    Love a place where you remove your shoes at the door and sit on the floor. Definite two thumbs up.

    Better for dinner than for lunch. Definitely get a reservation if its a Friday or Saturday night. Ginja Roll and Salmon on Crispy Rice are choice. Also their Gekkeikan Hot Sake is the best.

    The fish is sooo fresh! One of the best sushi places, so authentic and so unassuming. Salmon blue crab rolls, sunshine rolls and spicy tuna are the must haves!

    The seating arrangements were admittedly cool and different, but we felt like the nagiri did not have particularly distinctive flavors. The yellowtail collar was excellent.

    Get the Salmon Blue Crab sashimi. It’s possibly the best item I’ve ever had at any sushi restaurant.

    Simply delicious! Chose the blue crab hand roll, spicy tuna with crispy rice, and the asparagus salad with ponzu sauce. Good night now! :)

    Food is always great, but now they play weird 50's Be-Bop music. In a Sushi House... Kills a great experience.

    Say hi to Ricki and Sarah for me. Order the red snapper sushi with shiso leaf, yuzo & sea salt. Don't dip it in anything, eat it straight. You will never have it that good anywhere else. Don't tell.

    Rolls are pretty large in size. The salmon crab roll is very rich.

    I’m sad to say this but at least on the delivery side there has been a quality drop off. I ordered an omakase sushi combo, it was soggy + uninspired. Not worth the extra money. I will try elsewhere.

    The sushi is very expensive but the quality of the fish DOES NOT merit the price. Pursue other options.

    For you non-fish eaters, the lunch box with beef terriaki and seasme chicken is the wat to go. Don't forget the Nigori Sake!

    If you've never tried Japanese Albacore, I highly recommend it. This is the only place in town I've found that has it.

    If you like albacore sashimi, be sure to get the Japanese albacore. It's raw... the other one is seared (yuck).
