Food portions are HUGE! Order accordingly. Food was delicious. I ordered sushi/sashimi and it was very fresh. My husband and son had katsu and they cleared their plates. We were asked if we were ready to order three times within 3 minutes. Once we were actually ready we tried waving down a server for 5-8 minutes as they zoomed past us repeatedly. Environment is beautiful. We will be back and we highly recommend.
We went to this restaurant with a coworker who usually goes to the place. They have designated menu options for lunch which is very convenient. The box lunch is fairly large and I'd recommend ordering it if you are hungry. The food is fresh and flavorful. My recommendation for the staff is to serve the table at the same time as some people in our table were halfway through lunch when others were just served. There's a surcharge for tables with more than 5 people. We also found the sushi pieces too large to be eaten in a single bite, this isn't much common
The sushi is delicious! Sometimes service is not very fast but you know everything is made fresh to order. Ambience is gorgeous. I recommend lunch special for sushi. Try the crazy boy roll- a little spicy, a little fried - and the rolls are huge!
Love their bento boxes! Lunch menu is 7 days a week. We visit at least once a month for lunch and it is always delicious. I also love the atmosphere and the cherry blossom trees inside, very fun.
This place is popular. If you're devoting for its unjustified popularity, you're not thinking straight. Nothing at this place is remotely at Japanese standard. All-You-Can-Eat down the street has better food than here.
The restaurant is located in a little neighborhood mall in Carrollton, next to a Mochinut (you've gotta try that). Parking in front of the restaurant is really tough on a Saturday night, so I'd suggest going early or just parking on the south side where there is a huge parking lot!We arrived pretty early - about 5:40 and were a little surprised to walk in and see a line of people right inside the doorway. No masks required and none worn, except by the staff. We were celebrating my sister's birthday. She and I ducked immediately back outside, since we still don't get out much. We donned our masks and went back in. Her daughter found out the wait was about 20 minutes and got a pager, so we went next door to check out the Mochinuts (see my review on this great place). We returned before the pager went off and only had to wait a minute or so for a booth towards the back. It was a tiny booth, enough for two people sitting right next to each other and one chair on the opposite side. I was glad it was on the end - no social-distancing going on in there.I eat sushi often enough to know I didn't want the usual, so I wanted to check out their menu selections. Our server came over quickly to get our drink orders, then came back twice more to see if we were ready to order. Since it was our 1st time, we needed a minute - I felt a little pressured.I ordered the miso soup ($1.70) for a starter. It arrived warm, not hot and was not as good as I was hoping. My sis & niece ordered the appetizer tempura. I had a bite to compare it to what I've had before - it wasn't bad but since it was fried, it should have been hotter-fresher. It included a huge broccoli (?) stalk, potato, squash & carrot.I ordered the oishi roll ($16.35) because I LOVE cucumber rolls (I tend to pick off most of my rice, so cucumber-wrapped rolls are such a nice change). They were large and quite stuffed, which made it difficult to pick up without the weight of the mixture in the middle falling out. I don't use chopsticks every day, so it was probably a user-error, lol.My niece ordered the crazy mom ($8.95) - it was basically just the rainbow deep-fried. I don't usually like the fried rolls but this one was pretty good. She ordered the rainbow roll ($15.35) for my sis, who didn't know what to order. Of course the dishes were all communal... so I tried a couple of pieces of the rainbow roll. I like to pick off the piece of fish & eat it by itself. The spicy tuna was fresh and tasty but the yellowtail, which isn't a particularly strong taste, tasted odd, due to the sauce that was drizzled over it. The pieces on the rainbow roll were huge - stuffed with crabmeat mixture (way too much cream cheese) and large size around, making it super hard to maneuver! I seriously need to get better with my stix! But honestly, I like a size that will easily fit in my mouth because when I have to bite into it, it always falls apart. No complaints about the size - more value for your money.The service was very good, given that every table was occupied and moving at a fast pace. My water was filled twice during our meal - part of what earned it the 5 stars. I'll def return for happy hour! Loved the beautiful decor - the trees made you feel like you were outside!Note - some of their prices have gone up from the online posted prices.
The rolls were MASSIVE! We had an hour wait before being seated but it was a Sunday night so understandable. Worth every second though. Definitely coming here again with friends it was so fun!
Here will be our new favorite sushi place.Nice decoration, fresh sashimi, really big rolls, service is just OK but I don't mind, since they are not rude so it's fine. We will come here more often because of their food.
Within 5 minutes of sitting down 4 different severs asked us if we were ready to order. We had already placed our order with the first one. Then once we got our food no one checked on us. We had to wave a server down whenever we wanted something. The rolls are big which may seem like a good thing but it’s because they’re stuffed and loaded with imitation crab which was GROSS and cold. Everything I ordered was supposed to be fried but it came with cold fake crab meat. When my appetizer came out I told a server I didn’t want the roll I ordered since it also had imitation crab in it. I asked a server to switch my appetizer out for another roll because I didn’t like that it had fake crab in it and she said she needed to go ask. She came back and said it’s their policy that if they didn’t mess up an order there’s nothing they can do about it. I don’t understand why the manager had to see what we looked like before they made that decision if that’s the standard policy. Horrible customer service.
I visited for lunch durring the week. This place was super busy. The staff was still very friendly.The restaurant is small but super cool with dim lighting and huge cherry blossom tree's inside, Very inviting and peaceful atmosphere.The sushi was pretty good and the rolls were massive. Not 5 star sushi good but it's not expensive by any means so for the price it's absolutely fine. The lunch special is priced just right. You get 3 large rolls for 13 bucks. Overall a great experience and I will return again for lunch.
