Haven’t been here in 15-20 years due to moved out of area. Moved back and thought I would visit an old reliable sushi restaurant. First off, seating for maybe 8 people. Still looks like an old Covid restricted zone. Tables and chairs stacked up. 2 seats at sushi bar. 2 small tables….that’s it. Waitress wearing mask?? Really?? In July 2023 still wearing mask?? Don’t be open…. Food was dreadful. 1 roll and 6 pieces of nigiri sushi. Fish was tired and probably very close to inedible. The rice was the worst I’ve ever had at any Japanese restaurant. The rice is the key to good sushi, assuming almost expired fish doesn’t make you I’ll…. STAY AWAY!!! Worst sushi experience in my life…. Grocery store premade sushi would’ve been better; and that’s not saying much

Great cozy little neighborhood sushi restaurant serving up classic Japanese fare and fresh sushi. Went for dinner and ordered miso soup, spicy edamame, and the “Tie-Die” roll. The soup was well balanced and flavorful, the edamame was too mild to be called “spicy” and a bit over streamed, but the sushi roll was outstanding. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to please. Overall I had a great experience.

Average sushi at best. Sauce on the R8 Eel Avocado too heavy for the small pieces. R17 Spicy Salmon Skin palatable. Joints that use cucumber in seemingly a majority of their rolls is hardly authentic Japanese.

Came in a Monday night for salmon nigiri, the fish was so fresh and the rice was so good that I ended up ordering 3 more nigiri.

Delicious sushi, reasonably priced. The shintori dome is a MUST! It has salmon, tuna, shrimp, crab, and avocado over a ball of rice, topped with the most delicious sauce. The other rolls/sushi were good too. There’s only a couple of tables, so if you want sushi during a peak meal time, I recommend ordering for pick up.

Tiny spot that has been here 20+ years. Extensive sushi menu. Reminded me of little sushi shops in Mishima.

I have always loved this small and friendly sushi bar. I want to return, but I believe part of the experience in addition to their very good sushi, is interacting with the staff and other patrons. When you return to normal inside dining

This place has the best lunch special! Special #1 is one of my favorite lunches on the planet. Good Miso soup to start, CA roll and a sampler of various delicious Nigiri. I always come here when I visit home a couple times a year.
