“Very good sushi place I would highly recommend. This is definitely one of the few good ones out there. It’s also few places where you wouldn’t feel awkward eating by yourself. (Highly recommend bar table.) I heard there are a lot of regulars and I understand why. Couple of things that stood out: 1) Tamago is very different but REALLY good. It doesn’t come with rice BUT it kind of reminds me of a moist cake. 2) Their soy sauce tray comes with ginger and wasabi on it. At first I was confused because I was planning to pour soy sauce on the tray with wasabi but it would ruin ginger…come to find out, nigiri comes out with soy sauce on it. So you would need to put little bit of wasabi on it without soy sauce and eat. This was great because it keeps the wasabi texture. 3) Chocalate lava cake was pretty good. Warm, sweet but not too sweet. Size is okay but I hoped it would be a little bigger. Probably because it was good and I wanted a little more of it 😂”
“I rave about this place to anyone that will listen. A tiny little hidden gem that has the taste of the city without the city price. All the omakase options are very affordable and do not lack on flavor at all. From the rolls to all the appetizers, I absolutely love this place! Every single bite of nigiri was so good, my favorite was the scallop, yellow copper, and chutoro. Highly highly recommend!”
“The taste was clean, affordable and the chefs were so kind, informative and friendly. They answer all questions you have. I really liked how the music was not too loud so you can actually hear your company speaking and enjoy your conversation. For omakase I would say it was really the best because it comes out fast too.”
“We visited to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The staff and owner-chef were incredibly kind and even came by to acknowledge us personally. We ordered the Jack and Queen omakase, and each dish was creative, flavorful, and well balanced. We will definitely be returning.”
“Food comment: This Sushi restaurant is the best sushi spot I’ve been to. To start, they do not give imitation crab in their sushi. They have actual crab in their sushi. But the best thing you can get in this restaurant is the Omakase. The richness and flavor of each nigiri and sashimi are exceptional. Each piece is fresh, and the additives/garnish are intentionally complementary to the dish, adding a mouthful of flavor. My favorites are Otoro, Shutoro, and Hamachi. I personally like to order Queen or King Omakase. Also, I would like to add that the chefs' 3-course selection makes you want to cry with how good it is. My wife always makes fun of me when I eat their best food (I close my eyes and she sees my eyes twitch- hahaha). Their hand rolls are also exceptional, my favorite being Negi Toro (incredibly flavorful). Cocktails: Their unique “old fashion” is tasty and it's on the sweeter side. I also had their Lychee-Tini. This one was also on the sweeter side- tasty, but I prefer their old-fashion. Dessert: I forgot the names of the desserts, but I had 3 in particular. One of them was pistachio ice cream, another was lemon ice cream, and their mochi. All of them were good, but the lemon ice cream and the mochi were great. Salad: My wife had their salad, and it’s a pretty good salad. Their peanut sauce blended well with the salad's flavor. Soup: Please try their miso soup. It’s very soothing and relaxing to the stomach. Customer service: Excellent. The sushi chefs are friendly and interactive. The servers are also friendly and know the menu very well. They are also swift. They are what One Piece calls a Nakama. Anime fan: Last but not least, if you love anime, especially One Piece, this place has many artistic figures of One Piece characters. The name of their restaurant is named after one of the emperors in One Piece: Kaido. And each of the Omakase selections is after the name of Kaido’s general: Jack, Queen, and King (Mind you, Kaido is the fourth Omakase). Note: I’ve been here multiple times. In fact, I’ve been here every month, and they have never failed to impress me. Planning to be here in January of 2026 again. I hope the pictures show how artistic, beautiful, and tasty the food is. Enjoy”
