John Rampton

Great place to go for chill sushi . Best sushi around University . Fairly cheap compared to other sushi places. Give it a try.

Stephany

Best sushi near University Ave. by a long mile. Make sure to ask what's on the board for the day. It's the freshest!

Ben Burnett

Get the Omakase meal. It's the chefs special selections of the day. Always fresh, always a great exploration of amazing sushi that you would never get to try ordering on your own

Gilbert Lew

Try what is not on the menu such as Ocean Trout , Aji, Blue Fin toro , Yellow tail toro , Aoyagi, Shima aji and Hirame. Note the wasabi is freshly grated and the Ginger is fresh and not the jar variety.

Shaun Crampton

The chicken teriyaki small plate us the best I've had. Sauce was rich and tasty. Chicken was tender with tasty char lines . The udon was super thick and slurpy, mmm!

Sam Haemmerling

First time here was great. Wandering around looking for lunch found this place. The Sushi Lunch was killer.

Masha Ioveva

There is always something great on the special list: blue fun toro , hamachi , etc

Jeff Malkowski

Volcano roll is kinda like Japanese Lasagna with strange cheese-like sauce on the top. Strange, but pretty good.

Kat 🐱

Sashimi quality was good but the cut was way too thin. They aren't very generous about the portion. And the special rolls are just okay.

Kevin Burg

Try the bluefin sashimi if they have it.

Ask for a custom made handroll cucumber avocado and eel . The grilled Chilean sea bass is awesome.

Linda Hartsema

Pretty much everything is good here!

Stephen Luo

Sushi can be better, the service can be better, somehow overpriced, good environment

Jonathan Hsu

Kinda sketchy that they have chopsticks from another restaurant (and taped over them with their logo), but good food

I've been here several times and used to like this place but came here on my birthday and they weren't very nice (or helpful to disabled people) so I can't recommend this place anymore.

Mike Robbins

Great lunch specials

Raymond Peck

The quality of fish was just okay for the price, there's much better in the area.

Ben Lee

Chilean sea bass is delicious

My favorite sushi place downtown.

Salim Mitha

Substandard...not great

Mike Winston

They brought out a bowl of edamame I didn't order without asking and when the bill came I noticed a $4.50 charge for them. Ballsy move Kanpai.

Jon Merripen

Over on lytton, avoid the lunch rush

Ariane Lindblom

The Skipper Jack is awesome!

Joost Schreve

Lunch specials are great and affordable

Stefania Pomponi

Get the seafood pancake . It's yummy!

Greg Lee

Salmon Kama

Erika Conley

Rude & not kid friendly . They only have one high chair & I have twin toddlers...they wouldn't allow me to bring my stroller in the restaurant even though they only had 2 other customers. FAIL!!

Nina Duong

Simply mediocre.

Andrea Reyna

Terrible service. Mediocre, overpriced food. Never coming back.
