    Tempura Cheesecake
    Saira D.

    Never disappoints. Everything I have ever tried has been delicious. The Tempura Cheesecake is incredible!

    Fresh and very tasty. Friendly staff, great food, nice presentations. Highly recommended!

    Have gone twice now the food quality, presentation, flavors are really delicious. Will definitely be going here more often.

    Las Vegas roll. Advertised as Salmon, cream cheese avocado, but it's primarily imitation crab.
    Justine R.

    My husband says 2 stars for the Ramen but I enjoyed my sushi for the most part. Let's start sushi. Im a salmon fiend, I ordered 2 salmon rolls. There was a good amount of salmon in them but an excessive amount of rice. I tore off about half the rice from each roll. I also ordered the "Las Vegas Roll" which is advertised as "salmon, avocado, cream cheese, deep fried" that's literally my favorite fried roll combo so that's what I went for...so I get home and it's IMITATION CRAB with a small piece of salmon, sliver of avocado, and sliver of cream cheese. The roll was mostly imitation crab, which wasn't even listed as part of the roll. I try to avoid rolls with imitation crab so that was disappointing...but, it was deep fried so it still tasted good. Just not what I wanted or what I thought I ordered. Ramen. I told my husband the ramen isn't going to be amazing as it's not a legit ramen spot, but it had better reviews than the fried rice which was his second choice. He said it was a little better than top ramen, but we ordered beef with egg. There was very little beef and we were expecting a boiled egg as that is a traditional item we've received with ramen...but they put scrambled eggs in the ramen. We had a good laugh about that....I wish I took a picture lol. So yeah, the quality of the fish was on point. Very good. If you're going for straight up sushi, go for it. I'll probably try some of the no rice rolls in the future and just double check ingredients in the rolls in the future.

    Nigiri tuna and salmon. Mmmmm Salmon...

    This is such a good spot that I visit any time I'm on a trip to the area. Pros: -Expansive menu with a lot of different types of dishes -Reasonable prices for rolls and main courses -Super friendly staff -Always fresh Cons: -Can get a little expensive if you go for Nigiri, but the quality is great

    Went here for the first time and had a great experience. The quality of the sushi and artistic touch was phenomenal. Mark is a very talented chef who pays close attention to detail. We had great service as well. I'm so happy we discovered this little hidden gem!

    The food was amazing, good for a family. The Korean sashimi rice was really good. Thumbs up!!

    Torch seared yellowtail belly
    Drive R.

    The sushi here is the best in town in terms of quality of fish and preparation for sure. Mark is a great sushi chef! I have the other things here like the fried rice, yakisoba, hot stone bowls. They're ok, but if you come here come for the sushi! I asked Mark to torch my nigiri and it made it so flavorful

    Pretty decent sushi in Lompoc! Friendly staff and the sushi tastes fresh. My favorite is the inari, tamago, and creamy hamachi roll!

But the atmosphere and decor inside is so great. The food is really fresh. I'm very picky about sushi. As everyone should be! The fish is melt in your mouth delicious. Both times we've been there. We were served by the greatest waitress. I do wanna say each person on their staff that we talk to was very friendly and helpful! Our server though was the best! We caught her name this time.... Next time you're in there ask for Rachael! Tell her Alia Rachael sent you... she'll get a real kick out of it. I drive up on the weekends from Los Angeles to visit my boyfriend. Lompoc is a hard place to find quality food. And most of the inside of the restaurants here look like people have temporarily moved in. There's some breakout places that have outstanding food.... But we've had some weird service. It's rarely both in one place. We will be back too have sushi here often. I also come from a background in the restaurant/bar/management industry. It's really refreshing to be served by people who are genuine and you can tell sincerely like being in the food industry. Trying to find pictures from the last time we there so I can edit this post.... But in the meantime, didn't wanna miss the opportunity to Push people to go try this if you haven't. PS we were in there fairly late on a rainy Saturday night. I imagine they had more business earlier but when we were there, it was getting close to closing time not a lot of people and we still had top-tier service.... And beautifully presented and prepared food.

    We were passing the area when we decided we needed some lunch. I found this place on yelp and…read moredecided to give it a try. It was an open layout that had plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The decor was moder, but not overdone. We were greeting and pointed to a table but that was it. We realized there was a QR code on the table and we could order our food on there. It took a little while to get our food even though no one else was there. I found it really odd to not even be told to use the QR code to order or be informed of anything. Stewed beef noodles with Ramen- 9/10 My husband ordered this and I tried some. The broth was delicious. Rich and flavorful but not overbearing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. The bok choy was a needed touch. My husband ate the whole bowl and wanted a second because was so good. Certified Angus Beef hot pot- 8/10 I ordered this with the tom yum broth. I didn't know it was a creamy version of the broth until it was served. I'm not mad about it but it wasn't in the description in case others are dairy sensitive. The broth was flavorful and really delicious. I will say that the beef was tough and it a typical cut that overcooked very quickly in the broth. I'm not positive it was Angus beef grade. I just now realized it was missing the lotus root but gave me zucchini instead. I was also missing my quail eggs. If I didn't read the description to know I was supposed to have them, I would've missed that too. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was 1 star for sure. We were never checked on and the waiter only appeared if we pushed the call button. If you can overlook the lack of customer service, the food is really delicious.

It was incredibly easy to order food using their QR code menu on the table and the servers were very attentive if someone needed a refill on water or if we needed extra utensils! I'm looking forward to the rainy season when I can really leverage their Hong Kong-style hot pot!
