Favorite sushi spot , great service, great food. I love the hamachi with jalapeños and the albacore with crunchy onion.

If this restaurant were personified, I would greet them by saying "Wazaaaa, b?!" And then we'd laugh and they'd offer me great quality sushi at some of the most reasonable prices. The sushi(s?) in question being the BSC and the Nemo roll, with the Nemo Roll being a recommendation by one of the servers. Both dishes, along with the calamari tempura, were a hit! What made it better was the no wait time- on a Saturday evening, no less- and the quick and friendly service. Which was surprising because the restaurant itself is pretty small and may feel a little cramped for some people, but maybe I came at a good time. Thanks again, b! Highly recommend!

Live about 5 mins away and haven't been happy with the restaurants in or around Orange Circle. They're cute but all pretty mediocre in terms of food taste. That's why the hubby and I have been wanting to come here to check it out. Came here on a rainy Saturday evening at around 6 pm. There was a line so we put our name down for a party of 2. They said wait time was around 30 minutes but it was about 15 to 20 mins. So not bad. We got seated at the bar and our waitress was really nice. Service is great here. Everyone is very friendly and good about clearing empty plates. We ordered: 3.5 out of 5. Hamachi with jalapeño. We were going to order yellowtail carpaccio but the waitress recommended the hamachi. It was decent. It was fresh but no flavor to the jalapeño. 4 out of 5. Bluefin toro with fresh wasabi (2 pieces). Delicious. Recommend this. 3 out of 5. Slot Machine sushi roll. This was my least favorite because there was a lot of cream cheese and rice with little fish. I would pass on this. 3 out of 5. Baked Salmon Roll. It is what it is. 4 out of 5. Awesome Roll sushi roll. This was my favorite, flavor-wise, out of everything we ate. The fish, rice, avocado ratio was proportionate. I really liked the tang sauce it came in/with. The only bad part was it fell apart when I picked it up. Overall, the place was decent. Have I had better sushi...YES! Again, service was really good.

Came here for lunch. The place was fairly busy but we were lucky to be seated right away. The place is cozy and clean, and the staff is friendly. We ordered thai teas to drink. For starters, we opted for the gyoza and seaweed salad. For our mains, we ordered the B.L.C and B.S.C. Thai Tea- Served ice cold. It was sweet and refreshing, with a rich tea flavor and a creamy finish. Gyoza- Nice crispy exterior and packed with a juicy meat filling. A great way to enhance our appetites before indulging in the mains. Seaweed Salad- This was a perfect blend of sweet, savory, and tangy. The seaweed has a crunchy texture and a refreshing finish. Perfect for a palate cleanser! The serving was also hefty. B.L.C.- I am a huge fan of langostino and it's not always offered on sushi menus so this was perfect. Rice was perfectly cooked and tender and the filling was generous. B.S.C.- This is a go to dish for me! The scallops were tender and cooked to perfection. It was loaded generously on the rolls and finished with a sweet and savory sauce. Great meal overall! Will definitely come back.

Came here Tuesday night and got seated right away but still pretty busy. Hamachi Sashimi A bomb of mouthwatering flavor, but I thought the slices were a little on the thin side. You can select either 2 or 6 pieces. Salmon Skin Hand Roll I loved this one - stuffed with cucumber, sprouts, bonito flakes and shreds of salmon skin - I could snack on these forever. A bit hard to eat, but I don't mind pickup up the fallen flakes of skin. Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna With eel sauce, spicy mayo, masago and green onion. It's a mouthful - bottomed with perfectly seared rice and topped with a huge dollop of spicy tuna. They pair together so well - in both flavor and textures. Cucumber Salad Not my favorite - a little too sweet and sour for me... I guess I'm used to cold and spicy. The super thin cuts are delicate to handle, but there's a lot of slices, so you end up picking up a bunch at a time. Spider Roll Big roll - with a lot of action in the middle... careful not to spill the accompanying ponzu sauce like I did. Despite getting drenched, the flavors and freshness were evident. That's all...

Everything tastes fresh and well balanced. The lunch special offers great value and nice portion. The salmon was a bit chewy instead of tender, but not fishy at all.

The fish quality here is inconsistent. Sometimes it's good and fresh fish quality but other times it tastes kind of fishy and has an ocean taste. I usually Go for nigiri when I eat sushi so I can tell how good quality their fish can be because it's just fish and rice. If anything, the service here has always been consistently good. They're very attentive and they fill you water and clean up any dirty dishes off your table right away. One thing they do really well with is their vegetarian sushi. I'm in love with their vegetarian sushi. The shiitake mushroom one is amazing and so is their tofu dice and the new mr bean as well. If you have any plant based friends you gotta take them here for the vegetarian options!!!
