Sushi heaven. Intimate setting too, with fellow foodies. Be sure to check out all menus as it were. There was a standard; chalkboard style; and off piste smaller card with lovely offerings.

This mom & pop sushi shop serves surprisingly high-quality fish at very reasonable prices. Though with one chef it can be slow, for great cheap sushi it's worth it. Read more on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

One of the best sushi places I've ever tried. No mayo on the rolls, authentic flavors, small but well-thought-out menu. Only downside: rolls take 45 mins to come out...on a not-crowded night.

This is my favorite low-key sushi place in the city. Super nice owners, honest and hard working, with simple, good quality fish. Sea fairy roll is great.

Came here on a Sunday night and served by a single waitress and single chef. Felt like we were in the personal kitchen of a Japanese home, in a quaint, charming kind of way.

Sushi one of the best. Very fresh fish. Hidden gem. Mango & Salmon roll, exquisite!
Will CharczukMarch 27, 2015
The "assorted sushi" is the combo tray thing, it's good. They use a lot of wasabi on the sushi so brace yourself.
David SinesMarch 15, 2015
Even though there was a little bit of a wait, it was worth it - everything we ordered was delicious.

Oyyy my belly hurts after tasting all the food here. Absolutely beautiful. The guy behind the counter is a sushi magician.

Good simple sushi although portions are small than what you get in the South Bay. I'd explore other places

Come during lunch instead of dinner. It's a lot less packed and you won't have to wait as long for your sushi.
Yuri MorenoFebruary 19, 2017
Great assorted shushi. Worth the wait for sure! Try this place.

Cheap, high quality sushi! Be prepared to wait a bit, but it will be worth it.

Such a hidden gem! They offer brown rice and their fish is so fresh!

Great sushi place, very tiny and a one man operation. Recommended!
Jason LukJune 3, 2012
Order at least one or two nirgri to experience the freshness of the sashimi! (vs. just going with rolls)
Aaron PollockJuly 22, 2013
The sashimi was the freshest I've had in the city, definitely will return.
Cheryl MorelMay 18, 2013
Try one of the mango specials and the scallop is fantastic.
Lulu TangSeptember 27, 2017
Pretty decent sushi, with really great prices. The crab they use in their rolls is just okay.

Order the unagi at the end of your meal. Do it or regret it the rest of your life.

Had lots of nigiri. The fish is precut, left out to dry. The rice is unseasoned.

NidzusJuly 3, 2014
Just about average... Actually, the taste is totaly in line with the price. Cheapish and average.
