"**Restaurant Review Update (9/2/22):** What a disappointing turn of events. We ordered delivery and experienced something inexplicable—the food quality seems to have plummeted overnight. The menu has changed, and even the items that remain are entirely different. Check out my new photos. The seaweed salad was just a container of lettuce with a small amount of seaweed. The cucumber salad was similar, featuring plain cucumbers with an unusual ginger dressing. Next, the asparagus beef rolls were nearly raw, as you can see in the pictures. The sushi rice tasted off, which affected the overall flavor of the sushi. Now, here's the worst part: we ended up throwing the entire meal away because there was a bug in my Hawaiian roll, and it certainly didn’t appear to be a delicacy from Hawaii. I have to say, we won't be returning. We're all incredibly disappointed, as this was one of our favorite spots. **Update:** I guess I visit this place too often, as they recognized me from before. The service remains great, and the food is just as good. Prices have gone up, but that seems to be the case everywhere. This has become our new favorite sushi spot! The delivery time can be lengthy, so I suppose we're not the only ones who enjoy it. The tamago came presented like two hearts—very clever! Quality is excellent, and the prices are still reasonable. The Aloha and CA rolls are particularly tasty. I've only had takeout, so I can't comment on the dining experience inside the restaurant. **Final Update:** I stopped by for lunch during the week. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and it’s comfortable inside, with a few tables outside on the sidewalk. Service was good; it wasn’t busy when I visited, so the staff was attentive without being intrusive. And, of course, the food was terrific and beautifully presented."

"We are interested in healthy food without oil. We don't eat meat, dairy, fried food, or seafood. We asked Evan to fix us a special vegan roll, not sure if he was up to the challenge. Boy, did he impress! He made two rolls: one w slow cooked mushrooms (not pictured) and also nigiri w roasted yellow peppers (not pictured). It was outstanding! He also fixed us some tofu w scallions and a simple sauce which he and his wife enjoy at home. We also got some udon noodles and steamed vegetables which were outstanding.It was so good we were practically licking the plates!We heartily recommended them to our monthly WVegan Supper Club as our members are interested in heart healthy food.Such a lovely meal everything was so delicious! We will definitely be back!!! Vegetarian options: I didn't even look for vegan options. I simply described what we wanted (no oil/cholesterol being key) and asked Evan (the sushi chef) to see what he could do to make something tasty. We were not disappointed! He gave us two outstanding vegan rolls, a plate of tofu with scallions and Dashi, and we also had a plate of steamed vegetables and a side of udon which we seasoned with fresh lemon slices and a bit of soy sauce. Dietary restrictions: We eat a WFPBNO for cardiovascular health. The chef was easily able to make several dishes without oil or fried food, meat or dairy, and they were still very flavorful and delicious. So good, we were simply astonished. Most people don't know how to make tasty food under those conditions."
