Very slow service. If you are busy and backed up then stop taking online/mobile orders to take care of your dine-in patrons! Everyone in the restaurant was looking around trying to find a server or asking about where their food is..ours came an hour after waiting. Long line of mobile order pickups in the restaurant. Unacceptable.

Really good food and it is located in a very quiet place and very scenic. Would highly recommend this place and very family friendly.

Me and my family just came here and they were really nice they gave us so much free stuff like (chocolate-volcano rolles- orange slices- a pineapple drink- soup- and saled) and all was really good.

My family and I were in the area and decided to eat some Japanese food for lunch. They have pretty decent priced lunch. The portions were small for the lunch special. If you’re hungry I would suggest get the bigger portion. The server was nice and super quick with servicing our drinks and meal. I would most definitely come back for dinner time.

...Sakura Shore Drive! Best take out in the 757!Hibachi Filet & Shrimp w/Steamed Rice.House fried Rice w/Shrimp, Beef, & Chicken.Starter...fried White Fish....and you can’t forget the Shrimp Tempura Roll! Enjoy!

Shore Drive location I would have recommended this place but the service was terrible. Waitress did not want to serve us based off her attitude when we asked about their menu items. Her response was "I don't know... do you want it?" The food however was ok but we would have been better off going to sushi king.

Ain’t what it used to be. This restaurant has been one of my favorites for many years. But something has changed. Food wasn’t good this visit. And the service wasn’t good. I won’t be going back unfortunately.

Very good sushi and atmosphere!

Got sushi take out from here. Got the sushi deluxe, spicy tuna roll, and agadashi tofu/age tofu. For a sushi fix, the “sushi regular” or “sushi delux” is an excellent value to cure your craving. Good variety, and good slices of fish on the sushi pieces, not real thin or skimpy like from a buffet, but nice pieces like you’d expect from upscale sushi dining. Everything tasted fresh and good. Really good assortment with the sushi deluxe, pretty much had all the items I wanted. And the spicy tuna roll was above average, great flavor, good ingredients. I honestly think the regular and deluxe combos are the best value for sushi lovers here, you could make an impressive party spread from 4 orders of the sushi deluxe(40pc + 4 rolls + 4 soups, for under 100) rather than doing a boat or the 49.95 combos. For a solo feast the sushi regular is probably enough, and a spicy roll by itself great lunch over McDonald’s. If picking up for coworkers could split a sushi deluxe between 3 people for $8 a person and would be a good meal at fast food price. I probably ordered more than I needed, everything you see here plus a $7 tip and tax was $50 flat, which is really good with the tuna and snapper and salmon included in the combo. If you order take out, they’ll have it ready immediately, almost as fast as a fast food order, so be ready to pick it up right when you order. Fast service, great quality, great variety, great value. Two thumbs up.

Very nice sushi. The atmosphere inside is very nice even though i didn’t sit down, I still felt something I can’t imagine explain it’s a very chill restaurant. Everyone was kinda and welcoming. A tad bit pricey but that’s not the topic here. I would recommend anyone to this spot especially if you have a date to bring.
