I love getting my sushi and rolls here. I'm usually in a rush and they're very accommodating and work quickly. I got the CHERRY BLOSSOM and the DRAGON ROLL. (I started eating it and then remembered to take a pic.) I love how the flavors are clean, fresh, good portions, pretty and neatly made, and the rolls I chose are not overly doused in sweet sauces like some places do.
This DRAGON ROLL is so good! It's been in my takeout container for 45 min before I had a chance to eat it and I'm pleasantly surprised that the shrimp tempura & veggies are still crunchy! I noticed that they make the food as orders are purchased, hence the freshness!
Some people say the prices are high but that is the cost of food materials, business rent, a kitchen, paying several employees north of minimum wage, and having enough to live off these days.

Remember that Emeryville has a 10.5% sales tax on top of the...
Read moreService was good, but that's the only good thing about this place. Where to start... The food is overpriced. I got Salmon Nigiri, which is $6.50. Only got two portions. Not to mention that the food looks reheated and tastes mediocre. The soy sauce just made my mouth cry, it's crap. I actually filtered it through a napkin and it tasted better. One last thing, the Wasabi was abysmal, the only way I could describe it as if it was cinnamon's meth addicted cousin, made my mouth incredibly dry, insanely gritty, and it's not even spicy, much less flavorful. This place is just overall really bad. Do not go here!
P.S. I'm pretty sure sand tastes better than the wasabi that was...
