"Numerous tables and a few seats at the sushi bar greets guests to this restaurant. We had a guest who was visiting from Japan and he wanted to take us to a Sushi Dinner. He also wanted to sit at the bar, which is L-shaped. It could probably accommodate two people on the short leg and maybe four on the long leg. We were three so we took over the long leg. In order to avoid getting overly detailed, I will say that in general, the sashimi and nigiri that we ordered was okay. This was not our first experience to a Sushi-ya and we've also sat at the bar numerous times. Besides being able to watch your dinner being prepared, you can often converse with the chef's while they work. Our chefs were in constant motion, even when there were no orders coming in, but conversation was minimal, and they didn't speak Japanese so that eliminated any chance of conversation between our guest and staff. I even had our server send a beer to the chefs to see if that would create more noise, but no. The rice used in the sushi seemed to have two problems. One was that it was not a short-grained rice. Closer to medium or long grain. This changes the mouthfeel as the texture is different. The second issue is that the seasoning blend was too vinegary. That will also affect the texture. Short grain rice is also a little stickier so the rice holds together better. The fish had good flavor and that kept the meal on point. While this was not the best Japanese food that I've had, I would return as a guest of someone else if this is where they wanted to go."

The owners and staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is equally amazing. My favorite dish is the Mango Tango Roll, but honestly, everything is delicious!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The sukiyaki was superb, featuring perfectly cooked glass noodles and a delicious sauce that brought back nostalgic memories. It was truly delicious. The agedashi tofu was also excellent. I would rate it a perfect 10 out of 10!

Wow! I typically avoid sushi rolls due to the excess rice, but this time I decided to give them a try and was pleasantly surprised! There was just a light layer of rice, allowing me to truly enjoy the flavors of the lobster salad and salmon avocado in the roll. I didn't feel bloated afterward, either. We also adored the salad! Overall, I would rate the food a 5, the service a 5, and the atmosphere a 5! View menu

The food was decent, similar to what I've experienced at other restaurants, but their agedashi tofu truly stands out as my favorite dish here. It's perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This place definitely satisfied our cravings for sushi and side dishes. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating; even though we stayed past closing time, they didn't rush us out. The restaurant was clean, and they kept the doors open for fresh air. It's a great neighborhood gem!

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, and I finally got the chance. The place was nice, clean, and had plenty of parking. Unfortunately, the food was underwhelming. The chicken karaage was hot but not crispy and lacked flavor. My wife ordered the mango roll, which was tasty, but my toro roll took forever to arrive. When it finally did, it was chopped toro and almost frozen, resembling a slushy. Given that this roll was one of the more expensive options on the menu, it did not live up to its price. I wouldn't order it again. Additionally, later that evening, I felt excessively thirsty, almost as if I had consumed a lot of MSG.
