I came here for lunch with my coworkers and we shared a tasting box plus a few rolls on the side…read more I don't eat cucumber, so I specifically asked for no cucumber in our order and was told it could be swapped with avocado, which I really appreciated. We were also informed it would take about 20 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 40-45 minutes due to the lunchtime rush. Totally understandable though, and the manager was very apologetic and even gave us a $5 coupon for our next visit along with our box. When the food arrived, the presentation of the tasting box was absolutely WOW.. it was so beautifully done. We were honestly just too hungry at that point to admire it for long. Unfortunately, I noticed the first roll I picked still had cucumber in it, and when we flagged it, the staff immediately looked into it. It turned out there was a miscommunication about the substitution, and most of the rolls in the box had cucumber. The manager personally came over, apologized, explained everything, and immediately took care of it by offering to remake the box without cucumber and providing a full refund, which really went above and beyond. Despite the hiccup, the service and care from the team really stood out. Mistakes happen, especially during busy lunch hours, but the way the team responded made a big difference. I'd definitely come back again.

I ordered the dream platter and aburi Syaki oshi. I wasn't expecting it to be nicely packaged and it was a damn shame we threw them out but I almost felt like I paid for the extra nice packaging only to have it be tossed... but it does make an excellent gift for someone who really loves sushi! I wasn't expecting the gold leaf OR edible flower garnish at all. It was a very cute touch on this very snowy day. The oshi sort of fell apart everytime I picked it up which was a shame because it was nicely charred and sweet from the mango. Bit of a personal peeve but I don't think sushi should fall apart when you pick it up with a chopstick. I think it should stay in tact. Next time I'm gonna order takeout and have it delivered so I can feel like I had a nice package of sushi delivered

I think I have a new favourite Japanese restaurant. The decor is classy, the service is great, and…read morethe food is of excellent quality. The fish quality is obviously really good, and each slice had that subtle sweetness that only really fresh produce have. We shared two set meals, which gave us the perfect opportunity to try the macki, sushi, and sashimi. The quality is consistent across-the-board. I also really enjoyed the hot tea even though it was an extra charge. I will definitely be back.

The sushi and sashimi was very fresh and had generous portions. Tempura batter was light and crispy. The only complain was the shrimp in shrimp tempura was a but mushy. The takoyaki was a great appetizer to share. Ordered a sushi boat to share for dinner on a seperate occasion and the sushi was fresh. I would recommend to try this place if your in the area. Be sure to call to check if there's tables available before arriving or if they are opened. I had attempted to come on another day but could not get a hold to confirm whether they were opened or not so definitely call to double check.

Our opening order ended up being 64 pieces of various sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki, and rolls as well as miso soup and green tea. Our follow up, was 14 more pieces of sashimi, because it was fresh and tasty! Both rounds came very quickly. Service was good. We finished off with green tea ice cream and mango pudding. Not quite the epic meal but close enough! Total for two $85 tip included. I recommend this restaurant and will return again soon.

I've worked in the same building for over 25 years and finally we get a half decent sushi place in…read morethe area. Not bad. I'm glad it's just a few minutes' walk away from the office. The owners of the place are Korean and are very decent. As of the moment, take-out is only offered due to COVID-19. And if you pay by cash, it's 20% off. I had the combo for the 'salmon lover' and the meat gyoza from the appetizer list of options. The combo included miso soup and a mini salad. With everything combined, it was under $20 and I was very fulfilled afterwards. Pretty decent for a tiny place smack in the middle of Concord. I'll be back for more, if I don't bring a lunch or I forget it. And I'll recommend SUSHI LOLO to anyone else in the region. Support your local businesses everyone!

3.5/5 Came here…read morewith my family to celebrate my sister's birthday and we were excited to try their different offerings: both Japanese and Thai food! We felt that the Thai food was a-okay, I actually found that the pad thai and mango salad were tasty but it did not seem authentic based on the appearance, taste and ingredients they used. We liked the sushi rolls and sashimi! They were good and the sashimi tasted pretty decent. The other appetizers like the sweet and sour chicken tasted quite stale and the breading was more chewy than crunchy. Would we come back? Probably not. But we did leave with full bellies and a good time.

Atrocious customer service. The fact that we went for lunch and the restaurant was empty says…read moreeverything. Only 2 other tables seated. I wasn't hungry and only wanted to order pineapple rice, but my other 2 guests wanted all you can eat. The restaurant said I was forced to order that as well if they were having it. I did not want to pay 30 dollars when I only wanted rice. I somewhat understand they might be doing this to prevent food sharing, however, I offered to sit by myself. Having said this, the place was bare and it would have been extremely obvious if we were trying to scam (although that assumption itself is an incredible insult). At the end of the day, they lost our business today, and permanently. We walked out, they lost 2 all-you-can-eat customers and a 3rd independent order based on their unwillingness to be reasonable. Many better restaurants directly around this one, so it was an easy decision to leave. On that note, I have been to many restaurants that offer all-you-can-eat in addition to a la carte and have never ever been forced to eat one over the other based on the people I attend with and their choices. These places were all higher class though and not struggling for business. If this place had any business sense, they would also recognize people pay a lot more for a la carte.

Ikigai Sushi is a small, cozy eatery that quietly delivers some seriously high-quality Japanese…read morefood. The moment you walk in, one detail that stood out to me was the Mahayana Buddhist altar blessing the owner and visitors with health and prosperity. As a Taiwanese person, that instantly felt relatable and oddly comforting--like being welcomed into someone's home. Although the restaurant is Vietnamese-owned, the Japanese food here is absolutely top-notch. I've visited three times so far, and the quality of their bento boxes has been impressively consistent every single time. My personal favorite is the chicken katsu bento. The chicken is incredibly fresh and flavorful. Unlike many places where chicken katsu can end up greasy or heavy, Ikigai's version is perfectly crispy and airy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. Paired with their tangy, addictive katsu sauce, every bite just makes you want the next one immediately. I'm also a big fan of their maki rolls and tempura. You can genuinely taste the care and quality in the food--even the side salad and miso soup feel thoughtfully prepared. Considering the quality, the prices are very reasonable, and the portions are generous. The bento box is around $20 if you pay cash, which feels like a great deal. The space itself is cozy, spotless, and welcoming, and the service has always been excellent. I genuinely love this place and will definitely keep coming back.
