I ordered dinner from here through DoorDash last night and tried to leave a review on DoorDash, but they don’t seem to be putting it up. This was the worst sushi I’ve ever had and I got really sick ( violent stomach aches and vomiting). The sushi rolls, seaweed salad, nigiri and hand roll looked and smelled like old fish and like it had been sitting out for awhile (I should have been suspicious that it was delivered within 15 minutes after ordering on a Saturday evening). It all just seemed like very poor quality and not fresh, NOT what you want when ordering sushi especially. Even the shrimp nigiri was horrible and a rip off- they literally sliced the very top of the shrimp and placed on a bed of old smelling rice (see pic). The seaweed salad looked and tasted like it was from out of a can and was like soup with all the syrup-like sauce on it. The snow dragon roll just tasted like fake crab and mayonnaise. And the tuna hand roll was just as bad. Just for reference I do not have any food allergies and I am a regular sushi eater. I was excited to try this place out after reading some good reviews and it being my first sushi in California and man was I disappointed and sick. Save yourself the risk please and order elsewhere! I’m a nurse and just wanted to warn others.

Came here for my girlfriend’s company dinner. We were seated in a private area. The service was excellent, sake was plentiful and the food never stopped coming. The finale was a whole fish sashimi that was both beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! Given the excellent quality of the food with the large party, I have no doubt their food will be great for a small party. I will definitely be coming back in the future to try their other dishes!

Absolutely loved it! They have great outdoor dining and delicious California rolls. Also, if it’s your birthday they provide you with a small mango ice cream or other dessert for free! They are quite crowded but safer than other restaurants in San Carlos as they are farther away from the main strip.

Don’t go there for ramens. This is the most basic ramen I’ve ever had at a restaurant. For some reason, they added broccoli as the only vegetable. The soup itself was very basic.
