Small neighborhood sushi place that hits the spot and doesn't drain the wallet. Sure the rice could use a bit of work but the fish is fresh and tasty, I can always get a table, and service is friendly. There's usually enough parking in the area so it is rarely a problem but you could also take the Muni and hike up the hill.
I've tried a variety of items here including the sushi combination and sashimi combination. They also have specials of the day that change with the season. The sashimi combination set comes with rice and miso soup and is good value for the amount of fish they include! Since the sushi selection changes with the season, it's hard to say what will be available but I've found that hamachi is always a good bet. I also like their gari-saba roll (Saba with sushi ginger) which is very refreshing and has a good texture to the sushi.
The rice they use is long grain rather than short grain sushi rice so it's a little underwhelming in that regard. Or they might mix in long grain as well to keep costs down. They also don't use fresh wasabi but I wouldn't expect that for the prices.
There is a decent selection of sake if that's your thing, and offer them in different sizes as well so you can consume as much or as little as you like.
There were many food options. I decided to go for the lunch special bento box. The food was fresh and delicious and light. I will be coming here again to try more things from the menu!
We visited Sunday evening around 6pm. Staff greeted us and sat us very quickly. We had the Sashimi and two rolls, the golden dragon roll and tempura rainbow roll. Everything was tasty & fresh! Can’t wait to come back and try more food.
