Reviews
Starting out strong, the ambiance is very very cute. This restaurant is tucked away but it has its own parking. We weren't really sure about it initially since it only has 3 stars but man were we glad we gave them a chance! We ordered 3 fusion rolls, 1 tempura roll, and 2 special rolls 1 fried and topped with torched salmon covered in crunchies and another fresh roll with hamachi in them. We thought we did pretty good! The 2 fried rolls were amazing, smooth slightly charred salmon complimenting the crunchy tempura. The hamachi roll was very fresh tasting with a hint of lime. So it really balances our the heavy fried rolls. Service was pretty fast and our waitress was very nice. They have a robot waitress that delivers your plates and my friend was super stoked to see it. It is pretty cool! Their silverware is also adorable with cat soy sauce container and a sakura flower sauce bowl. Highly recommend checking them out and help them get their ratings up.l
The ambiance is a mix of modern and zen into the place 10/10. The service was on point 10/10. The food and drinks were delicious. The Blue lemonade was super sweet. Queen scallops is buttery and melts into your mouth. Hama tama was extraordinary that we ordered it twice. It's also 10/10. I'm looking forward of coming back again.
First visit (seated) was 3 stars - the robots are fun but a little awkward. Ordered a bento box and two rolls (heaven + another I forgot the name of). Sushi felt unremarkable and not worth the price but the bento box was 5 star worthy. Eel was grilled, supple, and the sauce wasn't too sweet. Second visit (to go) - 4 stars. Fun sushi, reasonable pricing, some of the sushi was softer/didn't hold shape, but that's possibly user error because it was picked up late. Ordered the dragon roll, red dragon, heaven, crunchy spicy tuna, and queen scallop. Rated in order of deliciousness: crunchy spicy tuna (worth the money), dragon (the eel! do it for the eel!) red dragon (amazing), queen scallop (the cheeseburger of sushi rolls), heaven (not worth it). Would definitely recommend making a visit! Total was ~$95 for 5 rolls which is significantly cheaper than other spots in Palo Alto.
This place was DELICIOUS! It was well-priced, super delicious, and the service was quick and efficient. The tables were also spaced out really well, so it didn't feel crowded. I loved the ambience of the space and would definitely come back here for my sushi fix There's also a cute little robot that delivers your food, and I loved how our server brought out extra ginger for the table.
A great neighborhood sushi spot! If you want great sushi you can't go wrong here. We are a family of four (one of which is a teenage boy, who loves sushi) and this place has an option for your sushi dreams! There is an option for sushi for 4. It comes with appetizers , soup, sushi rolls, sashimi, and it is the best deal in the bay.
