“ If you live around Castro Valley, San Leandro, or Hayward and want a delicious Lion King roll, please come by here and try theirs. The best Ive had so far in my life. I also love their Truffle Blue fin roll, their ikura and Hotate Nigiri. Awesome price and fresh ingredients! TBH, its kinda like a hidden ! ”
“ Simply the best sushi around. Incredibly fresh fish, gorgeously prepared nigiri and if preferred, there are specialty rolls that hit just right. Weve been coming here for years and are so so thankful we have a high end, quality sushi spot here in CV! ”
“ The outdoor seating is really nice and away from the traffic. Almost all the sushi rolls have avocado but not too much. The nigiri was a little on the small side but provided a good burst of flavor. No other sides, which might be nice to have with the sushi butt thats ok. Would like to try the sashimi and see if it has crisp edges. ”
“ Best sushi in the Bay Area hands down. Dont let the little hole in the wall grocery store vibe fool you. ”
