“ I've lived in Reno for a while now, and hands down this is one of my favorite sushi restaurants. The atmosphere when you walk in is awesome! Service is really good and the sushi is delicious! Freddy, Michelle and Brian all do an excellent job! Try this place out, you won't regret it. ”
“ Mar2024: Sushi was great, muscles were dry, ramen was 3/5 from what I heard. Although all you can eat menu was a bit confusing but they did the best they could with organization as they have tons of food to choose from; enjoyed all of their roles we ordered and presentation was top tier. They had one person working as a hostess and server she hustled and managed to handle all tables but that lacked the service quality. ”
“ Got the two roll deal for $19.99. Comes with appetizer and dessert. Very good ”
“ All in all I had a great experience. The sushi was outstanding and Fred knew just how to finish strong with the Alligator special in the end. 2 thumbs up from this guy and I will definitely be back. Thank you for the great, food, service, and experience. ”
“ I love this place. Best nigiri in town, good sized cuts of hamachi, and normal sized rice balls. none of that filling you up with rice here! Definitely recommend this place. And their rolls are great! AYCE is great here, they even allow modification requests (as long as they aren't ridiculous) when you order on all you csn eat. Ryan is, literally, the best sushi server I've ever had! ”
