You definitely don’t get an equal bang for your buck. If you order sushi service is fairly quick but anything other, IE tempura, you will have a decently long wait. I posted an updated menu, since most have outdated prices.

So being Hapa, I feel like I have an unjustified authority about reviewing Japanese food. But full disclosure, I’m the only Asian I the world allergic to any type of tuna so take it with a grain of salt. I’m sure the sashimi is delicious!

Decent food but MOST AWFUL STAFF behind the counter giving us tons of attitude. The owners were friendly but not their entitled millennial employee allegedly of the opinion that guests exist purely for his personal convenience.

The host has terrible attitude towards customer walking in right before 9pm when the closing time on Google says it closes at 9:30pm. Need to consider changing the time on Google or have a better attitude towards potential customers in the future.

Delicious! Good service – all great but daily market prices were a bit over the expensive. I will go back but might avoid the mp’s

Great Sushi, Melts in your mouth. Same Original Crew since I first went there over 25 years ago. Price is average for a sushi place, the Uni is very pricey at $30 but from Japan.

Best sushi in the desert. Quality level extremely high and prices are reasonable. We had a blast here and staff couldn’t have been nicer. Quality better than many of the revered sushi spots in LA and fish was fresh fresh fresh. Will be coming back.

My family and I have been going here since I was little and it’s always a 10/10. Their sushi is so fresh and amazing also recommend the chilean sea bass special. Warm and welcoming staff, Masao is the head sushi chef and he is so talented and kind. Highly recommend!!
