I love love love this place and have been coming here for years! They've earned a Michelin star in 2019 and it does not surprise me one bit! Highly recommend to make reservations to avoid long wait times especially on the weekends. Definitely a quaint place, almost has a hole-in-the-wall feel from the outside. Just an FYI, this place isn't as friendly to those who don't eat fish (ie. no bento box, udon options, etc).
PARKING: Some street parking available, however I never get that lucky. I usually park in the Joe's parking lot that belongs to the Little Tokyo mall for convenience.
Their rolls are what makes it stand out!
LEMON ROLL: One of their popular items on the menu. This is made of salmon, spicy salmon, avocado, cucumber, and lemon. So refreshingly great and this is always a must order for our family. (Definitely wouldn't recommend if you don't like lemon for obvious reasons haha)
CHEF #1: This comes with tuna, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, avocado, and cajun powder. Can't go wrong with this combo. Cajun powder wasn't too overwhelming. Highly recommend!
CHEF #2: This comes with eel, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, and avocado. Similar to a Caterpillar roll. I enjoyed Chef #1 more than #2, but would get both again.
ABURI SALMON BELLY: This is the center loin of scottish salmon with yuzu and soy sauce. Melts in your mouth and is sooo tender. Love this!
CRISPY RICE WITH SPICY TUNA/YELLOWTAIL: I love a crispy rice with spicy tuna. Sometimes they'll have a special with a different protein. I've had both the spicy tuna and yellowtail version, came out exactly as I expected.
YUZU: This roll comes with yellowtail, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, smelt egg, and avocado. Definitely a more refreshing roll with the yuzu and highly recommend. Always a must order for us!
Hope you stop by if you are in the area and enjoy it as much as I do! :)
