The absolute best sushi restaurant ever! Chef Kim is the sensei of Japanese cuisine. Every visit here is an experience full of delicious dishes and unforgettable memories. As a regular, I 100% recommend it If you're planning on coming back tomorrow!
This spot is great. Not a lot of tables but the food is incredible. We had to baked alaska and Salmon gone wild roll. Sushi took some time to come out but such a warm and welcoming place. I wanna keep it a neighborhood secret but they deserve all the success!
01/15/2025 - It's still a small business style sushi place. The service is excellent. The staff works very hard. The sushi is made well with fresh ingredients. The happy hour is good. Love coming to after a long day.
Service is good here, parking was weird for me. Not sure where to park and ended up behind the restaurant. But the walk was good since I overstuffed myself. The ponzu sauce here didn't feel very lemony. And the fish tasted a bit bland...weird, maybe the rice needed to be more seasoned more? I guess it's good that the fish didn't taste or smell fishy. Though, one of my rolls did taste a bit fishy. And the rice was much too hard. It made the rolls less enjoyable. I would come back but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way for this place. I have mixed feelings about this place. Good but not good. Maybe I need to give them another try. ps...their warm rolls are MUCH better than their cold rolls. The rolls with crab meat tasted better, probably because of the mayo as extra lubricant for the dry rice.
Great neighborhood casual sushi spot! I usually go to Hoka Hoka, Sushi Time, or Coco Sushi, but this was great for a nice change of pace. I appreciated the complimentary steamed edamame upon sitting down and the friendliness of the staff. They also have lots of small rolls that are more interesting than most sushi menus. It gets super busy on Friday nights and weekends so prepare for a long wait including an hour for to-go/online orders! I was able to walk in and be sat quickly however on a recent Monday night.
We will not go anywhere else for sushi ,sashimi , salads & plates !!! AAA Chef & waitstaff! MR. Kim you did it right ! Prices are excellent!
This place is very decent sushi restaurant. It has authentic flavors, however, a lot of the sushi is not uniform and sometimes the menu can be confusing (there are two different kinds of crunch roll and we were confused the difference between them until we saw the physical rolls). The sushi tasted fresh and the sauces weee slightly overpowering but I enjoyed my meal otherwise. The vibes of this place are hilarious, the owner is always saying "See you tomorrow!" and the workers are all smiling. The service was amazing too. I wish the rolls were more differentiated and melted in your mouth more. However, the udon was decent and comforting and the beef teriyaki was a bit salty.
Nifty, cozy sushi joint with swift and friendly service. "See you tomorrow" is the phrase here because locals call this spot awesome and frequent here more than they visit their own fridge. Our first time, and it was memorable. The Mr. ran into an old friend, and we struck up conversations with everyone around us. It's easy to do when the sushi is yummy and the sake is flowing. I kept it legal because I was driving, but that didn't stop me from chowing down on a Dynamite and Super Crunchy Roll. The Mr. ended up loving my super crunchy roll, so I kinda had to fight him for the last couple of pieces. I always order the uncomplicated tasty stuff. Mr. Kim was a superb host - I can't wait to visit again. Parking is plentiful around the back. Note that there is no back entrance, so plan for a short walk around to the front of the tiny restaurant. Sports playing on the TV screens. Locals singing Mr. Kim's praises and the sushi is delicious. This place is a bit out of our 10-minute periphery, but it's absolutely worth the trip. Still can't get real crab in a California roll (they only have blue soft shell crab), but we didn't miss it (plus I'm trying to ween the Mr off California rolls, I mean, come on! Ha ha.) I'm looking forward to our next sushi outing. Kanpai! See you tomorrow, good people.
This place is good, has a dog friendly outdoor patio and the prices of the roll are very good! This place would be a solid 5 star but I docked a star because it took 30-45 minutes for the food to come out. It's a bit long for me but they were incredibly busy with takeout orders so maybe they prioritize those. I got the sushi combo and asked for them to sear it. Highly recommend!! I love seared sushi. The other 2 rolls we got were good as well. We got a roll without rice, I think it's called ninja something ... and that took 45 minutes to come out. Not sure if it's worth the wait but I was already too full lol.
