"SO happy there is a sushi place so close by!! Seriously a wish come true. Reasonable prices, super friendly and attentive staff, and delicious sushi. We ordered the dinner combo (rainbow roll, dragon roll, chicken katsu) and a bay lobster roll. All very good and very big rolls and portions. No complaints. We are expecting to be frequent customers as this will be our new go-to sushi place!"

"Today was their soft opening and we had seen it prior so we decided to get lunch there. We've had a lot of sushi in the area and this new place is excellent. Their fish was fresh and their flavors were on point. The fried foods (gyoza, tempura combo, and calamari) were crisp but not greasy. The staff was super friendly (first day obviously), but the environment was very inviting. I hope this place stays here so we don't have to go so far for sushi every time. Very very tasty. Edit: Came back alone for dinner and the dinner combo was huge. Got the vegetable udon and a dragon roll. Was a lot for one person, but still excellent."

"- Location: is great right in the heart of the alum Rock business district. - Parking: limited parking space. - Service: good service. The owner themself has been spotted on the floor taking orders and being an active leader amongst the staff I applaud this behavior. - Price: avrage-below average. Affordable for a sushi restaurant but expensive compared to the Average in the area. - Atmosphere: is nice, a mix of cozy, classical, modern and the place is clean. - food diversity: This restaurant offers specialized rolls, hand rolls, nigiri, sashimi, bento boxes, teriyaki, and tempura. Beverages: sake, beer, soda, water, tea. ___ Food quality: (this is where my review gets more complicated) The raw fish is top quality. 5stars definitely will return again for their nigiri sashimi or simplified roles without sauces. However I have some minor complaints nothing world shattering but mostly due to my own personal taste I suppose. For example they're Lion King which at most other sushi restaurants across San Jose that I have been to is made with a spicy mayo, at this restaurant that is made with a plain house made mayo. Well it was creamy and delicious it locked the spicy punch of flavor that this roll is known for essentially it did not have its growl/claws as a lion. major complaint soy sauce. This restaurant only stocks low sodium soy sauce you cannot get regular soy sauce even if asked for and there's low sodium soy sauce even taste water down on top of its normally lacking flavor green cap. It's just not salty enough to compliment the fish and feels almost like you're partially pouring water onto your dish. Teriyaki. Extremely disappointing. Well the teriyaki sauce is thick. It is very flavorless. Matching the lack of salt lack of flavor and disappointment of their soy sauce. Well they may give you large portions if you are disappointed through the entire dish you might get full but you're going to be disappointed and your mouth is going to be left wanting. Tempura and tempura sauce. The batter and the sauce were excellent . The shrimp and the zucchini were perfect. however the carrot was sliced so thick and undercooked that it was raw and I was unable to bite through it. I also noticed at the time during their opening week numerous other individuals left part of their tempura uneaten when they finish their meal. The base of so many fancy roles is a California roll I found their California roll to be above average in quality very delicious and a item I will repeat in the future. The salad comes in the bento was still a bit damp from having been washed and the dressing was a little bit lackluster missing some amount of sesame flavor or something so it felt or tasted watered down on top of the fact that the lettuce was still a bit watery. The tea was good but served a pinch too hot if you're not careful you could burn yourself this I feel is not the fault of the restaurant so much as the precautionary warning to its customers. I like the way they present a giant water bottle so that you can refill your own cup. The boiled soybeans were fine but could have benefited from being sprinkled with a little bit of salt.... Like so many other restaurants do. - Conclusion Will I be returning in the future? Yes. But . . . I will likely be sticking to the nigiri sashimi and simple rolls without sauces. Bringing in my own regular soy sauce with normal amount of salt to a completely they're delicious and high quality raw fish, simplified rules without sauce such as the double hamachi roll for example and California rolls."

"Great new spot right in Alum Rock village, rice was cooked perfectly, great pricing and portions, Hamachi fresh and delicious. Can't wait to try it again with the whole family."
