Shame I used to like this place but I ordered some nigiri and a roll for take away and had to throw most of it away because something didn’t taste right. It didn’t taste as fresh as my previous experiences.

Food is fresh and good. But the prices are way overpriced seriously! For a dragon roll it cost $15, for classic rolls $15-20 is way overpriced

I was very disappointed with the quality of the fish. I've had better at supermarkets. The menu looked great, and if the take-out sushi had been good, I was looking forward to the expensive tasting menu. I definitely won't be coming back though. The scallop was rubbery and didn't taste fresh. The Hamachi and white tuna were just slightly better.

Food was good. Portion size hasn't changed but the prices definitely has. I took pictures for the updated prices. $10 for imitation crab in small version of California rolls are a bit much... Sushi roll below was Brynne and Madison for $18. You are correct, I was not full and that price is what a regular price full meal would be elsewhere. It tasted good but sorry, will not frequent as often due to pricing.

I don’t believe in putting horrible review but this place is just bad. Went there ordered the lunch special which was overpriced but on the top- the salmon was bad, like didn’t taste good. I barely finished it and I have stomach issues since than. I eat a lot outside and I can tell from experience when fish isn’t good. The sushi was ok. Go find something else to eat.

My husband and I love coming here for the tasting menu experience, although we've also ordered off the menu before and enjoyed that as well.Most recently, we had their 10 course Elegance tasting menu, which was incredible. I really enjoyed the Danielle and the salmon tataki. My husband really liked the oysters and scallop. We also ordered a bottle of Born Hoshi sake to enjoy with our meal, which was really pleasant.Staffing was limited, so service was a little slow at the start, but the server was really friendly and helpful, and we weren't in a rush so it wasn't a problem for us.Overall cost of the meal is a little pricy, and I kind of wish that the size of the restaurant was a little bit bigger with the seating a little more spaced out (we were seated at the bar), but we still really enjoyed our meal and would continue to come back for a special treat.

Overpriced and food doesn't meet the expectations for the premium price ?

My husband ordered food here 2/18 8:30pm for pick up ( we ordered the maki sampler ) and it was the worst sushi we have ever tried. It was as if they let a 5 year old roll the sushi and the miso soup tasted very old. It was very unappetizing and I will not be recommending this place or coming back here. It was clear to me that the workers here did not even try here and for that reason I give 0 stars.

Great little sushi place. The ramen here is pretty good as well

Good quality. Prices are ridiculous. Idk why all CV Sushi charges twice the amount of every other bay Sushi restaurant.I'll never go back just cos of the price. The food itself is super delicious though.
