Salmon capacious. The soy panzo  sauce worked well with the richness of rhe salmon. Fresh and buttery salmon slices.

Finally a sushi restaurant worth visiting. Food was good, flavorful, and fresh. From Poki bowls to sushi it was all good. Family and I had to try some apps which were delicious. Wife had a poki bowl special. And salmon Kama for mom and i. Wish my Salmon Kama was grilled rather than deep fried. Can't wait to try other dishes. Worth coming back too. Keep it up TRCA team

Really happy we found this place! We live in Merced and drove here just for the sushi and we'd do it again! We created our own poke bowl and ordered two rolls on the side. Everything was fresh and the fish seemed to be really high quality! Will definitely be returning.

Now Rainbow Roll cost $19.54 no wasabi, no ginger. And comes with a fork.

Ordered one roll for takeout. Went to pick up the item. One girl working. I walked in and she looked at me and walked to the back room. I waited. She came back and said sushi or bowl I said takeout. So the whole experience started out poorly. Received my roll and left. When I got home, I discovered that there was no ginger or wasabi with my $20 roll. They clearly states that it comes with these items. The roll is small. I won't return there's other places in town to go. With a rude employee and with missing ingredients just not worth it.

This brand new poke place just opened up in my area so I was very excited to take my parents for lunch. I will say it feels like they are still in the process of settling in because the walls aren't fully decorated or painted yet but the bathroom was nice and clean You order at the counter, I love that I can write down and build my own poke myself. It's easier that way and I see all the options. They are have a cool selection of drinks. Where it loses a star to me is pricing though. It's very expensive compared to similar restaurants in the area. There are a ton of people working so the food comes out fast. But there isn't much service. You just grab a table and wait. I liked my bowl, I think the ingredients were fresh and good quantity. Honestly too much to eat in one sitting but not enough for two meals. If it was a little cheaper I'd come back more often!

This place is a hidden gem!! Their sushi is very fresh and they have a good selection. Will definitely be back:)

The ingredients were really fresh ! I got the Medium salmon poke bowl and the cashier was very nice , he explained to me how to order since it was my first time there. I also found out they have 10% discounts for college students which can come in handy. I ordered mine to go but I can see the inside was very clean and in a chill area

Finally went to try this place. It's so close, I can walk over. My 2 kiddos and I built poke bowls and tried the smokey salmon roll. So fresh and delicious! It's just what we needed and look forward to when they open the second half of the restaurant! Tried the melon cream soda, mango cream soda and large strawberry ramune. Super friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.

It's become our favorite sushi spot in town! We usually stick to our go-to order: the Holy Cow and the "Taste Like My Ex-Boyfriend" roll (clever name!). We've met and talked with the owners several times, and they're always so genuine and proud of their work. You can really tell this place is family owned and operated, and the service is always great every time we come in. Would definitely recommend this place if you're new to town, wanting to get into sushi, or just looking for a new spot to try!

The sushi itself was decent, and the restaurant is a nice little spot with a cozy vibe. The staff were friendly when we talked to them. One thing that could improve is the attentiveness. Our rolls came out without ginger or wasabi, and we had to ask for it afterward. It would be nice if that just came automatically with the sushi. The server also didn't really check back to see if we needed anything else. I'm a little shy about asking for things, so I always appreciate when restaurants anticipate those small details. Overall, not a bad place, just a few small things that could make the experience better. I might come back and try some other items on the menu.

The interior has a nice, relaxed vibe with comfortable seating and a clean, inviting atmosphere. We started with the calamari and edamame. The calamari was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. The edamame was lightly salted and had a wonderful flavor that made it easy to snack on while we waited for our main courses. I had the Korean stone bowl and was very impressed. The beef was tender, flavorful, and slightly sweet, and everything was served piping hot in a beautifully presented bowl. My husband had the salmon bowl and thought it was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of flavors. Another friend tried the coconut shrimp curry and said it was delicious, with a rich and slightly sweet coconut sauce that paired well with the shrimp. Overall, we were very happy with the food and the experience. The restaurant felt clean and well-maintained, and the staff made sure our meal went smoothly. I would definitely come back if I am in the area.

You would never think that a town like Hughson would have a great sushi place like the Hughson…read moreAsian Kitchen! The restaurant is nestled in the cute downtown area of Hughson, their main street. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff and seated right away. We were there on a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, but the restaurant was packed with customers. The menu has an extensive selection of Chinese and Japanese dishes. I had the Bruce Li roll which had tempura shrimp topped with crab meat, salmon, tuna, spicy mayo and unagi sauce. I also 2 pieces of the Hamachi (yellowtail), miso soup, and spicy edamame. The fish was some of the freshest I've ever had - flavorful, definitely sushi grade, and I could tell that it also wasn't previously frozen due to the color and texture. The miso soup and the spicy edamame were well-seasoned and delicious. My nephew had a combination plate with orange chicken, broccoli beef, and chicken fried rice. One thing to note that was really nice is that the restaurant allows you to create your own combination plates, they're not set items with no substitutions. When our waitress brought my nephew's combo plate, the food looked freshly cooked and delicious! He ate every bite! If you're ever in Hughson, try the Hughson Asian Kitchen - the friendly staff and tasty food won't disappoint!

They have the BEST sweet and sour chicken i've ever had; never a bad piece and always the best flavor. You would be shocked to see sushi on the menu until you see the chef who is a master of his craft. I've tried most the rolls and am never disappointed in flavor, freshness or presentation. Easily placing the sushi here as good if not better than osaka. I put my pops onto this spot and i now can finally close our ever lasting debate of who has the best chow mein in the 209/Valley.

Sushi restaurant or a nightclub?…read more My friend and I decided to go for a night out Downtown. When we arrived at about 7:00pm, we were told there would be about an hour wait. Despite this long wait, there were actually quite a few empty tables, but was overall still very busy. When you put yourself on the waitlist, they notify you through text when your table is ready. This gave us ample time to walk around Downtown while we waited. When we received the table-ready text (just short of an hour later), we were sat quickly in a nice U-shaped booth. This seating arrangement felt a bit awkward for a party of two, especially if you are sharing food. The booth is too big to be sitting close enough to reach but too small to not feel awkward. It is perfect for people watching though since the booths face the entire restaurant. By this time, the restaurant was completely packed, with just about every booth, table, and barstool occupied. Our waiter came quickly to take our drink orders. We got a Cucumber Martini and an Espresso Martini. The Cucumber Martini was incredibly light and refreshing. The Espresso Martini was not impressive. It didn't have a strong espresso flavor and was rather watery, but still alright. This is the type of restaurant, that especially on busy nights like this where they don't accept reservations, you should allocate a lot of time for the dinner service for. There is a significant time gap between each time the waiter comes around to take your order. There was probably 15-20 minutes between placing our drink, appetizer, and meal orders. This was not a problem for us, but if you are eating here before making a show at the Gallo Center, this may be something to consider. For our appetizer, we ordered the Salmon Ceviche. It was insanely good. It was subtly spicy and citrusy. The chips that came with it were light and not oily at all. I wish the portion was larger because the two of us swallowed it up in just a few bites. For our entree, we got the Salmon Tataki and Goodi Rolls to split. They were both very good and came out on a lovely platter. They tasted very fresh and high quality. The prices here are on the higher side but is nice for a special occasion or splurge. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. He was super friendly too. The restaurant was super lively. They were playing club music which was totally a vibe. It looked like this was the spot people hit before going out for the night. I noticed they were accommodating for both small and large parties, serving both rather quickly. I'll be back!
