Fantastic place! Seems like a nice little family joint, everyone was very friendly and it had a nice casual but refined atmosphere. Server was so so polite and patient when we took our time deciding, and the food was delicious! One of the best bowls of Miso Soup I've ever had. The Teriyaki Salmon was to die for, the sushi was a little lacking in flavor but not bad by any means - and the fried rice was good too. It might seem a little pricey, but for the quality & decent size portions (it's not a take out joint so they're not massive, but still very respectable) it's a good deal!
We were celebrating a big milestone and I think the server overheard us talking about it, because she gave us complimentary banana wontons which were seriously good. I wish I'd caught her name because that was so sweet of her. I'd absolutely come back here again, it was wonderful :)
Though word to the wise, Google maps may direct you to in the back way off Miami Ave - but that's the wrong way if you need to park! If you come in from Venice Ave you can pull through to the lot and park in the slanted slots beside the building much easier - there seemed to be enough spots, but if you have trouble finding one there's street parking and a parking lot for other businesses around the corner you could...

Read moreThis was my first visit to Venice, and after reading reviews I was excited to try this place (even dragged my reluctant father-in-law who isn't into sushi along). First I want to say that the service was great- our waitress was fast, and friendly especially considering how many tables she had to juggle. I would have given a half star for service alone. What drags the score to a 3 is the price point, the quality of the sushi, and the state of their gyoza. (My 5 star comparison is Aka Sushi in Jackson, MI) The sushi was good, but very basic. While the flavor profiles were there, at the price point I would expect a little more flair. What really let this place down was the gyoza appetizer- soggy, falling apart, the seasoning was off, and the meat was dry. I do not hesitate to say that this was some of the worst gyoza I have ever eaten. There were 5, and we abandoned the last one to where it belongs, the garbage.
For reference, we had miso soup, the gyoza, the dyamite roll, the tempura roll with white tuna, and my FIL had the shrimp tempura entree. Totaling to $53 before tip. (At the end of it all, my FIL said he'd rather have straight Chinese sigh You win some,...
