this one a shot…read more Food - The sushi was pretty good. The rolls were varied and tasty. They also had a rather substantial price that went with them. Service - We were the only ones in the place, and I guess they concentrated on more of the to-go orders because we sat for about 10 minutes before getting someone to take our order. It did come out quickly after the order had been taken. Ambiance - This place hasn't even been repainted since it was Maui Express. The place is haphazardly decorated and has just random stuff tossed on the walls. Seating is about what you would expect to find at a 1980's mall. So here is the crux. They have a good product. If you are getting this to go or having it delivered, then this is stellar. If you are eating at the location... then this is where the value breaks down. You are paying the same amount for a sushi roll here as you would be from any of the other restaurants in the area. But those restaurants have comfortable seating, a true ambiance, and servers. I guess I felt the value dip because I ate onsite. This place is still on my list for delivery though!

They do a good job of making sure that the sushi train is full of multiple different options. They also do a good job of placing items on the train at different locations around the bar.

A group of us dropped in, and honestly, the vibes started out strong. The hostess was actually…read morepleasant and the place looked clean--which, in this city, is usually a win. Then we sat down at the teppanyaki table, and things went south faster than a dropped egg. Our server was solid, but the "chef" was a total trainwreck. It felt like we were an inconvenience to his schedule. He just rushed through the motions with zero engagement, like he was checking off a grocery list instead of actually cooking for people. The "Highlights" (and I use that term loosely): The Timing: I ordered the steak and scallops. He finished my steak before the rice even hit the grill. My cow just sat there getting cold while we watched him "work." The Culinary Wisdom: When one of us asked if the beef was a strip or a ribeye, he literally just said, "It's steak." Cool. Glad we cleared that up. The Cross-Contamination Special: We had a vegetarian in the group. He proceeded to cook her tofu directly in the steak juice. Truly a "chef's kiss" moment if you hate your customers. The Doneness (or lack thereof): The salmon was basically still swimming (raw), and the scallops were charred and tasted like fire and brimstone. The Mussels: I grabbed a side of green mussels. They were... fine? I've had much better elsewhere in town, but they were the Olympic gold medalists of my meal by default. The Silver Lining? The Sake. It came in a take-home glass, was incredibly easy to drink, and was 100% necessary to get through the rest of the experience. I can't speak for the sushi, but if it's handled with the same "I don't want to be here" energy as the teppanyaki, I'd stay far, far away. Two stars only because the hostess was nice and the Sake did its job.

I love and adore the food here! My absolute best advice is to go for lunch, it is so much cheaper…read morebut you get the same delicious food. The soup and salad are on point and honestly, I could just DRINK the ginger dressing. I'm also pretty obsessed with the ginger sauce. The steak- what I always order- is cooked perfectly, so tender and juicy and goodness gracious I'm making myself hungry. Hibachi is always a fun experience, particularly with a crowd, but I've also been and just sat at the sushi bar and gotten the hibachi food. It's so lovely. I can't imagine a better place for hibachi- friendly staff, delicious food, calm atmosphere..... did I mention the food?

Pretty good lunch specials, which is why I ventured over here!…read more Once again, I feel like this is a decent spot for sushi. The only think I didn't particularly like was the spicy tuna roll. Some places now days are not using red tuna for these rolls and subbing it out for cheaper tuna. Bleh. Partner enjoyed the fried rice. Kind of hard to mess up. The both we sat was tucked away in an elevated area, and I did enjoy the privacy, until another table joined us in that area and it got very loud. I won't say it was the worst thing, but for the restaurant being empty... Server was fine, but overall experience was not special/super. Also, it seemed like the chefs were not willing to accommodate to allergies, but they came around when I told them we needed a separate plate for any shellfish.

First, the vibe is so intimate and cozy. Getting in without reservations is tough unless you go at an odd hour. And if they do let you in, don't test them on the your time limit. Be extra grateful and make it easy so they can seat the actual pre-reserved folks. The place is small enough and the service is nearly 2:1, so they'll definitely remember you. With that said, we tried it best to be on good behavior but that Sake flight had us feeling spicy! Which I'll speak to next, the sake flight delightfully surprised me, and gave me a few things I liked enough to order again. Did not expect that. But I shouldn't be surprised, they're obviously going to have something wildly well-curated, given the successful history of Anjin's creator. I know I'm supposed to talk about the food. But it almost feels pointless. It was obviously amazing. It's a small curated menu. They're famous for their sandwich, whatever rotation they're serving will be sure to please you. They didn't have a lot of vegan options on the menu so my friend got the cabbage dish and it was absolutely wonderful as well. That might be my only watch out if somebody is a vegan, check out the latest menu before going. With such a curated, small menu it may or may not be in a vegan's favor depending on the season. And if it's not, just drink more sake! Can't wait to return, especially with those visiting from out of town to give them an authentic, locally-owned experience.

First time here and it was all around, a great dining experience…read more Things to know: only bar seating-I came solo, so this wasn't a problem.
