Luke Swartz - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2025-2-18

Very fast, friendly service and generous positions at this popular spot. Pretty good with dietary restrictions: most of the menu is gluten free (or can be adjusted to be GF), although celiacs should know that the fryer does have cross contamination so avoid the tempura, etc (personally I’d label that as “low gluten” but the staff seems knowledgeable so just be sure to communicate what kind of restrictions you have). The food was a bit more mixed: really nice appetizers (salads, Akira fries, etc) and the fish is pretty fresh (the hamachi was especially tasty), but despite the rolls being very large (seriously we probably could have had 1 per person) they seemed surprisingly lacking in flavor, almost bland. Also I liked my sashimi but it came with rice that was downright bad: stuck together and overcooked. I’m half Japanese so maybe I’m picky, but people forget that “sushi” refers to rice, not fish, so it’s disappointing when a sushi place gets rice wrong. Overall a good experience, albeit with some caveats.

All the rolls we ordered were amazing. Service was super friendly and atmosphere was vibey and fun.

Got the Bento Lunch Box. Described on the menu as Miso soup, salad, and rice with choice of protein. The salad was just a box of wilted lettuce. Very disappointing since the description on the menu of a salad includes beets, onions, mushrooms, cucumbers, broccoli, and avocado. Considering the price, I thought I'd be getting a decent amount of veggies in my lunch. Rather than a bento box, it's 3 separate containers. The salmon teriyaki is 2 servings, with just a loose teriyaki sauce poured over it and floating on the bottom of the box. Too much white rice is given. Would have traded some of those in for vegetables in the salad.
