Amazing Food, Great Portions!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I found the food to be absolutely amazing, flavorful, and fresh. The ingredients were of very good, high quality. I was also impressed with the great size portions. I ordered the Strawberry milk match and Tuna Sunset bowl to go. The restaurant has a small indoor eating area, with an outdoor seating option available as well.

Fresh Poke, Tiny Dining Area
This is a good place to order poke to take out because the dining area is tiny. However, the prices are reasonable and the fish very fresh and sweet tasting. The portions are also generous.

Fantastic Japanese with Spicy Tuna!
My experience at this wonderful neighborhood Japanese restaurant was great. The Sunset Tuna Poke was a standout, featuring both minced and cubed spicy tuna, farm-fresh greens, mango, and seaweed salad. It truly hit the spot for a delicious seafood fix. The Matcha drinks were also fantastic! The restaurant is a bit understaffed, with about seven two-tops inside and three outside. Ordering is done via an inside kiosk. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd definitely be a regular customer.

Mixed Feelings on Rolls and Bowls
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of positive and negative. I found the rolls to be yummy, and the fish tasted fresh. I particularly enjoyed the torched salmon for its good flavor. The packaging was excellent, and I appreciated the nice touches like the sealed brown bag, branded quality napkins, and bamboo chopsticks. However, the seasoning of the bowl did not work for me. It felt like there was too much vinegar, either in the sushi rice seasoning, the truffle in the dressing on the fish, or something else. This combination with the fatty salmon and bonito flakes ended up feeling like 'too much' and was a bit nauseating instead of indulgent. Next time, I would probably just get rolls or perhaps try the futomakis.

Amazing fresh sushi, beats NY standards!
My experience at this restaurant was amazing and the sushi was incredibly fresh. I used to frequent sushi places in NY, and I can confidently say this place beats it hands down. I can highly recommend it.

Great Food, Friendly Staff, Cozy Spot
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The place is small with limited indoor seating and a few outdoor seating options. Despite its size, the food looked and tasted good. The staff was friendly, and the food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. We were so hungry that we ate everything before remembering to take a picture!

Disappointed by Menu Change
My experience at this restaurant used to be fantastic. The sushi burrito wraps were so fire and worth the money. Unfortunately, they no longer offer them. Now, they only have 4 pc overpriced rolls that are lame as hell. This change has caused them to lose many customers, and it was once my favorite place before the change. I really wish it would come back! 🙁

Fresh Fish, Reasonable Price
My experience at this restaurant was great for a quick Japanese meal. The fish was very fresh and the price was reasonable. They have multiple small tables for dining in, but most people grab their food to go.

Great Sushi, But Pricey & Early Closing
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The sushi and poke were absolutely delicious and of high quality, earning a perfect food score. However, the prices have significantly increased, which was a notable drawback. Additionally, the lunch hours are problematic as they close at 2: 00 PM, which feels quite early. The service and atmosphere were rated as average (3 out of 5).
