We use the highest quality fish fresh daily from Japan and all over the world! Our soy sauce is a special house recipe. We use high quality wasabi and ginger. The Morishita family opened the second sushi bar in America in 1966 and have received received a sushi pioneer award and plaque from the California State Assembly. Take out/To Go orders accepted. Outstanding sushi, sashimi, and authentic prepared and cooked Japanese style cuisine.

In Short – A long pale sushi bar made of prized Japanese Cypress dominates the minimalist, blond wood and white bento box of a room. The chefs each have 25 years' experience, and the savvy crowd knows it. Homemade soy, ponzu and eel sauces belie the care devoted to the daily fresh fish from Japan. Beyond sushi, other specialties include grilled conch served in its shell, sliced lotus root with beef tempura, deep fried hama hama oysters, and fugu (blowfish skin) with ponzu.

Pretty, Pretty Good!
by mollypsca
This was really good sushi from a lover of CA rolls, Unagi and Miso Soup. I am not the most adventurous, but I know what I like ... and that is, clean - affordable - quality sushi. This place fits the bill. In fact, I found it through citysearch and saw all of the fantastic reviews and thought, why not? So, I did and here I am adding to them. There are a couple of bad reviews, ignore them. This place is solid! There is also some REALLY cool shopping in the mall, so plan some extra time and have a look around.
- Pros: Clean, Nice, Good
- Cons: None

Super Fresh Fish! Better than Japan!
by osakagirl
Wow! Better than I've had in Japan and that's where the fish is coming from. How's that possible?
Started with the King Crab Sunomono appetizer is fantastic it had the sea salt flavor from the sea.
Their uni is so sweet and fresh. Love their live sweet shrimp. Most times I get the heads fried like popcorn shrimp. Their spanish mackerel is soooooo good with grated ginger and ponzu sauce.
It's on par if not better with the best sushi bars on westside which I normally pay $100+ pp at 70-80% of the price.
The owner, Tomoko dressed in blue is super friendly and is knowledgeable about food.
- Pros: Fish Selection, Super Fresh Fish, Authentic
- Cons: Didn't know about it earlier.
