Small restaurant. Good food. Overall impression: most dishes are sweet flavored.

The utter stomach churning experience I derived from this godforsaken sushi restaurant was immeasurable. To start, the food quality was beyond revolting. Our main courses included a Chirashi bowl, a rainbow roll, as well as a spicy tuna roll. The Chirashi was completely flavorless with no flair to its appearance. When biting into a piece of sashimi one should experience freshness and a feeling of satisfaction. However, I only felt like I had eaten a tuna-shaped lump of nothingness as I bit into the sashimi. Furthermore, both rolls’ main source of protein was the imitation crab, or so they say. I don’t know how they pulled off such a feat, but the crab tasted like string cheese with no real purpose in the dish. Overall, the food was bland, unremarkable, and an insult to all Japanese cuisine. I don’t have much to say for the service and atmosphere other than being ordinary since I had ordered my food for pick-up. Though I do have something to say about their outrageous pricing for their terrible food. To be more specific, I ordered the three main dishes , 4 tamagos, and 4 ikuras. The total pricing came up to $157. I am speechless. Go to Drunken Monkey if you’re in the area of Truckee. That is all I have to say.

Wondering if they changed ownership recently. The quality has gone down. Need to change the soy sauce. Don’t recommend this soy sauce for sushi.

Very friendly sushi joint with a small town feel. Pleasantly surprised by the flavor combinations of some of the rolls and the tempura is super crispy. Try the shark bite, Ham solo and definitely sit at the bar! We’ve been rewarded with a free drink each time we’ve been there!

We went there to get the Poki bowls and sushi. I highly recommend getting the Southwest sushi roll and the Hurricane roll. They were both great and contemplated going back for more the very next day!

Warning: this place is highly UNETHICAL & charges a tip on the phone for to go order, does not tell you and does not provide a receipt. I wouldn’t have discovered if not for the reviews.

We went in and ordered 2 rolls. It took 55 minutes to get. Four tables sat down after us and received their rolls. The sushi was not fresh and they tacked on extra without saying anything.

Good, classic sushi joint. They have a bar, which is nice, and they have good fish. They don’t have snapper tho… Which is really a heart breaker for me. My wife and I had a great time.

Busy place on a Saturday night. Food was worth the wait. Ahi poke bowl with half salad half rice was amazing, lots of delightful taste treats The shrimp tempura was lightly battered and included broccoli, squash, carrots, potato, green beans, pleasing to the eye and palate. Both dishes are new favorites!
