Best hibachi I have found. Reasonable prices. Big menu. Only complaint was the breading for the tempura was moreChewy than crunchy. Unsure if this is how it is normally but the rest of my meal was amazing.
Many have already said it, but this is kind of one of those hidden gems. Never really busy inside, but definitely always busy for takeout and delivery service orders. This isn't like a fancy date night kinda place, but it's definitely a place for a great meal when not worried about the ambiance. It's a rather open place with the seating being right by the sushi bar and open to the entrance all in one view, and there is like another section of the restaurant behind that wall, but I think they only use it if busy/full it seems. Service is okay and pretty typical for what you get at most hibachi style restaurants, which is not personable but just checklist style. I'm okay with it though as long as it's attentive and my drink isn't empty, so no worries because this spot is intimate enough to be checked on and constantly see your server. Sushi here is fresh and delish. This time I ordered just a spider roll as an appetizer, but have had the pleasure of trying many different sushi options here before. Definitely a good choice to try something. I really like their hibachi, despite them not having a grill where you get the show and it's cooked in front of you. Honestly, sometimes (most times) I don't want the show and just want to eat lol so I actually like that I get my food in about 20 mins! The only things I wish they would change is to cut the veggies more and bring out yum yum and/or ginger sauce without having to ask for it. Either way food is great. I've also ordered takeout during lunch and prices are great and portions are decent. I always appreciate consistency between lunch and dinner and dine in vs takeout for a restaurant, and they are consistent regardless of how you dine. I like that it's kinda low key in the cut and never packed and pretty intimate for a quick hibachi or sushi dinner!

This restaurant has outstanding sushi and food, the presentation of the food is outstanding and like out of a fine food magazine also the waitress was great and ensuring that everything was to our liking, do this restaurant you won't regret it!
Food was good. But the sashimi was cut too thick for my preference. Due to my wheelchair we sat in the bar area of the restaurant. The presentation of my dish was lit up. Very impressive. It was one of those little lights. I tried to get a picture while it was all lit. Meal included soup and salad. Overall it was good enough but I won't go back. Did not feel it was good enough for the price. Oh one other comment: I asked for a side order of flying fish roe. It was included in my dish of chef selections. But they did charge extra and selected other items for my order. I think they could have included the flying fish roe as part of the chef selections in my main dish, rather than the extra charge for them.

It tasted fine- the sushi roll were only 6 pieces which I’ve never seen. The decor inside was unique and it was quick service. I’m gonna try somewhere that gives larger portions next time.

Love it. The atmosphere here is great. The bar and tables are made of wood, it's very quiet and zen tbh. The food is also very good. Lunch specials are reasonably priced. Service is quick. I definitely will be

A wonderful bistro. Excellent service, very friendly staff. Very tasty rolls! And in general, I liked everything.
I LOVVEEEE the sushi i had here and it is definitely better than anything in Charlottesville and I am SO SAD that I can't eat here all the time... their sushi is so good!!!The inside is super comfortable and my boyfriend and I ordered some gyoza to start and it was DELISH! We knew we were in for a good night.He ordered some ramen and it was decent but their sushi is SO good! I ordered the Deadpool roll which was a tempura wrap with crab jalapeño tempura and i think yellowtail on top with a peppercorn sauce and oh my god it was amazing. I was so happy with it. The roll was HUGE and the portions were very well balanced. Each piece was about 2-3 bites so it was definitely filling. It was so good I ordered a Black Russian roll to go and had it when I got home from traveling all day and it was also amazing.The service was great and they were very accommodating of me adding on a Togo order. I would definitely be back. I saw people on the Richmond subreddit talking about this place and other reviews saying this is Richmond's best kept secret - I agree!! The sushi here is bomb.I will be back!
