Great service and food were delicious. We ordered 3 combo bento with pork cutlet, karage, spicy tuna roll. Karage was very taste. We also ordered Tempura dish which came with 3 shrimp, mix vegetable and a mushroom. Street parking but easy to find during the off-season.

Eh. We went during happy hour, when the sushi was pretty cheap. That was pretty nice. That was the only positive from the evening. The sushi wasn't rolled very well. The texture could best be described as mushy. The seaweed also didn't completely wrap around the inside of the rolls, so they just disintegrated when you tried to pick them up. Service was slow and not very friendly. I get they were (sort of) busy but come on. The decor was pretty cool but not enough to save it. All in all, I might be back for happy hour if I'm looking for something inexpensive, but otherwise this is a pass for me.

The food was good overall. The sushi rolls that came with the dinner combo were smaller than the ones they make if ordered separately. I had the teriyaki chicken with vegetable roll and California roll. The miso soup was very good and the side salad that came with the dinner had a very tasty dressing.

We come for sushi here every year; and they haven’t let us down in eighteen years. The food is excellent and the service is great. We like to eat during happy hour between 4 and 6 because it’s a great deal. I highly recommend it.

Great atmosphere and attentive wait staff during a unexpected rush of patrons. The sushi rolls were extremely tasty, well presented, and exactly as described in the menu. Must try the Monkey Ball appetizer as that is truly unusual and a very delicious preparation of stuffed mushrooms. I always look forward to eating here during our, now annual, Seaside vacations. Update: another wonderful meal. two years since we were in Seaside, and this place never disappoints. Monkey Balls is the best appetizer. Also ordered the teriyaki takeaway for my folks, who absolutely loved it.

The atmosphere is great, and the food is tasty! The only complaint I had was that service was a bit hit and miss...we were one of only three tables, and while I got the impression she was trying to give space or something, I could have done with a couple check ins, if only for a top up on my soda. I got a Pink Lady Roll, which was amazing, and tried one of the specialty rolls, which was even more so. Seafood was fresh, rolls were tight, rice was sticky, just all around great rolls! Will def be going back! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

Pleasnt place. The food is of good quality, though not very detailed in terms of presentation. The server did not know what house Sake they had, or if they could heat from a bottle... overall not unpleasant from a tourist town with limited authentic Japanese options.

Cool venue and good food. Saw this place from the street and it attracted us. Seemed very expensive. We came in at 7:45 and it was maybe half full but every empty table was dirty. Took some time to be seated. We order a bunch of rolls all of which were good. Server said the chef made a “happy mistake” and added avocado to our roll but it was in fact a roll another table sent back (I saw them send it back).
Get the specialty rolls. The baked ones are amazing. Nice seating areas and friendly service. Salmon and chicken were good but I'd get 2 specialty rolls next time I'm on vacation here. Normal spicy tuna rolls were good too but get the specialty rolls!
Great atmosphere, delicious food, I can see why some people have rated this restaurant a little less than perfect. Some of the rolls did fall apart. The waiter we had was new, second day. I think once he gets the lay of the land, he will be an amazing waiter. The flavors of the food were incredible. Fish was fresh, flavors were quite good. I will say, I’m not sure that I received the roll I actually ordered, but I haven’t been there before. The wasabi paste didn’t seem as potent as it normally should be. Aside from all that, I would definitely eat at this place again! 8/10 Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20
