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!

@flakitavalente™ ????

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!

Lucille Fisher

Excellent Japanese food . The sushi & sashimi very fresh and everything else good. Though service can be slow and off putting at times.

Shireen Kaboli

Their spider rolls , jalapeño yellowtail , corn tempura , agedashi tofu , spicy tuna rolls , and miso cod are fantastic! I've never been disappointed!

James Landay

Sushi is excellent. So is the Soba . Great service. We come back regularly.

Alicia

Prix fixe lunch is a decent deal... comes with a choice of salad , entree, miso soup , rice and dessert !

Irene Au

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.

Jim R

The miso cod is amazing -- but be sure that's what you're ordering. They also have a deep-fried cod dish.

David Leeds

Loved this place. If you are going for lunch , make a reservation .

Kathryn H

If you don't have a reservation on a weekday, you can usually get at the sushi bar pretty quickly for a small party

Holger Lüdorf

Very solid quality sushi . The Saba was straight out of Tokyo and the Uni was delicious.

Frederik

Great original japanese sushi plus awesome lunch offer with miso soup and desert .

Runqiu Cai

Lunch special ($16 for app, entree, small dessert ). Order the yellowtail jalapeño .

Ashley Sung

their signature miso cod is delicious. i sometimes ask for the rainbow roll with the inside substituted with spicy tuna

Jonathan Ballon

Sit at the bar with Neko, Ichiro or Masa. Buy them a glass of sake for special service and good times!

Sarah Cornwell

Great outside dining area in back

Chris Monteiro

Ask for yaki udon . It rules!!!!!

Andre Leibovici

Good sushi but no one is in charge of the floor. They gave our table away after 10 minutes. Get there on time!!

Samba Sow

if you are looking for an authentic sushi , go there. I am talking to sushi lovers.

Chris Magpayo

Omakase : amazing!

Spencer Schoeben

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!

Björn Jeffery

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.

Jeff Weinstein

Lunch special : soft shell crab and sushi .

Christina Wodtke

This is the best miso cod I've ever had, even better than nobu!

Mateusz Amĸðcz

Plain sushi was great.

Jessica Chan

Place is solid. Make reservations !

onurco

Compared to the place just across the street, this place deserves a michelin star .

Hedan Zeng

Solid lunch deal here. Only slightly overpriced :/

Benni Prinz

Specialty rolls

Alexandre Ferreira

Steve Jobs favorite japanese food .

Sven Koerbitz

Yellowtail with Jalapenos

Matthew S

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.

Jorge Ortiz

Allegedly, Steve Jobs 's favorite sushi restaurant .

James H

Sushi lunch & miso cod are authentic Tokyo fare. May need to go to Subway after. Won't fill you up.

Yee Lee

tasty miso cod , you must try it for yourself, you won't regret it!

harryh

Apparently this was one of Steve Jobs ' favorite restaurants .

Hiroshi Koizumi

I read an article that Steve Jobs had been a patron.

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
