The Sea Bream Sashimi literally melts in your mouth. This is a fun place to go for girls night. Cocktails are great too!

The shishito peppers are excellent to start and the Katana roll is delicious. Everything is top quality.

Everything is amazing. When they have nodo guro, get some. Tonight I’m trying the Today’s Catch, sashimi.

Their Sunset Roll and Crunchy Spicy Tuna Rolls are amazing! Also you must try their Baked Crab Hand Roll.

Good, but not amazing, sushi. The Hitachino Nest White Ale is quite good.

Make sure to order Baked Crab Handrolls and Crispy Rice over Spicy Tuna...then prepare to wait...cause the service could be better.

If you like calamari give the grilled octopus a go!

They changed the menu about a year ago and since then I've been less of a fan, but either way their sushi is still good - just more expensive

Great lunch special is the donburi teriyaki bowl. Comes with miso soup and brocolli/cauliflower in the bowl
NicoleAugust 26, 2018
Calamari is yummy! Vibe is like the pirates of the Caribbean. Loud, smelly and dark.

talk about gone bad. Roku used to be quality, now it's all show. The fish was if very poor quality, so was the rice.. Service was great chefs (only one Japanese btw) were all very fast and friendly.
