John RamptonJune 19, 2012Great place to go for chill sushi. Best sushi around University. Fairly cheap compared to other sushi places. Give it a try.
Ben BurnettAugust 15, 2013Get 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 LewOctober 17, 2010Try 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.- There is always something great on the special list: blue fun toro, hamachi, etc
Shaun CramptonMarch 27, 2011The 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!
Jeff MalkowskiJune 20, 2012Volcano roll is kinda like Japanese Lasagna with strange cheese-like sauce on the top. Strange, but pretty good.
Sam HaemmerlingApril 25, 2016First time here was great. Wandering around looking for lunch found this place. The Sushi Lunch was killer.
Kat 🐱January 26, 2016Sashimi 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.
StephanyOctober 4, 2011Best sushi near University Ave. by a long mile. Make sure to ask what's on the board for the day. It's the freshest!- jane tApril 2, 2011Ask for a custom made handroll cucumber avocado and eel. The grilled Chilean sea bass is awesome.
Jonathan HsuNovember 13, 2012Kinda sketchy that they have chopsticks from another restaurant (and taped over them with their logo), but good food
Stephen LuoJuly 31, 2014Sushi can be better, the service can be better, somehow overpriced, good environment
Mike WinstonJune 18, 2014They 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.
Kul WadhwaApril 4, 2011I'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.
Raymond PeckMarch 22, 2018The quality of fish was just okay for the price, there's much better in the area.
Erika ConleyNovember 11, 2010Rude & 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!!

"The best sushi in the Bay Area. Period. Just ask the sushi chef to make you up whatever he wants. You won't be disappointed."

"Tonkatsu set tastes just like in Japan! Great pork texture and flavor, roasted sesame salad dressing a surprise plus! Also has warabimochi for dessert +++ 👌"
