    This menu has over 40 specialty roll options! I went in for a quick solo lunch and sat at the sushi counter. I placed my order and went to wash my hands. As soon as I walked back I had my meal and drink ready to eat, now that's service!!! My lunch meal was around $26, corn soup is complimentary. Since it was lunch time it wasn't too busy but the rear parking lot was. Ingredients was fresh and tasty. Staff was attentive and friendly and I loved the ambiance and decor. I highly recommend visiting and trying their extensive menu!

    Yummy sushi!

    First time here. Love the ambiance idk why all wood furnitures does it for me. Dim lighting's but not too dark where I cant see the menus or my food. (Hate eating in the dark) the servers/hostess was polite and attentive. Very accommodating. They gave a complementary corn soup which was actually pretty tasty. I ordered the baked muscles yummy of course and I got the 3 item bento which came with miso soup rice, and salad the 3 item I picked was sesame chicken, pork katsu cutlet and like a spicy mango cali roll. Theres was A LOT of food obviously I didnt finish but it was all so food. I'd definitely go back to try the other food for sure.

    Their chirashi bowl is packed with so many different types of fish. Well worth it. They have so many different roll options. Fish quality is very fresh. Service is great. Will be back

    Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna
    Tiarra J.

    Came in around 4:30 with my brother. The hostess was friendly and the decor was cute, with private little booths. They also have a buy one roll, get one fifty percent off deal that runs all day. That ended up being the best part of the visit. The complimentary edamame was pale and brown, which set the tone. The Crispy Rice appetizer and my green tea were fine. The rolls were the real issue. The Butterfly Roll had soggy tempura and very pale, mushy tuna. The Crunch Scallop Roll tasted like the scallops had been frozen, fried too hard, and cooked in old oil. Even the rice was mushy. When one roll opened up and I saw the texture inside, it threw me off so much that I lost my appetite and felt uneasy afterward, although I cannot tell if it was the food or just my reaction. The place was almost empty, but service was slow. Two different staff members asked how our meal was. When I told the first one it was not great, he just looked sad and walked away. When I shared my concerns with the waitress, she simply slid the check over without offering any solution. It made the check ins feel pointless. It was disappointing to pay for a meal that I could not enjoy. With the freshness issues and the lack of follow through, this spot just missed the mark for me. I would not return.

    Bento Box (Pork Cutlet & Yellowtail Roll)

    I placed a takeout order for the 2-item bento box for lunch, and it far exceeded my expectations. There is a wide range of items to choose from, but I decided to go with the Pork Cutlet and Yellowtail Roll. Not only were there large portions of both, but the meal also includes a side salad, rice, and miso soup. The Pork Cutlet was excellent! Juicy cuts, yet still crispy and tender from the fry. It remained this way even after my 15 minute commute back. I also enjoyed the yellowtail roll. A great option if you're looking for something different than the traditional california roll. There was a cozy atmosphere when I stopped in, and plenty of parking in the back. And best of all, this restaurant and staff are quick to answer the phones and provide great service - unlike the other major sushi restaurant in Downey that always seems to have a disconnected/busy line.

    Been a while since I've been here, but I'm glad that I came back. I had the Bento meal with three entrées and it was delicious. Take a look at my pictures and you'll see why. They were able to substitute my white rice for an extra salad. Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. The waiter and host were extremely nice and very attentive. Yummy yummy yu

    Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashimi

    Really enjoyed this spot! The food was fresh and delicious, especially the yellowtail jalapeño sashimi . Everyone was so kind and attentive, and the service was great from start to finish. The atmosphere was super chill with good music, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

    Spicy edemame

    This is such a lovely restaurant. The vibes in here are so calm and relaxing with the atmosphere and low lighting. Jenny and the girl in the front are so kind and helpful. They treated us with so much care and I felt very welcomed. The food is a 10/10 would recommend.

    See all
