Ding experience was enjoyable. While the wait time was longer than I expected, I appreciated being able to watch the staff prepare the hand rolls right in front of me, which added to the overall freshness and appeal of the food. The prices seemed reasonable for the quality offered, and I found their sake to be quite enjoyable as well.

Such a great spot for hand rolls. Eat at the bar only and no reservations. It's a quick spot though so if you have to wait it won't be too long. Everything is fresh and reasonably priced. It's all bar seating so great for on your own or with a small group.

Tasty sushi roll bar. Not the best, but pretty good! The place gets busy on the weekends so get there early or you’ll be waiting for awhile

What a place located right on the water! If you love sushi and love hand rolls, this is the place for you! Not only is the food fast, fresh, and delicious… it is also very reasonably priced. You can get 6 hand rolls (which is a lot!) for less than $30! There is a no tip policy here and they will also validate your parking pass. The staff are all friendly and the lines usually go pretty fast to get a spot at the bar. I did learn that if you are gluten free, bring your own gluten free soy sauce!! I highly recommend going!

Long wait for 45 mins. Handrolls were worth the wait, but would prefer not to wait that long next time. Yellowtail, scallop, and crab were my favorite while my girlfriend liked the yellowtail, tuna, and lobster. Great atmosphere for a date. Low lights for a romantic setting with a good view of the marina. Staff were friendly and helpful. The soy sauce is already low sodium I was told. Reasonably priced for a trendy new sushi restaurant, but it's not filling if you want to eat a lot. Recommended for those who enjoy warm, fluffy, sweet rice and tasty raw seafood. Parking is free with validation and valet is not extra, surprisingly. The Italian restaurant next door also has a long line, so bring a warm jacket if you're going for dinner. Same owners as Sugarfish, so no tips needed. Maybe go when it's not too busy lol

Had two recent visits, one about a month ago on my birthday that was fantastic and then (because of our great experience) one today for Father's Day that was not good at all. First time everything was great - from the food to the service. Today was really quite bad - the wait time for each roll/course was long and my wife and I got rolls at completely different times, the single diners o or left and right were served and done way before we finished and finally missed one roll for me out of my 5 roll set. Really poor service, not very friendly and it seemed that between the 2 times we went it was down to the management team.

yummy hand rolls with fresh seafood. the view is also good as it's just close to marina del rey. The volume of rice is larger than I expected:)

Love this place for quick, tasty and fresh food. Obsessed with the crab rolls but all of them are good. They also don’t do tipping and always find a way to get you the best price for their combos even you you make changes and subs. Never had a bad time here. Don’t be put off if the line is around the building, it moves fast and it’s worth the wait.

Typical Kazu Nori with a nice waterfront location. Went on a Thursday evening - a long line, but at least you're next to the marina and have some nice scenery. Ordered the 4 roll combo and added an extra crab roll. Was good times as usual - similar to its Sugarfish relative. Would come back again.

Came here on a Wednesday around 12:30pm no wait to be seated. Parking in lot but gets validated in restaurant once done. All one bar table so will be next to strangers. Only take physical card no digital wallet fyi. Ordered the 5 piece hand roll. All were good the lobster and crab kinda tasted the same. But the scallop one was sooo good! The rice was warm and good texture. I thought I wasn't gonna get full but I did! All in all good for a one time try.

The freshest hand rolls EVER! And you can tell because they make them right in front of you. I love the vibe of this place because it's such good, high quality food, but a more casual environment with literally the best service. Oh and this location looks out at the marina so that's not too bad either. My go-to is the set menus, specifically the six roll one that comes with Toro, Yellowtail, Salmon, Bay Scallop, Crab, and Lobster. Every single one is a hit but my top three are Yellowtail, Salmon, and Lobster. Those are the non-negotiables! The fish is fresh and cold, the rice is warm, and the seaweed is still perfectly crisp. It's a perfect bite every time. Pro tip: if you order takeout or delivery, they'll make everything in cut rolls, which are equally as delicious but better for eating at home.

Very good if you have ever been to Sugarfish and thought "I just want the Hand rolls this is the spot. Truly good hand rolls at a great price. They also are incredibly filling. I managed to handle 6 hand rolls. I have previously had this to go and I have to say it is far better to eat it at the bar. That being said while this is good bang for your buck don't expect perfection. There was some lobster shells in my hand roll the manager quickly handled it and gave me a replacement hand roll. All in all a great experience and worth the price.

A must stop staple during LA trips. The hand rolls are affordable, fresh, and delicious! Be prepare to wait, there's typically a line out the door (but don't worry, it goes fast). Tip: When in a rush to make a flight at LAX (about 20mins drive time), you can order to go. I usually grab 16 pieces and another roll of 8 pieces to satisfy the sushi craving. After ordering, the order is usually ready in 15 minutes.

This was our first time visiting this location, and it was just as good as the KazuNori in DTLA that we've enjoyed before. A heads-up: if you're ordering takeout, they only offer cut rolls. We were seated right away since we arrived when it opened, we opted to dine in since we were just looking for a quick bite. I've always appreciated the warm rice and crisp seaweed in their hand rolls. I ordered three: salmon, scallop, and blue crab. The blue crab has the most mayo, so it's best to eat that one right away before the seaweed softens. One minor quirk across KazuNori and Sugarfish locations is how strictly they manage sauces. They'll provide soy sauce, but won't offer ponzu, even though it's typically paired with tuna or salmon sashimi. In the past, we've ordered sashimi just to get the ponzu, and made sure not to let them clear the sauce dish. Gotta get creative sometimes!

We finally got to try KazuNori. The lines are long, but 2:30 seems like a lull in the action. The location by the water, validated parking and cool, casual ambiance get high marks. The chefs and servers are all very kind and helpful. The prices are super reasonable and service is included, so no tipping is necessary. I am clearly in the minority here, but I did not like the hand rolls. The seaweed was nice and crisp. The size was larger than at a similar restaurant in Austin. However, the food is extremely salty even before soy sauce. The rice overpowering and is not the best in seasoning or texture. The fish is all of the chopped and mashed in mayonnaise variety such that everything tasted rather similar. Again, others said it was worth the wait and enjoyed their meals. It's just not to my liking.

Yum! We came on a Saturday at 6PM and luckily only had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. The staff were very friendly and the prices were fair. The menu was straightforward and it looks like most of the patrons already knew what they wanted the moment they sat down. Once the sun set and it was dark, it was pretty hard to see in the restaurant because they had very dim lighting. Something to keep in mind if you have a hard time seeing in low lighting!

I'll just start out by saying that I'm typically not a fan of handrolls, but KazuNori has converted me. My friends and I were visiting from Houston and Seattle, and we were antincipating eating at this restaurant all weekend during our vist. There seems to be a line out the door most of the time, but it moves realatively quicky - don't let it discourage you... it's 100% worth the wait. There's a set menu with combo options, A La Carte, and Daily specials are also availible. I went with the 5 handroll set combo and 1 Ko Ika Hand Roll. Towards the end of the meal I got super full and started to take out some rice from my hand rolls. I'd reccomend starting off with 4-5 rolls and adding more if you're still hungry. My favorite handrolls had to be The Bay Scallop, Yellow Tail, and Ko Ika. The Ko Ika really stood out to me bc it was spicy and has shiso leaves making it light and refreshing. Every roll was simply crispy on the outside, warm rice on the inside, and tasted so fresh!! None of them dissapointed. The price point also makes this place all-the-better. It's super afforadable, no tipping, for a high-quality experience. The service is quick - turn and burn. Servers are friendly and food comes out at a great pace. Expect to sit side-by-side with other's since seating is limited to the long bar. The ambiance is friendly and casual, but may not be the best for large groups. Overall, Great option for handrolls.

I love this place, the prices are fair and they give you a small taste of luxury dining but with a quick service system. The options are good, I got to try some different stuff than I'm used to. I have been to one of these concepts before, I understand this one says it is the original. It's not my top choice in terms of a hand roll bar, but I enjoy hand roll bars so much I have little complaints. The line was my only complaint, it would be nice if we could be offered water or something to make the line more tolerable. We had just come back from the Getty and were so thirsty! The hour wait was tough.

Came at opening on a Sunday and it filled pretty quickly. No better deal for hand rolls - I have to come every time I come to LA. The rolls are simple and delicious with warm rice and six roll deal is very filling. It's a very relaxed and quick meal - great time!

4/5 - 5 hand rolls. All of the hand rolls were amazing. Good balance of flavor and quality. 2/5 - The toro sashimi was very fatty, but the taste wasn't strong. I'd pass on this. The service was great, and the workers are happy to help answer questions. The ambiance was pretty nice, with dimmed light and bar seating next to strangers. The wait was around 45 minutes on a Tuesday.

Nice and tasty roll menu. You've got choices. Depending on the time of day, parking can be tricky. Small place, be ready to be on a queue but the line moves.

Super fresh and yummy hand rolls! Many to choose from! You will be full, especially if you get 6 + rolls. We got 4 rolls each plus a beer and a one cup sake. It was such a cute spot and great service from the Lola and the hand rolling women who kept them coming! The sitting situation was a unique experience and we thought it would be a bit of a wait but we were seated within 15 mins of arriving. Definitely can't wait to return and try the albacoreeeee!

This is a very popular place for intimate gatherings due to its scenic location and counter-style dining experience, and the prices are reasonable - so be ready to wait since they don't take reservations. We arrived around 7pm on a Saturday and waited about 1 hour to be seated, but service is fairly quick, paced out over about 30 minutes as your hand rolls are served one by one. The Nozie and 6-piece set menu both come with 6 hand rolls and are only $1 apart, but the Nozie comes with a couple more premium fillings. I opted for the 6-piece set because I wanted to substitute the lobster for the sea bream out of personal preference. This was my first time having hand rolls like this, other than the typical temaki finisher at the end of an omakase. With that image in mind, the basics lived up to my standard: the sushi rice was delicately seasoned and not too sweet, and the seaweed was fragrant and crisp. I think the best part about KazuNori's rolls are that the cylindrical shape helps even out the ratio so that each bite has a proportional amount of filling and rice compared to the cone-shaped temaki counterpart. That being said, the cons outweighed the pros for me. While I enjoyed the seaweed, it overpowered all of the fillings except for the crab. I understand the finely chopped texture helps make it easier to eat, but I missed the satisfaction of varying textures of fish, and I felt like the lack of distinctive textures also contributed to the blandness of the rolls. The visual impact was also diminished by this factor in my opinion. Lastly, sushi rice should generally not be served warm, but chances are that you'll be hungry after waiting so long that you won't care about this minor detail. Overall, my impression of this restaurant is 3.5 - worth a try for the novelty and reasonable bang for buck - but rounding down to 3 due to slight overhype.

Ok I was on a serious mission! Flew home from Detroit (where I live now) into LAX and had a hankering for sushi in the air. I ordered the lobster split and crab! Service was great and they validated! Ambiance reminded me of the NYC location and there was a line.

I can't have a visit to LA without going to Kazunori. I can always trust it to be consistently delicious. Fresh handed to you hand rolls with warm sushi rice and yumm fish. Always expect a wait at this location, I went at 4pm and there was still a line.

Yes, I finally went back to the place and everything was great as always. Last time, I didn't have a good experience with the servers but the staffs tonight is amazing. The owner (I believe) Cherrie reached out to me immediately last time and offered me 2 hand rolls to compensate for my experience and asked me come back to give it another try. I came at 9:30 on a Thursday, no line, immediate seating. I was greeted nicely from the front to when I was served. Manager Scott, the chef and my server were really kind and patient explaining my menu and refilling my ginger and hand rolls quickly. Overall, this place gains my 5 stars solid and hands off to the exceptional customer service. Trust me, I'm also in F&B and I know an ethical place and good place by looking at how their employees are treated and how they treat their guest. Will definitely come back next time.

Been here at least 2 dozen times, and had my first hand roll bar experience here. Every time I leave, thinking about the next experience already. Surrrre there may be a long line on any given day and at any given time, but once you get the craving, it's impossible to deny. Plus once you get seated, food comes quickly! I'll usually go for 4 or 5 hand rolls, and sometimes a Sapporo - will add sake if feeling extra feisty. The pre defined sets or custom are equally great options, depending what you're feeling. The sashimi is good if you're in the mood for it, but usually stick to the hand rolls. Yellowtail and bay scallop are my top favorites. The yellowtail freshness plus the green onion accent is *chef's kiss*. The bay scallops creaminess also sets it apart from the others. Lobster, crab salmon, eel, albacore are fine additions as well. Compared to other hand roll places, the seaweed is crisper and the rice is warmer, which makes all the difference. It being a no tipping establishment also helps make the prices easier to understand. Low overhead operating costs + deliciously simple product = happy diners.

Super efficient and fresh handroll spot! I've been to a couple different KazuNoris in my life and this one maintains the same high quality and efficient service. The Marina Del Rey location is located by the water, but you won't really be enjoying the view as all guests are facing the sushi bar. It is, however, a new spot with somewhat easy parking. Food is reasonably priced with sushi chefs making the handrolls as you inhale them. The nori is crispy, rice is warm, and the seafood is always fresh. There's not too much variety, as they try and get people in and out as fast as possible. It's the sister restaurant of Sugarfish, so you can get kind of the idea of what it's like. Not good for groups or kids, but nice casual date spot. Highly Recommend.

Kazunori is always a 10/10 in my books. I do the 5 hand roll set and swap out the crab for salmon. My favorites are the scallop and the lobster, but they're all so good. Highly recommend getting the albacore sashimi if it's not sold out- the sauce is amazing. The line looks long but moves quickly, and they're very efficient at getting people sat. They always give me extra ginger which I love!

What else is there to say? It's KazuNori! I went to this spot at least once a week for two years when I lived in Marina del Rey. It is by the water in the beautiful new Boardwalk, right outside the window are incredible views of boats and sunsets, and fresh air coming off the ocean. As nice as it is from a location perspective, all that pales in comparison to the food. This is a handroll only establishment. When I used to tell people that, they'd be skeptical. But every time I brought someone there, their mind was instantly put at ease. It doesn't matter which handroll you get, they're all amazing. My favorites are the Toro, Yellowtail, and Seabream, but honestly it's so difficult to choose because the Crab and Lobster rolls are equally as amazing. The moment you bite into a handroll, you can tell the fish is so fresh. It was probably swimming that morning! But on top of that, KazuNori nails the Japanese style rice, it's lightly warm, just a touch sour from rice wine vinegar, and just perfectly sized to fill out the seaweed crisp and balance out the fish. From a service angle, KazuNori is top notch. It would be really easy for the staff to be short or curt with people, especially at a place that's so popular and typically has lines out the door most of the day, but they never are. They're friendly, accommodating, and always explaining the situation if people are getting frustrated. They do a good job of getting guests in and out to minimize wait times, but when you're dining there you never feel rushed. That's a hard balance to strike. KazuNori is one of my favorite sushi spots in all of LA, and possibly the world.

Great service and hand rolls were so fresh! Scott the floor manager gave us a plate of salmon sashimi on the house to apologize for the delay with our order (i didn't even notice a delay to be honest but appreciate the gesture!) Just some slight confusion on which rolls we ate or didn't receive.

Hand Rolls were 11/10. Fresh and flavorful. The eel was so so good and everything was so meticulously placed (Japanese style). Very intimate setting. There is a line for lunch so make sure to get there early but worth the wait. Go to spot in Marina Del Rey

Delicious food, fast service once you are seated, and great views. Do not come here if you are looking for ambiance or comfortable seating- it's more of a casual place to get great quality sushi.

I'm usually not a hand roll lover but KazuNori does them really well, the quality of seafood here is unmatched and the system they have down for service is great. I love that even though the menu is simple, the rolls are coming out really nicely paced so you're never letting a hand roll sit to become soggy. They prioritize efficiency and I really appreciate the small focused approach to service. The downside to their personal service is that wait times can get long and it isis definitely a more expensive option for handrolls.

KazuNori offers a consistently excellent experience. I enjoyed my experiences at locations in Santa Monica and Midtown Manhattan; Marina Del Rey was just as good! The setting on the marina and watching boats come in and out are so nice. I like the 5-roll option. Crab is my favorite. I enjoy the crunch of the seaweed, warmth of the rice, and freshness of the filling. It's so great the rolls are made to order. The staff is so friendly.

Thank you Kazunori for your existence and feeding me delicious meals. If you haven't been to Kazunori before, you are in for a treat! Pro Tip: Order the 6-handroll! I can easily devour 6 hand rolls, but even if you are not that hungry, I promise you'll somehow make space for it, and you won't regret it. It's so yummy and I like every single roll offered. If you're a seasoned Kazunori lover and dare to deviate away from the classic rolls, I do also recommend the Nozawa 6-hand roll. The Nozawa comes with: Tuna, sea bream, lobster, Yamaimo, monkfish, eel. The Tuna and lobster are from the classic menu and delicious as always. I personally do not care for the sea bream and and is least favorite roll of all offerings. Yamaimo is interesting and surprisingly tasty if you don't mind slimy food. Monkfish is an acquired taste, but definitely delicious! Eel is eel. Stay safe and stay with the classic if you're not the adventurous type. But if you're feeling a little adventurous, give the Nozawa a try! What is also great about this location is that it is right on the Marina! Theres great views and great company!

Beautiful location on the marina. I got the 5 hand roll plate and it was more than enough. Fast service. Parking validated. Arrived at 4:30pm all seats full and only waited 15min.

Definitely a different dining experience!.... The parking lot has fees but this restaurant validates your ticket for 2 hours. Note that the front door is locked and main entry is in back. The line starts inside and continues outside and around the building! There's also no seats provided so it's almost like waiting for a popular ride at Disneyland lol, but atleast you get a nice view of the marina. When I arrived at 7pm on a Monday there was a shorter line but not by the time I left. Inside there's just a large bar style "kitchen" with counter seating, and I think it only seats around 25-30 which would explain the long wait times. The decor is modern and classy, with the dark wood giving it a warm organic feel. The establishment is very clean, and I even noticed (from where I was sitting) that the bins which held the seafood were wiped down often and are virtually spotless. Didn't use the restroom but they're gender neutral (not a fan) however the sink area is nicely designed. As soon as we sat down we were greeted by Nick, a handsome young gentleman who politely explained the protocol as we were first timers. Throughout our meal he checked in, promptly asked about refills and tidied up our area. Stellar. Ordering is made simple due to not having alot of options, but trust me when I say you don't need them! These little handrolls are a dream and that's all you'll come here for. I had the 5 handroll kit, and they "roll" them out in succession at a good pace. If you eat them as suggested (as soon as it lands basically) the seaweed is lightly crispy and so good wrapped around the rice and fresh tartare style fish! The only snag a came across was with the crab roll. There were some bits of shell in a few bites. Not enough to damage teeth but annoying enough to say I wouldn't order it again. I appreciate that it's very fresh crab but I feel like there has to be a better way to de-shell these guys. Lastly I was surprised to see footnoted on their menu that they're a non-tipping establishment. Maybe they want to stick to the cultural Japanese etiquette and that's fine, but then there's an extra 16% fee which they say isn't a tip, but then what is it for exactly? Overall very fresh and tasty fare with great service in a comfortable environment, if you don't mind the wait.

I love hand rolls so this place was perfect! The pre fix menu options were great but if you know what you like in a hand roll it's not too much of a price difference to get what you prefer. Fish was fresh and the rice to fish portion great. The restaurant was dim but not horrible and lively enough while still being able to hear those you're dining with. The service was quick and our group of 8 were seated in about 30-40mins which didn't feel too bad considering we chose to stay seated together and its first come first serve, and on a Friday night too!

Five stars easily. Ever since tragedies began entering my life in the last quarter of 2024, I started running. I ran from my home which has now most likely died in a fire to Kazu nori in marina del ray. I was already dealing with enough in my life, but this place this food kinda made feel a lil better so I always went on 4 hour 12 mile runs to go there. The food is great and the service is great except for the fact they ask children who are sitting and eating alone for parking validation other than that amazing. I love the guy that always gives me extra ginger now I recognize him whenever I go there and he recognizes me. Ambiance is good for a lunchy vibe never been there for dinner (I have but not at the marina del ray location).

Such a great place for small or medium sized gatherings. My favorite kind of lighting. Super prompt service (and if there's a wait, the food is worth it). We had a very great server. Food was incredible quality and flavor. Perfect then around timing. I was full off the 4 hand roll and my brother was full off 6 hand roll. Each one had 10/10 flavor :) We also had albacore sashimi which was picked based off server recs and looooved the flavor profile. Worth the try!

2nd time here at this location and multiple times back at a Kazunori! Expect to wait about 30 mins to an hour. The line may look daunting but it moves at a decent pace. Ordered the 6 roll set for $28, which came with toro, salmon, yellowtail, bay scallops, crab, and lobster. I also ordered an extra sea bream hand roll for $5.75. My favorite rolls have to be the scallops, crab, and lobster! Just packed with so much flavor! A few criticisms from this visit, I loved the toro, but fish was a little skimpy. The sea bream and yellowtail was lacking flavor, sea bream came out really cold, once I let it sit a little, can start tasting the fish. There is also a $12.00 service charge fee. Overall still my favorite hand roll place! Even with a few inconsistencies, I'm always left satisfied!

I went on a Friday night (8pm) with a party of 5 people. We waited for about an hour so I would recommend coming during the week. But the sushi was amazing! It was worth the wait! I got 5 rolls which was more than enough and the ice green tea! The service was fast once we got seated and I'm glad the 5 of us were able to sit together.

My cousins took us here when we came in town to visit and the hand rolls were phenomenal. They are huge foodies in the LA scene and we just came back to Japan, so we all have pretty high standards when it comes to raw fish. The lines and wait can be pretty long and there's not a lot of seating, it's all counter service which makes sense for hand rolls. For big eaters like my husband I recommend getting 7-8 hand rolls. For me, I did the 6 hand roll menu set so I can try one of everything and I was struggling a bit by the 5th roll. You can also do substitutions. The highlights were the toro, yellowtail, salmon, and the bay scallops. I would sub out the crab for a second hand roll of bay scallops or even the lobster. It was that good! The rice was perfectly cooked and the service was good! I will be adding this my go-to eats in LA.

I've come here twice now and have enjoyed the food and ambiance both times. I usually get the 6-Hand Roll Combo since it is cheaper to get the combo vs. ordering each one individually. This also allows me to have a variety of hand rolls. The nori seaweed is crispy, the rice nice and warm, and the fish/seafood inside is fresh. I like how they don't doctor up the filling too much. I actually am able to taste the fish/seafood vs. other places that add so much mayo or sauces or other flavors that I can't even taste the fish/seafood. The 6-Hand Roll combo gets me pretty full since there's plenty of rice and filling inside each hand roll. I luckily haven't had to wait very long to eat here (party of two usually). I came on Tuesday and a Wednesday between 4:30 and 5, and had to wait maybe 5-15 minutes.

One of the better locations in LA! Located next to the docks and within a plaza with other restaurants and has a dedicated parking lot. During prime lunch and dinner hours (esp on weekends), parking can get rough though. The ambiance is typical of what you'd expect from a Kazu restaurant. Service is always good here. It may take longer to receive your rolls if you come during busy hours, but it's still overall quite fast. I usually order the 5 or 6 handroll set! It's enough to fill me up. If I'm feeling extra hungry, I'll add another roll on a la carte. The toro and yellowtail are my favorites. Nothing beats a classic salmon though.

I came here on a Friday night and after waiting in a line for 40 mins. They tell me we are out of all Sashimi, the whole number one thing in their menue, Nozawa's 6 hand roll, no Eel roll and no Albacore roll. I was like why no one told me that earlier and all what they told me that it was a long day. Really very disappointed

When i go anywhere near a coastal state, the first thing i crave is sushi. And when i heard about Kazunori, i HAD to check out. I love a good handroll, and their limited menu is basically only handrolls and sashimi. Since the space is pretty small (only about 10-12 bar seats), the wait was bit long to get inside (about 30-45min during lunchtime). I will say the prices are very reasonable for the quality of hand rolls you get along with the entertainment of watching the chefs prepare it right in front of you.

The line is always out the door and previously I have never been in the mood to wait, today we rode bikes down to the marina and the line wasn't that long so decided to stop in for lunch. I see why people wait for this place. Food was fresh and delicious. There is only room for 15 maybe 20 or so people at the bar and they have a pretty straight forward menu. My only complaint was that they were so busy and switched shifts in the middle of our order and they forgot to give my bf one of his hand rolls and then were rude when we brought it to their attention. Other than that the rolls were great!

Can a hand roll be that good when you have to wait in line for at least half hour anytime of the day?! Hello Kazuhiro, indeed!! I like hand rolls, but I don't love them. Until I tried the ones at Kazunori. Fresh. Perfection. Delicious. Worth the wait!

Whenever anyone asks me about sugarfish, I tell them it's the Starbucks of sushi. They're consistent, great service, and the perfect price for the quality. Whenever I come back to California I make sure to make a stop. Please expand to Austin!!!

The line here was so long it wrapped around the outside of the store, but to my pleasant surprise it moved quite quickly and we were seated within the hour. The quality of fish here is phenomenal and the speed in which each roll is served is perfectly paced. The staff are very attentive and refill drinks before it hits the bottom despite the entire restaurant being filled. Seats are tight but there are hooks under the table for you to hang your bags. The view over the ocean is definitely a plus.

Called and called and called to see what the wait time would be and nobody answered the phone. Show up to a huge line, which was expected, the whatever. Waited in line for 45 minutes until we were near the front. Then at 8:30pm we were informed by an employee that they will not be seating any more parties for the rest of the night...and they close at 11. Total waste of my damn time.
