"The tempura was spectacular, they used enoki mushrooms which was really unique ~ never seen that done before. Great lunch specials, yummy udon & good service / ambiance despite it being in a strip mall type thing."

"We ordered takeout online, service was good and food was ready on time. Food was tasty overall: 3 sushi rolls and the tempura combo. The basic California roll was better than the specialty rolls. Weird thing about the tempura combo- the menu stated 2 shrimp and vegetables, but 2 tempura pieces were unrecognizable as vegetables. They appeared to be fishcakes used in traditional Japanese oden but were undercooked and pretty inedible. It was an unpleasant surprise. You expect shrimp, green beans, kabocha, broccoli, etc. but not rubbery fishcakes. Not sure if we will come back... Edit: we haven't gone back. We tried Yoshio Sushi on San Pablo Ave which I would recommend instead- roughly the same price but better overall flavor/quality and better service/attention to detail. I appreciate the business responding to my review, but it sounds like a non-answer because we DID order takeout, not delivery."

"My 1st time here was an amazing experience. Awesome food, great atmosphere. My 2nd time here was mediocre at best. Food was still great. But, service was lacking. They didn't have hot green tea.... and they never brought me my miso soup.. But, I'll probably come again when passing through. And they automatically add an 18% service charge on all meals, not just large parties.... maybe I won't be coming back."

"The food is good, the place is small, but cozy, a little more customer service is needed. to give it A+ I would give it C, suggestion, they should leave the path free for people who use wheelchairs. It is not my case but I saw that some people could not pass and we had to get up so they could go to the bathroom."
