Very authentic edomae sushi, tasted exactly same high quality as the sushi restaurant I loved in Asia. Rice and fish balances well. Highly recommended to make reservation at sushi bar ahead of time if you prefer to fully enjoy the sushi. Service is also very good and friendly.
Great food, great service, but be aware they use MSG in some of their food. I usually don't have a reaction to it, but this time came home felt really tired and was feeling very thirsty the whole day.
It was a very pleasant experience. Excellent service. Fresh and very well prepare dishes. Each dish is carefully prepared and presented. More than giving you a more detail description, I highly recomend you to try it.
The minute I was walking in to have dinner they forced me to spend $100 per person and specific number of tops, I never been there before and we had to leave the 6 of us and go somewhere else maybe easy when you eat sushi spend $100 but I don’t like this ignorant Chinese rules where they always ask you for money and they don’t care about you as customer, we should all not support business like that specifically when cross street they have the best sushi in town with highest quality…
Secret menu - hairy crab all the way. Friend recommended to check this place out and it's definitely a secret gem in the 626. Vibe is upscale sushi restaurant with Japanese speaking staff. First time seeing more Japanese folks than the typical 626 crowd which says a lot. Definitely request to hear about their secret/ off menu items which the hairy crab definitely worth the price and the crab brains. Great appetizer item while catching up with friends.Took one star off because I felt like the staff didn't want me to order the whole crab instead only half. Never thought I'd have to repeat myself multiple times to order an item. I understand they wanted to inform me of the price and do their due diligence in making sure we didn't order too much. It wasn't a great start to the dinner service feeling frustrated during the order process.
A worthy Japanese restaurant to have a try. Without going to little Tokyo in Downtown, you can taste the quality Japanese food in our little town, Arcadia.I have been eyeing this restaurant since it’s opened. It took over a noodle shop next to Chef Tony. The new modern look gives this restaurant an appealing attraction. Without going inside, I had already liked the restaurant.The food are excellent as well. You can have omakase at the counter($80 per person) or ala carte from the menu. During lunch, there are lunch sets available.We went for lunch during a weekday as we weren’t able to make a reservation for the weekends. We tried the ala carte menu. The sashimi were very fresh from the lunch combo we ordered. The tuna meats were tender and melt in your mouth. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked rendering juicy and tender meats. But they don’t provide teriyaki sauce as the authentic Japanese restaurants don’t rely on the sauces to make their food taste good.My wife loved their Chawanmushi ( Japanese egg custard). It’s so smooth. I tried to cook this dish at home and I am still having problem mastering the timing for a smooth egg custard.Overall, this Japanese restaurant is a fresh breath addition to the the Arcadia culinary scenes. Will definitely go back to try their nigiri sushi which many of our fellow Yelpers were raving about.
Quick SummaryFinally a solid, authentic Japanese restaurant in Arcadia. Came here for lunch and pretty good quality fish and sushi rice. They are a bit understaffed at the moment, but it's probably the best sushi restaurant in ArcadiaFood- 5 starsSashimi lunch- very solid fish quality. Portions are fair and all the appetizers were good (vegetables, tofu, and miso soup)Sushi lunch- solid fish quality. Sushi rice was delicious and everything was the perfect temperature.Deluxe sushi lunch- same as aboveService- 4 starsThe servers were good and approachable. However, they were a bit understaffed, which led to a wait to get into the restaurant (they had plenty of empty tables when it first opened, but not enough staff to manage all the tables), and also a longer wait to get our food. It's forgivable during these tough timesAmbiance- 5 starsVery modern and clean Japanese sushi restaurant. Everything looked newly renovated and it appears they spent a lot of resources on the renovationsBottom LineFinally a solid, authentic sushi restaurant in Arcadia. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and are craving sushi
First time there was for business dinner, didn't really get to enjoy the beautiful meal, this time we decided to go directly to the sushi bar and had omakase, we went as walk in on a Saturday, lucky enough to have hiro be our chef, definitely should make a reservation next time. Food was amazing, must go in the area.
Very high quality sushi. A wonderful experience! This place is a gem!
Love the decorations of this restaurant because it is modern. The food they are serving seemed to be authentic japanese food. They are fully staffed and servers are very welcoming. Service was fast!The food looks amazing as they are well decorated. We ordered New York steak sashimi dinner and salmon sashimi dinner. I requested to have a little more salad because I cannot eat rice. The server was super nice that she made this happened.The food was too salty in general. The pickled vegetable, salad, New York steak, and salmon. I drank a lot of water after my dinner. I might have to request for less salt next time when I come by.
