Caroline Japic
Hands down the best sushi in Palo Alto. It’s called “executive sushi” for a reason. It’s definitely pricey, but very, very fresh. We love the edamame, miso soup, chef’s special role, spicy tuna, volcano roll, tempura shrimp roll, yaki udon, rock shrimp tempura… everything is amazing and the beer is cold. Really, really love this spot.

The sushi was some of the best I’ve ever had. The omakase selection was incredible and their rotating menu had some tasty and fun options.

Delicious sushi at this excellent restaurant. Seats roughly 10-12 tables inside with more seating outside (where there are heaters and a canopy). Sushi is delicious and staff are super friendly, efficient and courteous. Highly recommended.

Nestled in Palo Alto, this petite sushi haven delivers an oceanic symphony on every plate. Despite its size, the restaurant’s commitment to sourcing the finest fish takes center stage. Each delicate creation is a testament to the chef’s artistry, as fresh flavors burst with every bite. The intimate setting fosters a sense of culinary communion, where sushi enthusiasts can savor the ocean’s bounty. From traditional favorites to daring delicacies, this hidden gem showcases the ocean’s harvest like no other. For those seeking an unforgettable aquatic journey, this small yet abundant sushi spot is a must-visit in the heart of Palo Alto.

Fresh sushi, good value. Easy to make a reservation. Staff was friendly and food was serviced very quickly after we ordered. Great place for family and friend get together. Do not order Wagu beef rice. It is $44 but you cannot tell it was wagu beef.

Absolutely amazing food. Top quality ingredients are prepared and presented. Other than the price, this is an awesome sushi place. I heard from a recommendation from a friend and it proved great.

Completely uninteresting sushi. Pictures of other reviewers don’t match what I was served. Panko they use for tempura tasted odd. Tuna is not sliced, but grounded.

Only if you eat sushi then its 4.5 but not for the price we paid. Probably not gonna recommend it to anyone. Extremely overpriced and it took us 40 mins to get the food. Not worth the $75 per person price tag. the long wait / the mediocre sushi bar service & atmosphere. Gotta pay extra $4 for a tiny bowl of side miso soup (the same thing you can normally get it for free anywhere else for a set menu)
