    Firecracker
    Taylor M.

    Second time eating here, very pleased! This time I got a miso soup and firecracker roll which was awesome! My waitress was very attentive. The restaurant is clean and has a relaxed vibe. Good choice for lunch or dinner if stopping in Westminster.

    Okay I'm not one to write reviews but this was actually just not good. The avocado felt like mush and everything tasted like it was thawed from frozen. Idk the place was mid.

    Specialty roll, falling apart after trying to pick it up.  Mango Mamma Roll Mango Mamma Roll

    Good food, great location. I just remembered that every roll i ate fell apart bc it wasn't sealed well.

    Veggie Tempura

    Happy hour. The good: super fast! My specialty cocktail was delicious and half price. The bad: I ordered a fish roll and it literally came out in one minute so I know it was pre-rolled and tasted at least a day old. The tempura was lightly battered and yet still greasy. The cucumber salad was one note vinegar. The server was quick and courteous. Happy hours are supposed to sell you on the food so you come back for dinner and I won't be doing that.

He ordered several sushi rolls and nigiri (including tuna and salmon items). By the middle of the night he was experiencing intense stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, and dizziness. We ended up in the ER this morning because he was so dehydrated and weak. The doctor confirmed it was consistent with bacterial food poisoning, likely from improperly handled raw fish or cross-contamination. This is not something to take lightly. Food poisoning from sushi can be dangerous, especially for anyone with a compromised immune system, pregnant, elderly, or young children. If you value your health, I strongly recommend avoiding this place until they clean up their food safety practices. We will never return and are considering reporting this to the local health department. Please, learn from our mistake and steer clear. There are plenty of other sushi restaurants with better hygiene standards. Your family's health is not worth the risk.

We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening to full restaurant which was a great sign. You also want to see your sushi bar moving a lot of product so you know their seafood will be fresh. Lucky for us there were two seats at the bar open so we were seated right away. We started off the meal with of course some Sapporo and premium sake along with a tempura app. I've not found great tempura in the area and was pleasantly surprised with their preparation. We then ordered a Chirashi bowl (wife) and assorted nigiri for myself. The chirashi was okay, decent but not anything amazing. Some of the fish cuts were a little odd like they were the trimmings from the end of the filet. My nigiri was solid and I appreciate the fish to rice ratio was perfect as lot of other places make their sushi with way too much rice to stretch the dish. The amaebi or sweet shrimp was fresh and heads were nicely fried and tasty though I wish they fried it a minute longer. Overall a solid sushi bar tucked away from the main road but definitely worth a visit!

Normally I get sashimi and nigiri , but it was around 8 dollars for 2 pieces here it wasn't in budget ! So we tried other pieces with more items in it , so rolls!! We really loved the ceviche roll! It was so fresh it didn't taste like ceviche at all but it was 10/10. (Cost $20, 8 pieces)You can taste the fish sauce , lime flavor it's super fresh!! The other rolls were good too but I say anywhere 6-7/10 ($8-16)nothing too crazy. The service was really good ! Super fast very friendly she offered us free dessert. 10/10 It's a nice small place typical sushi spot. We ordered yuzu saketini it was yummy you can definitely taste the yuzu!! It's light with a strong kick!! I'd definitely come back for the ceviche roll on its own. Ugh so good

The service and atmosphere felt comparable to a visit I had at one of their NYC locations. I was specifically there for the A5 Wagyu Kalbi Short Rib slices. At $59, this is likely best shared and supplemented with other cuts. Since it was a special occasion, I ordered one plate, then decided on a second since I was still hungry. There was a noticeable delay, and when it arrived, I was told it is usually limited to one per party, but they made an exception that night. I appreciated that, though I probably would have been fine stopping after the first plate. I paired it with rice and salt-seasoned edamame. I was slightly disappointed that my birthday was not acknowledged despite noting it in my online reservation, especially since another table received a birthday song. Overall, still a good meal and a fun splurge.
