Good food, better service. Always a pleasure to dine here. Gluten free options? Just get rolls without sauces.

We’ve been coming here for five years now. This is a nice little gem in Greenhaven that I discovered while living there. Even though we’re now in Natomas, we still come back because of the consistency of the food.We always order the same thing, too: Bento Box w/ Teriyaki Salmon and Sesame Chicken Mixed Tempura, Miso Soup & the Hawaiian Poke Roll. Along with Hot Sake. Everything just hits the spot. We always leave full and content. The Mixed Tempura is some of the best I’ve had (and I know the picture I took wasn’t). It’s always cooked perfectly and is crispy and delicious. Never once has it been soggy. Granted, tempura is not a to go item. It needs to be eaten NOW! I honestly haven’t tried many of their rolls simply because I prefer simplicity over rolls with tons of sauces. The Poke being our exception.I’ll say what knocks a star off is the inconsistent service. This place gets tons of DoorDash orders and they seem to prioritize them. We walk in and there’s literally 15 to go orders and drivers standing around. As a result, you only have like two waiters to greet and wait tables. So I’d recommend going at non-peak hours since the to go orders seem to slow down after 630. My other gripe is the cleanliness of the place. The floorboards near the walls are absolutely filthy. I try not to look, but it’s hard not to notice. I just hope their kitchen looks better.All in all, a really solid place for Japanese food!

This is my favorite spot for sushi. We always sit at the bar and just order direct from the chefs who are always friendly and super quick. The sushi plates are great. Give Pepperfin and salmon carpacio a try!

I love the great food and service. However, when the owner has friends at the restaurant, it gets loud and frankly obnoxious. It's still a restaurant, and people need to have manners.

Decent food, tried the dinner for two for $55. It's a good price for the amount of food (appetizer+3items+dessert). I enjoyed the hot miso soup with the soft, smooth tofu also the mochi ice cream dessert. Good service. One minus is the restaurant itself doesn't seem to be very clean. The ground, corner of walls, and restroom are not clean.

The food here is delicious and the staff are friendly! Every time we eat here, we're recognized and treated as friends. It makes for a genuine and nice experience, rather than "just being a customer."We got several sushi (my favorite is the Veggie Ten) and hand rolls, miso soup, a salmon teriyaki bento, and mochi ice cream.It was all sooo good! The sushi is my favorite, love the sauces and flavor combos. ? and the mochi ice cream! We've had mochi ice cream from Japanese restaurants before and it's tasted like it came out of a box. This tasted fresh and like it wasn't just thawed.Aways recommend this restaurant. We're rooting for it's continued success!
This is a one-star rated restaurant across the board. The restaurant greets you with black mold all over the floor molding trim. It was utterly disgusting and unsightly. I came here with a friend and he told me that he goes to the restaurant occasionally and we felt like eating a teriyaki bento box. As we were looking through the menu, I smelled a foul odor. I said why does it smell like pee here? I realized that the bathroom was located a few tables behind us, and again, what a disgusting experience that I almost wanted to walk out of there. We proceeded to place our order and I ordered my Salmon Teriyaki with Chicken Katsu bento box. My order came and the Salmon was underwhelming, It was paper thin and the sauce was a dark and bitter teriyaki sauce. It tasted awful. The Chicken Katsu had dark red meat which I don't prefer, I prefer white meat for my chicken. We were served our food without utensils so we sat there while the one waitress served other customers. We asked the waiter, who seemed to be the one in charge of the place, maybe he was the owner. He answered the phone as my friend said, "excuse me", and that waiter told my friend to hush and signaled with his pointer finger across his mouth and pointed on the phone. He obviously did not want to be disturbed because he was taking an order from another customer. So we waited for the waitress to be available (maybe his girlfriend or wife?). She ended up giving us the utensils after 3-4 minutes of staring at our food. No apologies from anyone. This kind of service is a total disappointment and unacceptable. At the end of our not so pleasant meal, my friend and I had leftovers and we asked for a to-go box and it was approaching 8pm. It seemed the restaurant was closing for the night and the rude waiter took their walkway carpet from the ground and started flicking it out in front of us while our food was still on the plate and about to scoop it into the to-go box. My jaw dropped. Then he let the carpet drop-fold into half onto the floor, and grabbed a second walkway carpet in that skinny walkway, again right next to our table and flicked it out again and let it drop-fold halfway onto the floor, essentially stacking those two carpets on top of one another. I don't want to imagine how much micro dust went into our food. I sill gave the waitress 15% tip that no one deserved. But really? What happened to good customer service and good clean food and good clean environment? If you want to get sushi or bento box, please avoid thiis place at all cost!!!! Bad service, bad food, bad waiter!!! We don't appreciate you. You need to clean up your restaurant and wipe away your nasty attitude and behavior!!!
