Wow, I have been eating sushi for 35 years and this is the third place where I was ever truly surprised and delighted. While I am not a real officionado I can say for certain that all the boxes got a check mark. Food, atmosphere, and staff were not just wonderful but really a cut above my expectations. I’ve never had makerel that was so mild but still flavorful. We had a type of poke salad with mixed fish and mixed greens and pickled veg that was fantastic. The atmosphere, the ambiance, the art, the lighting, the architecture is pretty darn cool as somebody found a way to integrate the dated and rustic concrete building which was likely a auto garage or something back in the day, with a sweet room modern vibe. The caterpillar roll looked like a damn caterpillar and the dynamite roll was the best I’ve had. I hope I’m not being dramatic. My sushi experiences range from Monterey, Seaside, Marin, SF, Santa Cruz, and Portland. Never been to Japan but after this sushi I ran home and started to research trips to Japan as I...
Read moreI found this little sushi place as I do most of the places I eat at, walking to the movie theater. I love the dimly lit atmosphere. They might have just opened because it was very quiet in there and only 1 or 2 other people. The staff was very attentive and friendly.

I will return to try more...
Read moreHours are misleading, you CANNOT dine in during their earlier hours, and I saw ZERO warning of that before walking there for lunch.
I posted the above on Yelp because it's all true. Owner responded suggesting I wasn't paying attention, even though you can see both on here and Yelp that it isn't clear at all, and when I pointed that out the owner doubled down, said I've never been there, and told me I wasn't a real person. You can see it all on Yelp. I won't come here for the owner, but regardless what you think of the exchange I had with them it's just a fact that you can't go to dine in during their lunch hours despite what the listed business hours suggest. Also the owner needs to learn professionalism. Take your...
