    Very clean restaurant and has a lot of seating to choose from with a lot of parking as well outside the place too so that's convenient. 3/5 cause the boba was not great and the flavoring was all off, definitely won't be buying it again here and it's just pretty watery and not great overall tbh, the boba was not too great either just tasted like it was pre-bought or something. Our sushi was good though and the prices were fair, wasn't the most amazing sushi restaurant we've been to, and have had a lot better hence the 3/5 as well. Customer service was pretty good though but just was more slow to get to us despite only us and another couple being in here. Would come back if all other sushi places were closed or just really really craving something sushi.

    Came here with my family on a Tuesday night - we were the only people in the restaurant! Between my family we ordered probably 7 rolls. It's kind of neat, they give you a dry erase marker and a menu that you check off what items off you'd like to order and then hand that to the waitress. Kind of impersonal, but I did kind of like it. The sushi was good! They ran out of tuna, so we couldn't get anything with tuna in it. But overall, the rolls were good and decently priced. They also had a kids menu with chicken wings & other things for the kids to have if they don't like sushi.

    Really enjoyed the food here. The fries were super tasty, Bento box had a good variety of food. Chicken tempura was tasty and super crunchy. Vegetables were a bit over cooked. Service was excellent. Overall a good experience and glad we stopped in.

    Just ordered 3 rolls from this place and the woman didn't get order correctly. I specially ordered 2 fried rolls with cream cheese avocado and salmon and she just said yeah yeah ok and gave me 2 fried rolls with just cucumber and avocado. Due to the COVID 19 it's only take out so i call her to tell her that she got the order wrong and she basically just disagreed with me telling me if I want to buy another roll I can instead of switching the rolls that she got wrong in the first place. Never buying here again worst experience ever!!!!!!

Delivery sushi might have a weird reputation. I mean, you think of beautifully presented fresh fish on fancy plates. Well sometimes that's just unrealistic. Mika Sushi has great Yelp reviews and they're not far from our house. We ordered them on DoorDash and we were stuffed after dinner! When I say stuffed...these were some of the LARGEST sushi rolls I've ever had. Normally I can house two specialty rolls, and these were LOADED to the brim. My mouth was barely wide enough to down these GIANT rolls in one bite (keep it PG). Mexican Roll ($16.95) // spicy yellowtail, cucumber, salmon and jalapeño. A little heavy handed on the sauce. Spicy, savory, tasty. Godzilla Roll ($17.95) // spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, avocado, tuna, seared salmon, special sauce. Loaded with flavor, well balanced, filling. Rock Shrimp ($10.95) // fried shrimp with creamy sauce. Their take on bang bang shrimp. These were good, but would've been even better fresh out the fryer at the restaurant. Simple, easy, can't go wrong. I have to reiterate that these were maybe the BIGGEST sushi rolls ever. I don't know if it translates in the photos. Normally a sushi roll is sliced into 8 pieces; these could've been 10 or 12 pieces! I am full just thinking about this meal! Will have to check out the actual restaurant one of these days. Thanks for filling our bellies on a cold winter night.

    Honey, before I begin this culinary TED Talk, let me explain why this glamazon even sashayed…read morethrough the door. I kept hearing whispers. Rave reviews. Local legends. So naturally I showed up to investigate with my appetite, my unrealistic and dramatic standards, and the emotional support personality of someone who writes sonnets about raw fish. I'm not here for dinner. I'm here for an experience. Possibly emotional closure. I adore sushi. Which means my expectations, even in a landlocked state, are higher than my credit card balance. The restaurant itself? Oh, she's that mysterious queen tucked into a strip mall like she's avoiding her ex. Tiny. Moody. Dimly lit. The kind of place you almost don't want to review because selfishly, you NEED your favorite table available. Reservations, darling. Don't test fate. This hidden gem has officially been outed. When the sushi arrives, it arrives it not on some precious little plate. On a giant wooden cutting board fit for a king, or queen (wink). Sharing is caring. Unless you touch my last piece. Then all bets are off sweetie. The service? Fabulous. My waiter, (only went by S on the receipt...odd) mastered the ancient art of appearing exactly when needed and vanishing before becoming part of the conversation. Attentive without hovering. Give that man an Emmy. I ordered the Red Dragon Roll:Salmon, yellowtail, and avocado tucked inside...then crowned with tuna, jalapeño, and sriracha. Now let's discuss Miss Thing. The slices were thick. THICK. Like that gorgeous hottie you deny eyeing. Decadent. Chewy. Gorgeous. My only complaint? Girl, my mouth did not sign the consent form. I tried to be elegant. One dainty bite. Then the entire roll exploded like it had unresolved family issues. Halfway through I abandoned etiquette and accepted that looking cute was no longer on today's agenda. The salmon? Baby, If salmon tastes like it has unresolved trauma from three Tuesdays ago, I'm calling the authorities. THIS salmon? Fresh enough to still have opinions. It practically looked at me and said,Girrrrrrll, did you see what that tuna was wearing? That's exactly the level of freshness I want. Now, the rice. Rice is the structural engineering of the sushi. It should faithfully escort my sushi all the way to my mouth before gracefully retiring from public service. Mine only fell apart because those glorious salmon slabs required a jaw unhinge worthy of a python. So today, the rice has been pardoned. Knife work? Every slice looked intentional. Like someone whispered apologies to the blade before making each cut. Were a few pieces larger than others? Maybe. But honestly, the only thing smaller than my patience is my mouth. (Side eye) How do I feel about Wasabi? Please don't flirt with me. Attack me. I want enough wasabi to make me briefly question every life decision that led me into this restaurant. I want polite volcano energy. Like finding a lit firecracker in your sock drawer while someone calmly says, Enjoy! Presentation? Listen...Everyone online wants tiny edible flowers with tragic backstories and microgreens raised by monks. This restaurant said, no. Here's your beautiful sushi. On a massive communal cutting board. Figure it out. Honestly? Kind of iconic. The sauces also deserve applause. Nothing was drowning beneath an avalanche of spicy mayo and eel sauce. Because once every roll tastes like sauce... Congratulations. You've invented sushi-flavored ranch. Creativity is wonderful. Restraint is sexier. How was the cleanliness? EXCUSE ME. This place was immaculate. I'm convinced tiny sushi ninjas silently materialize every few minutes to eliminate fingerprints before they even happen. Not one sticky soy sauce bottle. Not one questionable table. Not one crumb living rent free. Ten out of ten. No notes. And the sushi chefs Calm.Focused. Mysterious. Absolutely looked like they've silently judged forty thousand chopstick techniques and still wake up disappointed in humanity. Next visit I'm ordering the nigiri. If the chef hands it to me with one solemn nod like they're entrusting me with ancient forbidden knowledge, I'm legally obligated to cry. Finally... The bill. Expensive sushi? Perfectly acceptable. This place actually felt refreshingly reasonable. Because my personal rule remains undefeated: If six pieces of salmon cost the same as my monthly car payment... That salmon better know my name, my zodiac sign, and ask how my mother is doing. Final Verdict: Hidden gem? Absolutely. Fantastic fish.Great service. Immaculate restaurant. Generous portions.Zero gimmicks. Just excellent sushi quietly minding its own business. Five fish flips out of five. Now excuse me while I make another reservation before the rest of y'all ruin my favorite table.

They do charge a bit more than your typical AYCE sushi spot, but the quality absolutely justifies it. The rolls are beautifully balanced -- fish, avocado, rice, everything in harmony -- and I was impressed that hardly any of them relied on imitation crab as filler, which is something I see far too often elsewhere. The sashimi and nigiri selection is excellent as well, and personally, I gravitated toward the sashimi to avoid the carb overload that comes with nigiri. I was also pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. The restaurant is spacious, and our server was incredibly attentive. She walked us through the process and the rules, making the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. The rolls themselves were fantastic -- thoughtfully crafted and delicious. I especially enjoyed the Naruto roll, wrapped in cucumber instead of rice, which was a refreshing change. We ordered about five rolls, including the Naruto roll, plus crab wontons, sashimi, and dessert, and I can confidently say we got our money's worth. I highly recommend this place.
