I ordered a trio sushi lunch special and not only was it delicious, it was beautifully presented! The shrimp, tuna, and sweet potato rolls were filled with flavor. My server was very courteous and accommodating. I can see that there is a definite attention to detail from the decor to the food. I would definitely come back again.

This is an adorable spot with tasty food. We’ve ordered sushi rolls and hibachi. Both have been delicious. The spicy tuna and sweet potato rolls are great. The beef hibachi is amazing. The meat is tender and melts in your mouth. The rice is so buttery and the veggies it is served make your mouth water. The prices are decent and the service is good. Everyone is very attentive. They also offer a variety of dishes. They have marking bumping the front but not many spots.

The Fuji Roll is top-tier! Beautiful and cozy atmosphere with great food and service; it’s also a BYOB, which is a plus!

Beautiful atmosphere very bright and romantic. I had the spicy California and shrimp avocado rolls they were just ok. It came with a salad which I did not enjoy very dry and plain ginger dressing not tasty at all. Passion fruit juice was yummy

Unfortunately I made the mistake of relying on other reviews in trying this restaurant for the first time. Freshness of food is highly questionable. Tuna was a dark grey/brown color. Hibachi steak had a sour after taste. For sushi, there was a higher ratio of rice to fish; not to mention it wasnt even sushi rice, just regular medium grain rice was used. Presentation of sushi came in a pasta bowl. Bottom line is if you’re looking for a very non traditional sushi spot you may want to consider this and hope you don’t get sick.

It’s ok. Not the best, not the worst. I ordered the Fuji Roll, Shrimp Tampora, Spicy Tuna, and Mr F Roll. I felt like the rolls have too much rice. The Fuji Roll comes with smoked Salmon but it had a burnt taste rather than smoked. I also ordered Chicken Tampora and Yuca Fries as an appetizer. The Chicken came with 5 small pieces of chicken and a lot more veggies than meat. I felt like the food had a Latin twist.. as though I would find this Japanese restaurant in Latin America. The service on the other hand, was good. Add two drinks and Total cost came to <$70 (without tip).

Have yet to sit down but their indoor arrangement looks so comfy. But as always when I order from their the food is fresh and yummy. Especially love the dressing the put on their salads.

Initially wasn’t planning to stop here since it was out of the way. The other place, sushi saga, wasn’t following state mandated distancing so we left to come here.

Good service, food prep was somewhat slow even though we were the only ones there, but overall the food was just decent (not terrible but not great either). Slightly on the more expensive side but it could be said that it’s on par with other Japanese food. Beef teriyaki bento box was about $24 and chirashi was $27. I didn’t enjoy my chirashi as much – it was devoid of the usual sashimi you find at other Japanese restaurants and filled with the cheaper ingredients such as crab meat, 1 tuna sashimi, 3 shrimp and 2 other terribly cut sashimi I had a bite of but did not eat as it was still scaley.(top left in the chirashi picture).
