Best food in town

by levin doni at Citysearch

Food is amazing. Every time I come here, I feel like I never want to leave. Very chic atmosphere with a relaxing mood.

The service is great and the staff really does a terrific job at taking care of you.

The appetizers are delicious.

Theres plenty of places to park: theres a parking lot across the street and a parkin garage up the street within walking distance.

Most of the time I find myself looking at my watch waiting for the food to come, but here I was so entertained with the fun atmosphere that I was pleasantly surprised when my food arrived

Great Nieghborhood Sushi

by kanne05 at Citysearch

Delicious sushi and fun hangout for a great price. The owners and staff are always friendly and welcoming. The sushi is some of the freshest around and the cut is large for the price. The salmon collar is excellent too. The chefs are great and love creating their specialties. The fried peanut butter and banana with ice cream dessert makes a delicious ending to your meal.

Fresh fish, cute atmosphere and good prices

by dkhoney18 at Citysearch

I've been looking for a reasonably priced and good sushi place for awhile. My friend suggested this place but the outside looked uninviting so I never went. I finally did and was impressed. It has a cute decor and the food is great. The portions are good and the fish tastes fresh. I've had different things off of the menu and everything was good. The yellowtail collar in particular is delicious. The parking is very convenient with it's big lot and it's nice to eat up on Sunset. I've taken friends there and they all said they'll be going back. I'll definitely add it to my list for the attentive service, above average food and reasonable prices.

  • Pros: Price, quality, parking
  • Cons: none

Leathery Fish

by colleenkomalley at Citysearch

We went here on the recommendation of a friend of a friend. Never again will I order blindly from a new sushi place. In the future, we will order one dish and go from there. We ordered an entire dinner and were disappointed greatly with the quality of fish. My red snapper was tough and had the texture of leather.

The salmon salad was good but when our sashimi arrived I felt a crunch of ice when I bite down - clearly they had not properly prepared the fish.

I would definitely pass up this place.

  • Pros: easy to park
  • Cons: low grade fish
