Arrive right at 11:45 when they open for lunch if you want a table and have no reservation . Bento box (rotates daily) and lunch prix fixe are great deals here!
Arrive early if you don't have a reservation , otherwise you might end up waiting LONG time. We didn't and had the most delish and fresh fish and an excellent service from the waitress . Loved it!
Excellent Japanese food . The sushi & sashimi very fresh and everything else good. Though service can be slow and off putting at times.
Their spider rolls , jalapeño yellowtail , corn tempura , agedashi tofu , spicy tuna rolls , and miso cod are fantastic! I've never been disappointed!
Sushi is excellent. So is the Soba . Great service. We come back regularly.
Prix fixe lunch is a decent deal... comes with a choice of salad , entree, miso soup , rice and dessert !
My new favorite sushi place. Try the fixed price menu--the black cod is fresh and delicious. Everything I've had here has been excellent.
The miso cod is amazing -- but be sure that's what you're ordering. They also have a deep-fried cod dish.
Loved this place. If you are going for lunch , make a reservation .
If you don't have a reservation on a weekday, you can usually get at the sushi bar pretty quickly for a small party
Very solid quality sushi . The Saba was straight out of Tokyo and the Uni was delicious.
Great original japanese sushi plus awesome lunch offer with miso soup and desert .
Lunch special ($16 for app, entree, small dessert ). Order the yellowtail jalapeño .
their signature miso cod is delicious. i sometimes ask for the rainbow roll with the inside substituted with spicy tuna
Sit at the bar with Neko, Ichiro or Masa. Buy them a glass of sake for special service and good times!
Great outside dining area in back
Ask for yaki udon . It rules!!!!!
Good sushi but no one is in charge of the floor. They gave our table away after 10 minutes. Get there on time!!
if you are looking for an authentic sushi , go there. I am talking to sushi lovers.
Omakase : amazing!
great sushi place that I need to go to more often
Besides their sushi/sashimi, everything else is just mediocre and overpriced. I really think their chirashi is the only item worth ordering!
The food is great, but the service is so bad. They are totally confused and things take a long time. It's weird. But it's still worth going.
Lunch special : soft shell crab and sushi .
This is the best miso cod I've ever had, even better than nobu!
Plain sushi was great.
Place is solid. Make reservations !
Compared to the place just across the street, this place deserves a michelin star .
Solid lunch deal here. Only slightly overpriced :/
Specialty rolls
Steve Jobs favorite japanese food .
Yellowtail with Jalapenos
Get there early or experience a fairly rude "last call for food" around 9:30. If they want fewer people eating after 9 I suggest they simply close earlier - not rush patrons. Won't go back.
Allegedly, Steve Jobs 's favorite sushi restaurant .
Sushi lunch & miso cod are authentic Tokyo fare. May need to go to Subway after. Won't fill you up.
tasty miso cod , you must try it for yourself, you won't regret it!
Apparently this was one of Steve Jobs ' favorite restaurants .
I read an article that Steve Jobs had been a patron.
one of steve jobs ' favourite restaurants
Best agedashi tofu I ever had
They "forgot" my rice and sashimi . Not coming back.
one of the best jap restaurant ever. black miso cod , sushis , soba .. :9 & the owner is superr nice! he gave me a free sushi haha! #jinshorocks
Nice new place with the option to order set meals or a la carte. They have a policy of no tipping! I was looking for a light meal and was not disappointed. Will definitely be back! - Christie Ma
duck was a little tough but the flavor was great, would definitely go again - Tim Deng
Excellent fish, fairly high-touch service at fairly high prices. It's not really a replacement for Homma's in any way, oh well. - Chris Kantarjiev
Very nice staff. The sweet plantains are good and they gave me a free beer because it was taking time to refill the tap. - Tom Maxwell
