"TLDR: no quality sake, one of the better strip mall sushi places but not one I 'll go out of my way for, fish cuts were quality, staff was nice, chef was great, sushi rice was not soft enough, krab was odd. First off, do not expect any good sake here. They have sho chiku bai for their house hot sake (fine) at 6.95 for a small (ridiculous) and then two other low end cold sakes. I was expecting to find at least a handful of decent sake with the word sake being in the name of the place. staff was nice and attentive, though seemed apprehensive, like they weren 't sure what to do with customers (server brought me water after the meal). Place was generic Japanese restaurant theme. Nice enough. tables looked nice. sushi bar looked standard. Chef made good cuts on the fish, though thin portions. I did the lunch special of 1 California roll and 6 pieces of fish. Fish was all very mild and good temperature. Not out of this world but good enough for strip mall tuna. The California roll was odd. The krab was dense. The rice was also odd. Had a stiff texture. the whole roll felt unusually stiff to eat. Wasabi was somewhat punchy but still more mild than I prefer. Ginger was standard but not bad. The chef was the best part of the experience. He had skill and also made me a small sample of a tuna/salmon baked bite with eel sauce that was delightful. I 'm giving 4 stars because they seem like they are making a good effort and I feel they deserve business. I don 't live close by so it won 't be mine again though."
