Okura Robata Grill & Sushi Bar

Review 5/365 Day Challenge Long over due review. After checking into our hotel at the Grand Hyatt Indian wells & resort. We were hungry especially it being a long drive. My friends husband Yelped and found this restaurant with great reviews. Came for dinner 7.18.25 We came in as walk in guest and was able to get seatings within 10 mins of waiting. The sushi served us really fresh and delicious. Gives a good amount of rolls/food for the pricing. The restaurant was really nice and has a dark elegant night time vibes. Be a perfect spot for date night for couples or even ladies night out. Has some cool wall art along w a nice tree that changes colors of the lights in the center of the dining area of the restaurant. Service is really friendly and we got our food in a timely manner. Those in town visitors on a trip for a celebration. FYI ~ received a Complimentary Green tea ice cream for my birthday dinner. Definitely enjoyed everything here. Would be back if I'm here at Palm Springs or recommend the restaurant to sushi lovers.

Our service was excellent. Reviews were spot on regarding the rolls. Our server recommended the seared albacore roll, OMG delish! We also had the vegetable tempura, the oil used was fresh, you can tell. Very good! We had the 12 piece sushi dish and the sushi was OK, i think my husband enjoyed more that I. I'm just really picky with sushi. I do recommend, and next time we'll stay for dessert!

Kids were too tired so ended up ordering take out from here. Food was excellent even as take out. We did the Hamachi Carpaccio, Salmon sashimi, Mango Tango, Okura Tempura and Black cod entree. Everything was delicious and nicely plated.

Great place in La Quinta! Delicious and fresh sushi. Lovely atmosphere. We made a reservation, which was good because it was busy. Cocktails were also excellent

Beautiful inside and well designed. Good is pricey, even with inflation. Good food though and portions are okay sized. Will come again. Just wish was about 15% less in costs as we were afraid to try more food and already $175 for 2 people

Good food and quality sushi. Try to make reservations, because they will make you wait even though it seems they have available tables. Hostess issue¿ Servers are nice, warm, and welcoming. Additionally, management is very attentive, so don't be surprised if she checks on you more than once. The down side is that it's a little pricy and they tend to bring all the sushi at once, and being picky; I don't like when my sushi starts to loose its tenderness. Would definitely recommend.

I went with friends the hostess in the front were friendly and nice they told us 30 minute wait. We waited about 55 minutes but I get it delays happen. What upset me was that we were sat outside my fault for not mentioning I would like to get seated inside. But when we got to the table it was dirty. I called the server over and he mentioned how he saw me pointing so he came with the towel with a bit of sas . Then he wipes the table and I point out where its still dirty. He tells me the table was wiped down but the Eel sauce was hard to clean. If I'm waiting almost a hour for my table I expect it to be clean. Server was weird at first he was acting like me pointing out the stains wasn’t justified. Towards the end he was fine. Food was good.

Normally don’t leave negative reviews but went in at 830pm and wasn’t greeted for 15 minutes just to be told they “closed” at 8pm. For a place that opens at 3pm you would think they could be open for at least 6 hours. Pretty mid for their price points. All I wanted was a quick drink as I know their hours are supposed to be until 9pm. Probably won’t return.

Joanne was such a great server! We would ask to be seated in her section the next time we go. Bus guys, food runner so attentive and polite. We loved the style and layout of the restaurant. Great design. Comfortable and music was not annoying like many other restaurants. The food! We've eaten sushi in many west coast restaurants from Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and more. Okura Robata was right up there with the best. Omg! The maguro without a doubt was the best I've eaten. Jalapeño Hamachi, Lemon Salmon! Get it! Everything we ordered was so good. I don't usually have dessert when I go out for sushi, well most of the time but I love cheesecake and the Matha Green Tea cheesecake was delicious. We shared it, (two slices with fruit) and YUM. Not sure why this restaurant doesn't get more stars, I'm guessing some people may think it's expensive (it is). Getting good fresh fish in the desert, plus the beautiful presentation was worth it to us. Yeah, this restaurant was special!

Very good sushi spot, but a little spendy. I tried the shrimp stuffed jalapeños (delicious) and the spicy scallop roll (also delicious). For dessert, mango and strawberry mochi (....delicious). You won't be disappointed with the food. Service was a little slow, especially on refilling water. The restaurant is decorated very well.

Another killer dinner at Okura! Bianca, the server was fantastic. The food was excellent! Adding the crab to the miso mushroom soup was epic. One of my favorite places to eat. The Hamachi was fresh and at a perfect temperature. My wife's spicy tuna roll was excellent and she was kind enough to share it with me. Nobu sushi is right down the street at Indian Wells. This place kicks their butt. Better service and a much better value for the same quality of product.

Came in on a Thursday night a very slow night. Food is good and portions are big. So far the best sushi if you're in La Quinta. We ordered a few things and this time around, we knew what to order. Just heads up, most of the rolls are very sweet. Just read through the description and you can avoid that. Restaurant is nice and ambience is classy.

Best sushi seafood experience I ever had ...the Seafood Gratin was pure umami. Never had a dish like that before. It was an Umptious, buttery dish of garlic, shrimp, mushrooms, scallops, cream and whatever else those geniuses put in there. Sushi rolls were such a high grade and beautiful as well. Pretty busy on a Saturday night so make reservations. Prices are a little high, but a great special occasion restaurant.

As you enter, its ambiance is cozy vibes. Slightly dimmed lighting. The staff are nice. It was a busy night but they are accommodating. Always refilling our water and asking us how we're doing. We ordered the sashimi platter that had 18 pieces of fish. Salmon, ahi, albacore, scallops, yellowtail, and halibut. Crispy calamari was very crispy with aioli sauce and eel sauce. Beef skewers was perfect with medium rare to our liking and topped with teriyaki sauce. Great restaurant for our trip.

Such a beautiful decored sushi restaurant. Dim lighting with outside seating. hubby and i definitely came under dressed after the drive up. Calamari on top of a bed of green garnish salad delish. Sushi was coo, plated very elegantly. Ended dinner with a sake swerve on. Thanks Kim from the nail shop for the recommendations.

I want to start by saying that we do hope to return here and give this another try. My husband and I went on a date night here and ordered drinks, an appetizer, and sushi right away. It was 35 minutes and multiple attempts to flag down our waitress until we received any food. The place was busy but the customer services was pretty bad - it really ruined our night out. We spoke to the manager who did discount our bill and was very apologetic and kind.

4 of us out for dinner before heading home after a great vacation in the desert. The seared tuna roll with gobi and togaradhi spice was great. We enjoyed a couple of appetizers too. I asked for a Japanese whiskey suggestion from the bartender. He was able to offer me a small sample of two of their best. I settled on the Umiki and had a glass meat. It was a good dining experience

Solid sushi joint. Pricing wasn't crazy and the rolls were great. Beef skewers were tender and flavorful. Our favorite roll was the hamachi jalapeño roll followed by the protein roll. The table enjoyed the calamari appetizer. The Okura tempura set was also a large set. Other people in my party ordered the spider roll and noticed there were carrots but no pickled gobo root in there so the flavor was slightly off. I was told that the lychee martini could have more lychee flavor. The spicy margarita was on the sour side in my opinion. The ambiance is dark steakhouse but I wasn't dressed fancy at all. I saw people in shorts and sandals. I was also wearing sandals.

The his restaurant is very interesting to me. The food and service are honestly both below average but somehow it's packed. Spicy tuna is barely fresh and the dynamite shrimp is definitely frozen. Waste of money.

Who knew such a fantastic Japanese restaurant exists in the desert of all places!! Not only is this a gorgeous restaurant but the quality of the food and service is excellent as well! I might add that I've eaten at so many different Japanese restaurants of different quality and almost all of their miso soup tastes about the same. But this restaurant has THE BEST miso soup I've ever had! So flavorful.

Best sushi in the Desert! Excellent customer service, very attentive and they make excellent recommendations! Inside of restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. Must see the tree! (Sit inside vs. patio.)

We came here with some family we were visiting in the area. The restaurant was busy and I was told was always this way and I could see why when we finished. Reservations are recommended here. The appetizers we had of carpaccio were excellent, my favorite would have to be the Hamachi Carpaccio (Yellowtail, Ginger, Chives with Soy - Lemon Vinaigrette). The seafood gratin was to die for with shrimp & scallops baked with white mushrooms with spicy cream sauce, we kept it as a dipping sauce for our rolls and you should try that as well. Some of the specialty rolls have unique names that really had nothing to do with the content of the roll. My favorite among these the James Dean, Eel, crab, tuna, cucumber and avocado and eel sauce. And the Marilyn Monroe, shrimp tempura, scallop, crab, tobiko, cucumber and micro cilantro, avocado with aioli

This place is amazing! I have been coming here since they went into business and have never, not once been disappointed(except that they took away all you can eat). The food and service is so good here. It is so refreshing to go out to eat and get both great food and great service. Fresh fish. Wonderful atmosphere. This place is 10/10. I've been to almost every good sushi restaurant in the valley. Only place that comes close to okura is Mitch's on el paseo. I definitely recommend eating here. You won't be disappointed.

Had dinner here to celebrate my stepdaughter's hs graduation. The ambiance is beautiful the hostesses were very nice and had us seated within 10 minutes. I will say it did take a while for our server to get to us but once he did it was exceptional service! Our drinks came out in minutes. The food was beyond my expectations. The Marilyn Monroe was bomb Miso soup delicious and the appetizer stuffed jalapeños with shrimp omg sooo good! I'm a sucker for Apreol spritz and there's was sooo good! It's pricey but definitely worth it.

Dinner here is amazing! Lots of seating! Kid friendly too. Ordered the Shishito Peppers as a starter, very good! Cooked to perfection! Nice crunch to the peppers and the sauce complimented the peppers well! Then we ordered the Hamachi Carpaccio and the sauce was amazing. We had ordered the Beef Skewer for my child and the steak was a little overcooked so the meat was a bit harder to chew. Next we had the Sashimi 18 Pieces Sasjo and it came with Sashimi, Tuna, Salmon, Albacore Tuna, Hotate, Hamachi, Tai. Hands down best sashimi . We then also ordered the Seared Albacore with Spicy Krab, Tobiko, Gobo, Cucumber, Shichimi and Micro Cilantro. Tasty but definitely had a spice to it. Service was amazing and staff is very nice! So if you're in town, you should stop here for dinner!

You don't expect to get great sushi in the desert, but this is exactly what we got! The service was wonderful and the variety of fresh sushi and fun rolls was excellent. The vegetable tempura was perfectly crisp (light batter too) and great addition to the sushi. The ambiance was fun, but not a party scene and loud-- great for a date night!

Excellent food and service. For all the people whining that it's expensive and giving bad reviews, please go buy some really cheap sushi at Vons so I can get a table easier (grab a bottle of Pepto while you're there)

Service was friendly and efficient. For the week after Labor day, the restaurant was busy with avery mixed dinner crowd and 20s to 50s yo at the bar for a Thursday night. Wasabi is cut with something like potato, so it is not very spicy. Soft shell crab sushi is small, the usual legs and claws are not discernible wrapped up in rice. The "WOW" factor is no longer the case here. Food is decent but not spectacular for the price. Piles of high chairs block the hallway to the men's room. Unfortunately, this place has definitely lost its flare. Should have listened to the old timers report!!! Maybe by winter things will turn around

Upscale setting, good service, but sadly once again, mediocre food. I've done all the LaQuinta sushi spots, guess I'll have to stick with going back to Palm Desert, specifically Musashi or The Venue on El Paseo.

Atmosphere is amazing! Customer service has always been great! Sushi is so yummy! Can't ask for a better spot

The best sushi in the desert. I love this place, it's stunning and the sushi is so good. Their Happy Hour at the bar offers some great choices, I had the rock shrimp dynamite which was delicious. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been.

The rolls are really good here. Okura doesn't disappoint, in all the times I've visited them, the foo it's been fresh and flavorful. The service is very attractive and friendly making our experience even a better one. The restaurant it has a very nice ambiance, the decore, music and cleanliness. I always recommend Okura as the place to come.

During our visit recent visit a few days ago,we encountered the following troubling incidents: Discriminatory Remark: Our server, Maggie G., referred to us as "you people," which we reasonably understood to be an inappropriate, prejudicial comment based on our appearance. This conduct is not only unprofessional but potentially unlawful under applicable anti-discrimination laws. Failure to Accommodate Dietary Restrictions: Despite informing the server that I suffer from celiac disease, my request for proper accommodation was ignored. This resulted in significant concern for my health and well-being. Hostile Conduct by Staff and Guest: Following our discussion with the manager about these incidents, we were subjected to further mistreatment as we departed. Specifically, Maggie G.'s boyfriend or the Servers friendstold us to "go f*** off," creating an unsafe and threatening environment. When I asked what is going on, I had three men verbally abuse me and tell me to go fuck myself and to go fuck off and get the fuck out of here as your servers were laughing and heckling at us. We find this entire experience completely unacceptable, contrary to the standards one would reasonably expect at a reputable establishment, and potentially actionable under state and federal anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws. Please note that this letter is being sent to provide you an opportunity to promptly address and resolve these matters. Specifically, we request a formal, written acknowledgment of this complaint and an explanation of any corrective action you will take. Failure to do so may result in further action, including filing a formal complaint with the appropriate civil rights and health authorities and/or pursuing legal remedies.

Came here with my dad, he really likes this place for sushi, I've never tried it. I don't usually go this far in the valley that often at all. I'll make this quick since I'm sure I'll come back again. Dad treated me, so didn't have to worry about paying. Of course walking in, it is big and more upscale than an average sushi place. So that's good and nice but for course then that means prices are little more than other sushi places. Sat at the bar top because the wait time was long. We didn't mind at all. We both don't drink, but either way it was quiet and laid back at the bar. Bartender helped us out. Only thing that I didn't care for was I had to always fetch for him if I needed his attention , while of course when my father was around he constantly asked if we needed anything. So that was annoying considering I use to bartend and worked in the field, so didn't care for that part of those interactions. Unfortunately the roll I got was whatever, but the mango roll one that pops got I liked a lot. So guess should've switched . First experience was nice, guess despite everything I enjoyed it more because I was being treated. So that's something to keep in mind. I'm from the desert but recently moved back after over 25 years from OC/LA area so been to plenty places like these. Why sometimes I prefer going to more casual sushi places. Experiences are more enjoyable. But if you want that higher end feel, then you'll enjoy coming here.

Been several times and it seems to slowly lose my foodie interest. Mainly because it's so expensive and I don't feel it worth it. Salad looked like bagged with some oddities on top- spare ribs overly sauced so no meat taste. And everything covered in salt. Service ok not as professional as I would like and atmosphere was great . A good first date place but after a few times luster wears off

One of the best sushi restaurants, hands-down, especially in that area! Their fish is flown in every day! Need to say more? We thoroughly enjoyed our night, to celebrate my birthday! We enjoyed some very strong drinks--that also tasted yummy! Here's what we ordered below. Drinks: (2) different vodka-based cocktails (1) large-hot sake Appetizers: Albacore tuna carpaccio Steamed lightly-salted edamame Main dishes: Chirashi A Specialty role, which name escapes me Sweet soy glazed baked-cod Drinks: 10/10 Food: 9/10 Ambiance: 10/10 One of the best birthdays, and Sushi that I have had in a while! I would definitely recommend this place. I would also recommend that you make reservations, for special events, or on weekends! They are my go to place in that area for Sushi, moving forward! The service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The floor manager, Lynda, was also attentive and friendly and provided great customer service during the night! The ambience of the place was upscale, like a nice sit down sushi restaurant. It had a very cozy feel, with dimmed lights, and spacious dining room with several different focus areas. The coolest part about Okura sushi's decor was that--in the middle of the dining room--it had a custom-made faux, cherry blossom tree, with custom silk petals...that looked so real and gorgeous!

The food was great, and Maggie, the server, made it so much better. It was my daughters birthday and she brought her green tea but she didn't like it when I asked her she brought her vanilla ice cream with Decoration she felt so special. Thank you

*Oishii Okura* What a nice & pleasant experience. I've been following the reviews of Okura for years but was a little apprehensive due to some of the reviews I've read expressing how loud the restaurant gets and their blasting music too. A good longtime friend of mine comes here all the time and invited me as his guest...so I didn't really know what to expect because it was a TGIF Night. Well, first of all I'd like to profess & confess that the music was not loud at all (perhaps they finally got the message ;-) and I enjoyed the tasteful & beautiful restaurant decor & vibe with my buddy at our nice 2-top table -- without having to SHOUT at each other over any loud music :-) I love Japanese food & sushi and take it very seriously so I went into this with an open mind & heart, yet wanted to experience it traditionally like how I was taught by some amazing Japanese friends -- which is how I enjoy Japanese food the most when I opt not to eat strictly nigiri sushi. We started off with Hamachi Carpaccio to share and it was triple-D-lishious & very fresh. Absolutely nothing wrong with this dish and could've eaten the entire plate myself ;-) But IMO, 5 pieces is an odd number to serve and prefer 6 because it's easier to split between 2/4/6 peeps. One of my favorite things is an old-school traditional Salmon Skin Handroll which I blame on my Dad for talking me into trying one when I was a little kid. Nowadays, most places haven't a clue how to make & prepare it. They don't include Gobo, also known as burdock root, which is a popular Japanese root vegetable that's a key ingredient in all salmon skin handrolls. Another key ingredient is bonito shavings. Most places don't even bother with that either and it's such a shame because it brings it all together along with the gobo & thinly sliced cucumber, for a nice crunch in perfect tastebud harmony, along with the toasted seaweed and salmon skin. Another key ingredient is Orange Tabiko (Masago) which is flying fish eggs. But Okura surprised me with including Ikura (salmon roe eggs) and Sea Greens which was a very nice touch. But I would've preferred it without both and the Tabiko (Masago) instead. Nonetheless, it was still excellent...and so was the Ponzu Sauce I asked for on the side, because Eel Sauce on Salmon Skin Handrolls (avocado too) is a big no-no and far from traditional. But Okura's handroll was nice & fat...and minus the ikura & sea greens, it was one of better salmon skin handrollls I've had -- especially since they didn't skimp on the salmon skin. I'm a sucker for Bento Boxes because at times, I like to sample a little bit of everything -- especially the first time trying a new place. I was very satisfied with my decision and the baked salmon in broth was insanely good and didn't want it to end, as well as the Salmon (Sake) Sashimi -- nice thick cuts that were flavorful; not fishy...and melted in my mouth. The Tempura was pretty good but I thought the Shrimp were rather small but the tempura batter was very good as well as the vegetables and tempura broth sauce. I was pleased to see not 4 nor 6 but 8 pieces of California Roll. It was pretty good but a little disappointing at the same time because I thought the Imitation Krab with a K mixture had too much mayo...and the roll itself was missing cucumber for a little crunch. Believe it or not, a little bit of cucs goes a long way and it screams for it when it's missing. Also, it was missing sesame seeds which I expect to see & eat and a "high-end" Japanese restaurant. A California Roll is not difficult to prepare and IMO it missed the mark. And thought the sushi rice was just okay too. My buddy devoured his Mango Tango Roll and another roll I forget the name of. I tasted one of each and they very good and GIGANTIC. The service was excellent...and once they figured out I'm a h2o dude, they filled my glass with more water than my bladder could handle :-) We received all our food in a very timely manner which was very impressive at primetime Friday Night. But the star of the Friday Night Evening Show was Okura'a Manager, Linda. She went above and beyond to make sure we were seated at a great table, were well taken care of throughout our dining experience...and she came by a few times to check in on us too. Overall this was a very solid 4+ dining experience. Only reason why I'm not awarding Okura right now with a big high-5 is because I think a few details could've been better as expressed above. But this will not keep me from coming back with my wife next time for a round of bento boxes...Hamachi Carpaccio...and another Salmon Skin Handroll too. Thank you Okura, and Linda for a very nice first-time dining experience. {{{Grandslam I'm a Fan}}} Sayonara for now from Scotto San

Sushi was enjoyable! the hamachi w/lemon--so fresh and delicious. The tempura was amazing, crispy and light. We had veggies and shrimp. The fried California roll was great too (minus the fake crab, but I guess that's just the way of the world). The miso soup was solid, just a little cold. Only real miss was the fried rice--not their strong suit. Our waiter was awesome and friendly along with a nice vibe. The only weird part? I made a reservation online, and then they called to say I had to come earlier. Felt like a trap- lol- totally worth it!

Had to leave an updated review as it had been many years since I've eaten here. I've always liked it as it's hard to get quality sushi in the desert but this spot always delivers on taste and presentation. In October 2023 this was my first time at their larger location and it was stunning! The exterior definitely doesn't do it justice for how beautiful it is inside. The interior decor is literally gorgeous and transports you to sushi fine dining that could easily make you feel like your in LA or Vegas. Pretty purple neon lights and a gorgeous cherry blossom tree decor dead center of the restaurant it's a show stopper. Service has much improved since my last visit! They had six sushi chefs working behind the counter I couldn't believe it. Also our server was an older Asian gentleman and he was awesome. Super attentive and nice. He definitely bumped up the stars in my book given how much better the service was since the last time we came. The food continues to be stellar and as good as ever. The sushi is unbelievably fresh and presentation makes the rolls here a 5/5. I'm still a sucker for their dynamite fried shrimp and the Marilyn Monroe roll continues to reign supreme. What's new that i tried here were the giant oysters. Oh my god one of the best Asian style oysters I've had in a minute. Super fresh and meaty, a must if you love oysters! Couldn't believe the size for the value in price. The food here always wows and it's a great spot for celebrations and dates. The prices continue to be on the higher end but the quality is there. Plus good sushi lacks in this part of town so I get why they can charge a pretty penny. For three gals it easily came to $130. You get what you pay for though. Pro tip: you MUST get the lychee martini as it's the best I've had anywhere yet. Also wouldn't hurt to make a reservation. This spot always gets packed and it saves you from a long wait time.

Brought my 8yo here on an impromptu mommy and son dinner date cause I had to quickly feed the child. Didn't have reservations but they sat us right away...next to the bar. I didn't think anything of it but noticed they had plenty of seating in the lower section but maybe that's for people with reservations? He had the Yaki Udon with chicken which was ok. Lots of veggies, small portion of overcooked chicken and bland but bland is ok cause he doesn't need more sodium in his life. I had to specifically request it cause I couldn't find it on the menu, probably a reason for that. I ordered the Lemon Delight roll. It was fine. My only regret was not asking for another table when they sat us. A polite intoxicated woman from the bar made a beeline for my son with questions about sports and his hobbies. It was very innocent but I could see the horror in his eyes. My mistake for not speaking up but also maybe bad choice in seat selection by the hostess. All in all, service fine, food was fine, ambiance pretty. Definitely a place for adults, couples, friends etc. I learned we probably shouldn't be back with little kiddos in tow.

Definitely get reservations to eat here as it was quite busy and we walked right through the crowd with our reservations. Lots of seating areas, the dim overall light and fun decor provided some intimate areas despite it being a large restaurant. Service was excellent. We are not usual sushi diners so we had lots of questions and our server was very well versed about the menu. So helpful and our choices were perfect. I liked that we had four people and could share our choices to try a number of things. The beef skewer was delicious. Wish it was a big larger portion. The rolls were huge. Loved the crunchy option we chose. Great experience.

So delish! This place does amazing rolls, some places I go, the sushi is great but rolls are average, Okura had both on point! Don't miss out on trying this restaurant!

I want to compliment Joana and Javier on their excellent service and fantastic attitude. It was busy and they were understaffed but made sure we were taken care of. The fish is fresh and I'd recommend this restaurant for sushi in the area.

My friend and I sat at the bar but it was beautiful view everywhere, the service was great and the food was WOO!

We come here every time we visit La Quinta. The food and service is always great. Ambiance is wonderful and sushi is amazing.

A nice early evening, no resi at the sushi bar. Another great evening at Okura. Having reviewed many times, this shoulder season review is important. Quality here does not change, excellent even when they are not slammed. Over all value: for me the best in the valley. Red Dragon Roll

I posted a review * Star about the food pointing in got here. I emailed two times to the restaurant letting them know that I had food poisoning To date no one in management has responded to my emails. Bad customer service in my opinion.

Freshness. Temperature. Taste. Preparation. Good service. Lovely setting - great for a date night or a casual meal. This place has everything we look for in a sushi restaurant. So happy to have found this place since moving to the valley. Last night was our 2nd time here - wanted to try again to make sure it was as good as we found it on our first trip. This is our new go to spot.

Been coming here a few years now and lost count how many times I have actually been here. The food is always good. The service is great as well. The hostesses need improving though, they couldn't care less to be honest with you. Here is where the fun starts...If you make a reservation either by calling or on opentable and don't specify you want the main room, they will throw you in the dark kids room. We never encountered this before and frankly, didn't even know this room existed. Its off the bar like some glorified storage room. We like the waiters but felt neglected. I don't blame them. I would forget this room existed too. I know they are trying to cram as many people possible in here but this is ridiculous. I thought I was in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland and was waiting for the "Ghost Host" to tell me there are no windows and no doors because there are no windows and no doors! At least give me a ghost hitch-hiker on the way out!

We made reservations and walked right in. The place is buzzing with Beautiful ambience. We ordered some rolls - Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned rice, and beautifully crafted rolls. We loved the chicken and rice too.

My favorite and best Japanese sushi & grill restaurant in the desert. I love the ambience of the restaurant. I remember when it was a smaller restaurant in the same shopping mall. The new location is so much more space and decor. If you don't eat sushi, there's so much other items from the grill or bento boxes.

We enjoyed a lovely evening of flavorful and artful creations. Our first visit and very pleasantly surprised by the quality, flavors and artfulness of the preparation and presentation of our meal. Our sushi choices were masterfully presented. My wife loved her beef binto box. And my two rolls were wonderful.. Slightly pricey but worth it... we'll be back...

We came here on a Medical Conference weekend and the restaurant was packed. Food was good. A little overpriced. The ambience was warm and cozy. Dimly lit

Bento box with chicken and salmon, yummy! Spicy tuna roll and yellow tail roll and Poblano peppers. Our cocktails were delish! Lemon drop and Blue Hawaii. 3rd time we've eaten here and we will be going back!

The service and food was great! I really enjoyed the freshness of the rolls and the variety.
