Wednesday 30% off all rolls, totally worth it! The rolls were amazing, the crispy tuna rice was a big portion but also really good! Would definitely make this my new sushi spot

Great, small sushi restaurant in a fun part of town. I have a shellfish allergy. At first they messed up my order, but they were super nice about fixing it. Everything was great: bento box, oyster shooters, udon, and sushi. Literally something for everyone.

Nice little sushi spot with great service and good food! They have great happy hour specials almost everyday of the week and great deals in general. Everybody’s always nice and the food is always good!

This place is truly awful. There are 2 tables sat and it took them about 15 minutes take our food order. We asked if we could order an app and the guy told us to hold on like he was in the middle of something. We got edemame which was meh, miso soup which was delivered to the wrong table them delivered again cold, and two rolls which were about the food equivalent of one and both were terrible.

Affordable and decent sushi dishes in PB, especially if you go on a Tuesday for specials. Otherwise it’s simply a good location for beach goers and locals.

This place is seriously awesome. Went on a whim while running errands in the area, and they have awesome sushi specials on Mondays and Tuesdays! Lots of rolls for 50% off.

After being seated for Saturday night dinner was very disappointed they weren’t honoring their advertised specials. Noodle dish was good but sushi/rolls were average and very pricey for the modest portions. Enjoyed the Reggae soundtrack.
