Amazingly fresh fish which is hard to find – and our new favorite sushi place in Danville. The sushi is truly quality and always delicious. The service is so friendly and warm, and we feel welcomed and well-fed every time we come.

We came here for an anniversary dinner and the service was fantastic. They were friendly, helpful and accommodating in every way. The fish was great and good portioned. Will definitely visit again.

I called and ordered a roll to go-the Storm roll. It was delicious, and the finest quality and freshness! The owners were there, and the place looks extremely cute inside and also has outside seating. I had never been here before, but will be coming back soon. Very good sushi!

We really enjoyed this place. As others have commented, service is a bit slow. One person seems to cover the whole space. The fish seemed fresh and they gave you good size portions. The hand rolls had chunks of fish instead of the ground mish-mash you usually get.

My favorite Sushi place in the East Bay Area. Been coming here for years. The quality of the sushi is excellent and the portions are huge. The family favorite is the Jedi Roll, Danville Roll, and Hamachi Nigiri. Jon is the owner and his staff and daughter are always super friendly. Depending on the night, the wait could be long, but for me, worth the wait.

This cozy little family owned restaurant serves great food and large beers. You might miss this tucked away little gem from the road but once inside you are greeted and seated promptly. Even on a hot and busy 111 degree day, they were still able to find us a table and get us started right away. The food was great. I ordered a salad, miso soup and gyoza for the table. The salad was light, the miso was delicious, and the gyoza were perfectly crispy. I ordered the Red Dragon roll, California roll, and spicy tuna roll. The presentation was great and the order sizes offer plenty of food. The servers were fantastic. I think there were only two servers for the whole restaurant, but they efficiently and gleefully accommodated a full house. Ambiance was lacking a bit so be sure to have conversation topics picked out in order to avoid awkward silences. Ultimately, I will absolutely come back to this restaurant and recommend it to others as well.

Food was good, but it took over an hour to get served after we ordered. A large party that showed up 30 minutes after we ordered got more food than we ordered in total almost 15 minutes before us, too.
