Wowie! Had a fabulous meal here tonight (1/4/26). Thank you, Julio for the great service, and thank you Chef Byron for your excellent meal prep and vision! Julio checked in on us many times to assure things were fabulous (they were!) and Chef Byron was friendly and engaging.
I've had a catered meal outside the restaurant before, but tonight was my first in house dinner. It was delicious, and did not disappoint! Woohoo!
I showed up around 7:45p with a friend after a long day of exercise, and it sounds like we arrived just after the dinner rush. Lots of open seats at the sushi bar (and super cute couches with tables outside). We were surprised to learn about Sushi Sunday, which included killer deals on drinks ($5 beer/wine, as well as some other signature options for $7 and $10), as well as deals on lots of appetizers, hand rolls ($5), and desserts. We sat inside and the cool AC was perfect for us.
I tried 3 hand rolls: lobster, salmon, and truffle avocado. Each was prepared quickly and expertly by Chef Byron. My friend also tried the scallop hand roll. The nori (seaweed paper) was crispy and fresh, and all the ingredients were delicious.
We also tried the tuna crispy rice (slight variations in the size of each bite, but the flavor was spot on), a surf and turf roll (yummmmm), salmon sashimi, and the chocolate lava cake with caramel ice cream. The sashimi was cut beautifully and came with some greens and a tasty sesame and soy/yuzu sauce for a little flair. The cake was more cooked than lava, but it was rich and the perfect amount of sweetness that paired beautifully with a "Black Velvet" martini (their take on an espresso martini which had sake in it).
I am so happy to have found this neighborhood gem on West Ave, and will consider this a top spot!
I plan to go back, and you should too!!
