Everyone at the table agreed this was some of the best sushi we had ever had! In addition to the excellent food, the service was outstanding. Even though the restaurant was very busy, some of our starters came out so fast, which was satisfying because...Read More

Nice restaurant with very fresh Japanese sushi. It's a bit pricy for what you get. I'd rather go across the street to sugar fish. Fusion sushi is also another option although it's not traditional and less quality but it's a lot less pricy.

One of my fav sushi spots in the South Bay. Quality fish, always fresh, reasonable prices, around the corner from the beach. What’s not to love? Don’t sleep on the baked crab hand roll.

My absolute favorite sushi place in the area! The sushi is so delicious and flavorful and if you have kiddos the kids menu is a hit since it is served on a boat.
