Such a great place. I've been in a handful of times to absolutely DESTROY a large quantity of nigiri and the quality has always been excellent. My partner never turns this place down. Delicious, with small but mighty staff.
3 years ago review: Initially I avoided this place because of the gimmicky "half off" (which makes things you know... regular price) menu. Finally tried it for a family take out dinner and I'm disappointed I hadn't gone sooner! Ordering over the phone the gal was accurate, very pleasant. The menu indicates which items are gluten free (nice) and due to allergy I requested that my rolls were separate from the others (nailed it - everything for 4 people was perfectly packaged). They had gluten free/tamari sauce. I tend to stick to the simple rolls due to allergy. The others in the party got the teriyaki chicken entree (very good - well cooked but tender and juicy; excellent salad dressing), unagi & tempura rolls (tasty and delicious) and chopped scallop handroll, tekka maki. Order was on time for pickup and staff were very nice and efficient. I'll...
Read moreI dined here for a weekday dinner with a large party of folks. A reservation was made. The staff was super accommodating and the kitchen did an outstanding job of getting our orders out timely which isn't an easy feat. The food was yummy. Nice presentation.
Onto talking about the food. I had two sushi rolls. The rolls had thin slivers of raw fish on top. I was hoping for wee bit thicker cuts. But I can't complain. Pricing is advertised at 50% off. The 50% pricing for what was served is comparable to other similar sushi places in Folsom and EDH. The flavors are on point. Hubs had the three item bento with mixed tempura, sesame chicken, and fried chicken gyoza. $18.95. It came with miso soup, white rice, and salad. All yummy and fresh tasting. Is it culinary genius?!? Not quite, but sure is downright comforting and tasty.
But the place is cozy smallish and a bit cramped to accommodate 14. So for large parties of folks, if you're interested, you should check out the accommodations ahead of time to make sure it...
Read moreOrdered a take out, we tried out their food due to the high rating but..our take out is horrible. We ordered a tonkatsu and a bento. Tonkatsu is just a breaded fried pork chop that was overcooked and extremely hard and dry, I never had a pork chop this bad before. It is definitely not how tonkatsu should look like. The bento we had tempura, grilled salmon and sashimi, we threw away half the food cos it was so hard to digest. Tempura is not really cooked, there is no flavor. I didn't eat the salmon but my partner said it is the worst salmon he had in his life. So overpriced for the quality of food they are selling. He is usually not a picky eater but it was really bad that we had to order something...
