“ The food was great!! We really enjoyed ourselves. I ordered the udon with the tempura. But the tempura came out later but the server didn’t say a word when she brought the udon. She could have let me know that it comes out separately. Otherwise everything else was great. ”
“ Small but really cool sushi place! The portions are huge and all the components are fresh and nicely picked for every kind of rolls. The variety of rolls is wide enough to make you scroll the menu twice to make sure you made the best choice(: My rolls were Main Man Ben’s and they exceeded my expectations. The service is good too. We got our order really quickly. Will definitely return here again ”

“ One of the best sushi places I've ever been to! Their speciality rolls are out of this world - fresh and full of flavor! I wanted something spicy so I went with the Kraken (left) & Chupacabra (right) and both just hit the spot. Highly recommend dropping by. ”
“ Awesome food! Fish quality is really good, super fresh, tasty and perfectly cut for nigiri. Since I moved to California, I've been looking for authentic Japanese food, and this place really has it! Friendly staff and good service. Absolutely loved it! ”
“ This is hands down the best sushi spot I’ve ever been to. They know me by name because I’m there every week now. The staff is awesome and the chef is amazing. You can tell they only use fresh fish and that they are passionate about serving you the absolute best sushi. I could be having the worst day in the world but if I come here, grab some sushi, and have an ice cold Sapporo it brings me right out of my funk. After Octopus, you’ll realize you’re just wasting your time and money at the other spots. ”
