Review #001 2023I haven 't written a review in over 2 years and this experience was so terrible that I had to literally wait and compose myself, as I was afraid that I would say something that I might regret later.My ex brother in law reached out to me on Thursday, January 19th, because he wanted to treat my older brother and his family to sushi before they flew back home.It was a school night so I didn 't want to drive out too far so I decided to Yelp for a closer spot and this place popped up with 4 star rating, but I regretted not reading the reviews.We showed up around 6:30 PM and asked for a table for 8. We were seated about 10 minutes later. I should 've left, when I noticed how badly...

Hubby and I came in for lunch for the first time in a few years today, and it was BAD y'all. The place was super dirty!!! There was a loudly sticky floor in the front entry, and there was food all over the floor in the dining room....like, rice bits of food around literally every table in view. There is some sort of white, plastic siding on all of the walls that was covered in grime; it appeared to be a combination of sauces and potentially kids wet/sticky finger smudges? BLECH. Also, the random hip hop music was loud and distracting...no chill here. Lastly, the food preparation felt rushed lazy. The rolls were super loose, and we could smell the tuna before it even hit our table. In a weird...

My Fiancee and I lucked out something major this Vday with the trifecta, grandparents in town to watch the gremlin, then we called Izakaya and caught them early enough to mention there's 2 seats at the bar available if we come early, followed by what would become one of the best meals I have ever had. And I have had some darn good ones. I'm a real fat kid if you know what I mean. Traveling just means trying new foodz/restaurants as far as I am concerned. Anyway, the omakase here is not to be missed!! I sheepishly asked if we could get in on that action after we stole the last 2seats in the joint and while I sensed some reluctance the owner/master sushi chef embarked on the 2.5 hr journey wit...

To the owner, I would give this restaurant 3 stars. The food was good, but I am deducting 2 stars for cleanliness issues - there was food on the walls and floor, and the glassware was dirty. The place needs a thorough cleaning and is too dark inside. One star is for the lazy and annoying waitress who seemed more interested in her iPad and eating than serving us. She was unfriendly and appeared annoyed when we arrived. Despite enjoying the food, the poor service from the waitress would prevent me from returning or recommending the restaurant to others. It was not surprising to see the restaurant empty, given the service we received. I suggest addressing her behavior, as I suspect she may be y... Book a table now

We were lucky to even get a seat let alone get the Omakase ! If you have a chance I would very much recommend. This is the real deal! We came on Valentine's Day and there was magically two seats open at the bar. It was very busy and our meal ended up being at least 7 courses and 2 hours long. Come hungry and thirsty!

Sad to say, because back in the day this place was the best, and we were so lucky to have them! Not anymore ... horrible food, sub par service, not clean. It's as if they've given up.

The food at this restaurant is top-notch and the service is excellent. It is a family-owned business that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

From bad to worse. This place has gone downhill to the bottom of the sea. They try to get away with selling old half rotten product. Stay far away from this mirage. Book a table now

The Nigiri at this restaurant is absolutely fantastic, especially the BBQ eel which is the best sushi I have ever had.
