Sad to see the formerly well established restaurant be run down with shockingly rude service from wait staff. Get new waiters with basic service knowledge.

Top notch sushi. The best quality fish, even over Nobu in Cabo. I was blown away and will fly here just for this experience in the future. Great people, great food.

Older but clean place. Service is so so, but I think it's because they don't have a lot of staff (and I always go right when it opens and it's a mad rush at 5pm).But to the most important part. Their sushi is very, very good. Not fancy, but these Japanese sushi chefs always present you with very fresh and good quality sushi.

If you want to be ignored for 40 minutes in the waiting section, never greeted by staff once, rushed through your meal (which half of was forgotten), talked down to when ordering (called a “kid” for ordering a noodle dish from their main menu and harshly judged for “ordering too much food”), AND have them STEAL AND COMMIT FRAUD WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD, then this is the place for you!!! We have never been so poorly treated in a restaurant— and it absolutely constituted no tip at the end of our horrible experience. Couple days letter we notice they changed the total amount we paid by FALSLY ADDING A TIP (FRAUD AND THEFT). Good thing we took a picture of our receipt because we are calling our credit card company AND the police!!!!! Never will we subject ourselves to their filthy behavior or business again. We will be reporting to better business bureau.

First time for us in a long time! This shopping center has really changed.There is plenty of parking.It's a small place with a longish sushi bar and a few tables. We (party of 2) got there around 5:30 on a week night and we were seated within 10 minutes. It has a little bit of an awkward waiting area that would feel too cramped for more than 5 people. We got the Uoko nabe and really liked the authentic flavor, and the sushi dinner for a nice variety. Each were around $19 and nowadays that's a fair price.It's family friendly and casual here.We'll be back!

Nice little Japanese spot that does everything well.Whether you are looking for a quick lunch or a nice sit-down sushi/sashimi dinner, you will find something here.

It is an unpretentious place with an immaculate execution. A perfect place for lunch or dinner. The rice and sushi is awesome. Better than in Japan. A warm towel starts you off with a salad and drink. Everything after that is wonderful, light, and super clean tastes. Best I've had. They show you the whole fish to show you how fresh it is. Absolute perfection. A must.
