    Philly roll
    Thomas K.

    Nice little restaurant in La Canada. Portions are decent. Price is good. Taste is good. Overall a good value. A solid 4 and I would recommend to others

    8 pc sushi and 1 hand roll
    Jennifer K.

    I ordered the 8 pc sushi with 1 roll and everything was good considering I got it takeout. I would order it again for a quick and convenient bite!

    Came here for lunch with the family. Everything was delicious, the food came to our table incredibly quickly, and the staff were very welcoming. This is definitely a new regular spot for me!

    24 Piece Sushi with 3 Roll
    Stephanie L.

    Placed an online order for the 24 pc sushi and 3 rolls combo when I had a craving for sushi. Got a notification in 20 minutes that my order was ready to be picked up. The sushi platter also comes with 3 miso soups and 3 salads. The platter comes with 3 pieces of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, albacore, snapper, scallop, shrimp, and eel. My faves were the albacore with a dollop of grated ginger and the snapper with a little fresh wasabi and a squeeze of lemon. I'm not a fan of salmon so I wish there was an option to swap rolls but the spicy tuna roll was also very good. Usually spicy tuna rolls are made when tuna goes bad so you mask it by mixing with mayo and sriracha. However, there was hardly that sauce cover up, which I really liked. Next time I'll be back to try the eel and avocado rolls and they even have sea urchin sushi a la carte!!!

    If you like great sushi, you'll be disappointed here. But if you're not picky and need a quick stop, like people who eat prepackaged sushi from the market, you'll be happy here.

    Came here on an impromptu try. We figured it might be similar to the restaurant of the Same name sake. I would have to say it is a pretty run of the mill Japanese restaurant with a very simplified menu. Prices are pretty average and comparable to ones in the areas. The sushi combo weren't really combos it's just stacked combos. The staff was friendly. The atmosphere was very reminiscent of a pizza place for some reason but overall was clean and sizable, very express overall all, the food was ok. The sushi was average, what caught me off guard was the "bluefin special" didn't taste buttery or supple like blue fin. Looked really similar to regular tuna with some added knife marks to differentiate it from their regular tuna. I think it's ok if you want to try but I don't thjnk it stands out from the rest especially from my "bluefin" premium experience.

    I stopped here to pick up my phone order - a spicy tuna cut roll. It was done pretty quickly, they have parking right out front in that crazy parking lot. Service was good, 8 pieces per order.

    Ambiance: spartan but acceptable for a place that's got 'express' in its name Service: got takeout; told that order wouldn't be ready for 50 mins; got there on time and had to wait 15 more mins; not good for a place that's got 'express' in its name Food: very good for takeout; comparable to Sugarfish

    We got the spicy tuna roll, karaage bento box and udon. All were delicious. Got the udon flavor I was seeking. Spicy tuna was fresh.

I know it's a franchise, but I've had other ramen franchises just fine, but it might just be the broth and flavor profile for me. I like that this location is much bigger than the others and is a bit nicer as a result and even during the dinner rush there really wasn't a wait and our food came out decently quickly. Service was friendly and fast too. Ambiance is fancier than the other locations with the dark wood and the dimmer fancy lighting. With every visit, I try to get my ramen super spicy since a lot of, not only ramen places, but Japanese restaurants, spicy means not bland (no offense). And this is the same. I got the super spicy and it just tasted like slightly chili flavored ramen. Imagine someone did cook something spicy in the bowl of ramen and then rinsed the bowl quickly twice. I got the tonkotsu ramen with chashu (2 pieces), seasoned egg, green onions, corn and no bean sprout. Pretty oily and a bit salty and again, not a hint of spiciness. Noodles had a nice chew to it at least. Just alright if anything.

I've been going here for years and found they have perfect balance of depth of flavor and consistency of it. Amazing food + Attentive service + jazz playing overhead = Great time and chill vibes.

Teriyaki chicken wings ($9): Juicy, crispy with a deep sweet-salty soy flavor. Honestly the best chicken wings I've ever had.

The space itself looked lively, active, and welcoming, which made me want to come back and actually sit down and dine in next time.

The interior has a modern aesthetic and even on a Wednesday evening, it was packed with a wait. We didn't have to wait too long, but as we ate and had dinner I noticed that it was full consistently. We sat down and they have have a wide array of items on their menu. We went with 3 dinner specials which have a small options (one has tempura, another with a California Roll. and one with Both) safe to we ordered one of each. For Apps we got some Edamame and Kaarage. For Rolls, we went with Rainbow Roll and Catapillar Roll. Starting with apps, the edamame to me was good a touch less salt which was great for my father. The karaage was flavorful with that sesame taste and juicy interiror. To me it was rather small compared to what I am used to, but flavor wise on par. The Rainbow roll is a staple anywhere I go for the first time as that gives me the array of fish with a California roll. The fish was fresh tasting and to me was fine. My slight disappointment was with the Caterpillar Roll, my parents just returned from Japan and the first thing they compared the roll to was what they experienced over there. Not a fair comparison, but none the less I am posting it here as refence as I see the same in surrounding restuarants here. The dinner special comes with Miso Soup, Salad, Protein of choice, and a choice of side (tempura, California Roll, or both). We each got one of the combinations. The Chicken Teriyaki was juicy and good compared to what I normally get from similar restaurants. Overall, a good choice if your simply looking for something balanced. What won me over, was the service. The place was packed and the staff and manager were out there doing what they can, but I didn't hear a single complaint around the restaurant. Not about the wait times, nor the food, and that matters. A small interaction that I happened to pick up, was one of the staff helping an elderly gentleman put on his coat. A small gesture but to me means the world. If they can take a second to do that for him, they really care about your experience. As a local favorite, I can highly recommend this place not just that the food is good, but because service tipped my scale. Mind the place was packed and smiles all around from everyone. I will be back if I am around, I am so glad I was able to finally check this one off my list!

I had the filet and chicken combination, with chicken liver as my appetizer. Overall, everything was good. The chicken breast was slightly overcooked and a bit tough, but I would much rather have well-done chicken than risk it being undercooked. The chicken liver was surprisingly good, especially considering it was only my second time ever having it. The dinner presentation was nice, as always. A bit cheesy, but entertaining. Service was somewhat lacking. I asked for water twice and never received it, and eventually had to flag down a server from another table. We also requested to-go containers and never received those either. I will mention something that did not affect my rating, since I understand this is simply how the restaurant operates. If your party is not large enough to fill a station, you will share a table with another group. As I mentioned, the family seated with us had two small children, one of whom cried for most of the meal. As anyone knows, the sound of a crying child can be quite piercing and obnoxious, so it is just something to keep in mind. All in all, it was still a fun experience, and we will definitely be back.
