    Ordered take out food was ready fast and right before closing. Had food here before but never came back until today. Food was better quality and tasty. We ordered the shrimp tempura roll, lion king roll, bento: beef teriyaki and tempura. Food was crunchy and fresh. Loved the salad dressing!

    Came here on a Sunday to waste time while we were waiting to sell our car. We originally were going to go eat vietnamese pho but saw that there was this sushi place in the same shopping plaza. We went to the restaurant thinking it was open since the door was fully open but the staff told us they were closed until 3pm but they could still seat us anyways and we could wait about 10 more minutes for them to be ready. They gave us menus and we took our time to see what they had. When all the staff came back in we were waited on by a nice waitress who took our order and came back with our drinks. We ordered the Damo specialty roll, char-siu ramen, beef udon, and a 3 item bento box. The ramen looked great and tasted good too but was on the small side with not too much noodles, the beef Udon was the same but it tasted good. The Damo specialty roll was in the skinny side like it was a bit anorexic but again, it tasted good. The 3 item bento box was good but the rice bowl serving was tiny as well as the California roll that it came with. The rice was also a bit hard like it hadn't been fluffed and they scooped the hard top or edge of the rice pot. Oh, I almost forgot that the Miso soup was awesome! It had a buttery taste to it, which was nice and unique! Overall the restaurant had great ambiance, very friendly staff, food was good and worth visiting again but the portions and proportion of the food was lacking. I left still hungry since i was the one that ordered the sushi roll... 😓🥹

    This location was already amazing a year ago, but they've revamped it! The dining area looks nice, and the food seems to have improved as well. Even the water tastes cleaner! Always excited when we choose this for date night

    I don't know what happened to this place like if they got new management or ownership or something, but the quality is just so bad now. The last time I ordered from here they never confirmed or started my order despite me ordering well in advance, so I ended up having to wait 30 minutes over my 20 minute lunch break just to get my food, and when I got back to work and went to eat it was the completely wrong order, and completely gross quality at that. I took a break from this place for a few months before trying again tonight, didn’t have to wait too long and actually got my order, but customer service was horrible when handing my order off to me, and the food was once again gross and just bad quality. I used to go here 1-2+ times a week and always loved it, so disappointed to lose such a beloved spot, but I’d rather save my money than eat this stuff ever again.

    We are avid sushi eaters an we like to pick a new place everytime. Staff were splendid and kind. The food was delicious and price wise we actually got more then the last place we ate that was more expensive an less food. We know sushi doesn’t always feel you up so we ordered a few things an shared with everyone at the the table. The spicy tuna was actually spicy. Whoot! No kids menu- no problem- 😉 chicken teriyaki, rice, udon, tempera, seaweed salad! The one Star removed is for the temperature an bathrooms. It was rather warm inside an the bathroom area smells which in an warmer environment penetrates the air. The roof is massively high. They need to spend some money an put in a fake ceiling an better air. Overall good place. Will be back if on this side of town. We are everything!
