“ As good as ever! Saturday night dinner and we enjoyed every bite of our salmon tempura bento box and ala carte rolls. Every course is fresh and tasty. The service is consistently friendly and quick with fast water and tea refills. ”

“ We arrived around 7:45 for dinner because we didn't know they closed at 8 pm on a Friday. Still, they were kind to seat us and had our order out pretty quickly. They brought us complimentary bowls of miso soup. We tried the pork gyoza, which was prepared perfectly with the right amount of crunch and chewy texture. I will say, I generally do not like to eat sushi, but the food was decent. I enjoyed the Louisiana roll and the greedy shrimp roll. ”

“ I get lunch here several times a year... so not exactly a regular, but I've been around enough to see the menu evolve and stay the same. It's a nice plaza-style restaurant. Yes, as others have pointed out, parking can be a little tight (it was worse pre-pandemic when the lot seemed to be under repair all the time). I am not a good judge of "authentic" or not... but it is certainly a little more classical in its approach. Yes, there are some non-standard dishes and rolls, but they aren't as crazy as new age stuff out there. We often get the bento box lunches, which is a fair amount of food... a soup, crab salad, entree, and a cali roll. I'm also a fan of the udon, which seems a little more no-frills. I can see service being a little inconsistent, but I've always been a little sympathetic since it's been very hard to fully staff up. ”

“ Haven't been here in a long time. This place is still good. The servers and the host are very attentive. There's lotz to choose from on the menu. We went during the week and it wasn't extremely busy. I wanted the sea bass teriyaki but they didn't have any. So I ordered the orange roughy teriyaki combo. It was delicious. Then my b4 ordered the sashimi dinner. We ordered extra pieces of salmon, tuna and uni sushi. They also had toro sushi which is fatty tuna. It was delicious. I'll ordered more of that. I never had uni before so I tried it. It wasn't for me. He loved it so he could eat mine anytime. It's far for us but we will come back when in the area. ”

“ I can't stop coming here. Maybe it is because I'm 8+ month pregnant and know that eating at a restaurant will be a luxury soon. My husband and I have been coming here 1/week for the last month or so. This business has been here for a very long time. My husband has eaten at this restaurant when he was in high school (10+ years ago). The same staff has been working for that long too. That says a lot about the business culture that the staff is loyal. I always order the tempura udon and California roll. I haven't had sushi due to being pregnant. For lunch, the tempura udon comes with a roll and it is $16.95. For dinner, the udon is $11.95 and the California roll is $5.00 so the same price. My husband always orders a bento box with either the chicken teriyaki or cutlet. For dinner, a big scoop of rice is what is the key differentiator between the lunch option. The dinner also doesn't come in a bento format and excludes the 4 piece California roll, 2 piece kimbap and cucumber salad. The chicken cutlet is always crunchy and the chicken is never dried out. Yum. I also LOVE the hot tea. It is a green tea that I've been trying to replicate at home but have not been successful. It is only $1 and always scalding hot so I put a few ice cubes in it before drinking. Highly recommend this place! ”

“ I grew up on Akai Hana, and when I come home to visit, I usually make it a point to stop by for their bento boxes. It gets tricky, as the hubs is not a fan of this place! I think you just need to know what to order - I used to stick with their chicken teriyaki bento box, but I've switched over to the salmon teriyaki - I request this to be well done, and, if I feel a bit more saucy, I do ask for extra teriyaki sauce to come with. The set comes with pickled ginger, a mound of wasabi, your choice of protein on top of a pile of shredded cabbage, 6 California rolls (which I find tasty!), and a cucumber/imitation crab salad. Coming here during lunch is so much better, as the bento boxes do not come with the nigiri (which I find their fish/sushi not so fresh), rice, or a scoop of ice cream. Hot green tea is not complimentary anymore! Service can be a hit-or-miss, as it can be a bit difficult to get your server to bring refills or the check. Plenty of (tight) parking in the plaza lot. +salmon teriyaki bento box +good California rolls +avoid the sushi/nigiri/sashimi +go for lunch! +parking in shared plaza lot ”

“ Very good service, decent sushi and handroll. My order was about $30-35.00 for the Chilean Sea Bass bento and a custom salmon Handroll. I had to take the Handroll home. First time I saw sushi bundled up in saran wrap. Nice ”
