Sushi Maru

This place is phenomenal! The sushi is super delicious and well worth the price. My favorites are the jalapeno and diego roll. We've became regulars and well known now by the owner and the sushi makers, ezekiel is super friendly and funny to talk too! The staff is also nice and very welcoming! This is a must try! We love sitting at the sushi bar!

Do you love sushi? Want to go on an adventure and not leave your seat, come to Sushi Maru and order everything off the special nigiri sushi menu. Its a whirlwind of flavors and textures. Its fun to see whats new. Some items are seasonal so you'll only see them once a year. It will not disappoint. The fish is fresh, service is attentive and I've never seen Suhi Maru not busy. Every time I come home to visit, I do not miss a trip to Sushi Maru. Was back in town this last week. Can't miss Maru. They had Ikura from Hokkaido. Top notch. Once again they never fail to take it to another level. Bluefin nigiri plate was on point. Love it.

Japantown’s best sushi spot, hands down. I live in the Neighbourhood and have come here at least 10 times. The fish is always fresh, and there are many different options for all tastes. The chefs and staffs are all friendly and always make sure that you have everything you need. 5-stars!!

Friendly restaurant, fresh fish, at a good price + fun experience. There is not much more you can ask for

Such a cute little sushi place!! We're visiting San jose for a week from NJ. Found this place on Google maps. We waited for the place to open at 530pm. There were already a line of people waiting as well. They have plates of sushi on a conveyor belt. Each plate has a different set of pricing. You can order whatever you want as well. The fish melts in your mouth!! They give you free orange sorbet. The staff was very nice and friendly. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area. Quality sushi is hard to find.

I’ve been coming here for years and I can’t say I’ve ever left here unsatisfied. The sushi here is top notch and their other dishes are amazing. I think I’ve probably had just about everything on the menu here and can’t ever get tired of it. I wouldn’t say I’m a regular at many places but I am definitely a regular here! The service is always very friendly and a lot of the time they give a little scoop of ice cream at the end of the meal. I’ve tried a lot of Japanese places in the South Bay Area and I always find myself coming back here because of the quality, the taste, and the service.

To be more specific i give it a 4.7. Very friendly staff and fairly straightforward methodology. You can sit at a table and order off a menu. Or sit at the sushi bar and take as you please off the conveyer belt. You can also still order off the menu or even talk directly to the sushi chefs and ask for anything really in terms of sushi. Fish was very fresh and cut right in front of you. And there is more than just sushi on the belt; mussels, tempura etc. Plates are color coded belt depending on the price. MY reason for not giving it 5 stars was that’s the belt method while fun, comes in very small portions. The randomness associated also made me think on the fly about deciding, note, the plates are not labeled so you go purely off visuals. Essentially, you have to give up your cravings and settle for what is passing in front of you. That, combined with the small portions left me feeling unsatisfied, despite the fact that I was full. Also caution on the belt, your price will rack up quick, far quicker than if you were to just commit to something on the menu. That’s why I specifically didn’t give it 5 stars. But I know a lot of you are more used to this style of Japanese restaurant so it might just be a full five stars for you!

Sushi Maru has been our go-to place for years now. Their blue fin tuna is in beatable, both for pricing and freshness! Highly recommend for those who love fresh chutoro and otoro.

I really appreciated that they happily substituted the rice for double miso soup since I wasn't in the mood for rice with my bento. The bento itself was a great deal. 11 pieces of sashimi for $25 is an excellent price. The host and server were incredible and honestly the main reason I am finishing this review. The customer service alone makes this place worth coming back to. I was there about 30 minutes before closing and took notice of something that really stood out to me. Toward the end of the night, it is common to feel rushed, and I completely understand that. However, I watched one server patiently wait while another was slowly setting food down and rearranging items. The server holding two heavy bento boxes waited with a genuine smile and zero signs of frustration. That kind of patience and professionalism is rare these days, and it did not go unnoticed. The food was enjoyable, the service was outstanding, and the overall vibe is cozy and straightforward. This is a solid spot for a relaxed dinner, and I will definitely be back!

After living in Japantown for the past 8 years, sushi Maru is one of our regulars. It's great for kids. They love the sushi boat. I love their daily lunch specials. It's so big and nourishing. Their curry rice is also pretty darn good! We love certain nigiri's like the Pako and the seared salmon nigiri. At the end of the meal, they always give a small ice cream or lemon slushie which is delicious and also great for kids! They make training chopsticks and always have them on hand there for kids or maybe people who are still learning. We always get udon there for the kids along with sushi boat items. Overall, a great family friendly spot!

If you focus on ordering with the sushi team in the middle, you can ignore the conveyor-belt sushi (those don't look appetizing after being out for some time). This place offers a large variety of sushi and educates you on the proper name for them (we've been calling them wrong!). The quality of fish, especially the toro, was amazing. This places serves big cuts and with rice, but it was delicious! I highly recommend trying this place!

My favorite sushi restaurant? Sushi Maru. Delicious sushi plus amazing service, what more could I ask for. If I had to recommend a dish from this restaurant--it would be tekka maki. I cannot recommend this enough. As someone who absolutely enjoys tekka maki, this one here blows my mind every time. It's fresh, well-seasoned and JUST SO GOOD. Recently we were able to try their mackerel nigiri as well as the seared tuna sashimi. I really enjoyed the tuna sashimi with their shredded radish, I was impressed. The mackerel nigiri was slightly fishy, but it was expected. It was good but I wouldn't order it again. Aside from that, their cold soba noodles are also yummy and super refreshing! They have a variety of nigiris as well as unique rolls that you won't find at other restaurants. Of course, they'll also have your favorite classics! The restaurant is always super busy but the wait is so worth it!! They also have a revolving sushi belt at the bar where you could see the chefs whippin' up your rolls right in front of you. You do not want to miss out on that!! Definitely check it out if you're in the area :-)

Delicious authentic Japanese food with a wide menu full of diverse options. This shop includes a sushi conveyor belt and also booths/tables to dine at. There are various bento box combinations you can try different types of foods in one meal for good prices. Quality is fresh, portions are decent. The service was top notch, I was served by a very enthusiastic elder Japanese man who made me feel very welcome and the service was quick. They provided complimentary sorbet dessert. I got a bento box with 2 options (salmon sashimi, mackerel grilled), and it comes with miso soup (made from scratch, not instant or watered down), a side salad, edamame, a piece of fruit, a bowl of rice. There is a variety of different fresh miso soups available on the menu.

Where the heck am I. I'm hungry and grumpy, lost in translation, am I in a town in Japan. Oh wait, I'm stupid. I'm in Japantown San Jose. Still hungry though. Still grumpy too. Randomly picked a place on my iPhone map... ini mini miny moe... OK. Sushi Maru it is. I walked in and instantly felt like I was thrown back to 1985, old school vibe, but I can tell they kept their kitchen traditions alive here. I ate my fill of delicious chicken teriyaki from my bento box and lots of new nigiri sushi I've never had before. I loved every bite. No more hangry man, all smiles now. I later read that it was voted third best sushi place my Metro. Maybe I should choice random restaurants on a map more often

We recently checked out Sushi Maru based on a recommendation from my husband's coworker who raved about the place. Sure, we have our go-to spots in Japantown, but we figured we'd try something new. We strolled in around 7:45pm on a Friday, and the place was packed. We wanted to sit at the sushi bar, so it was about a 15 minute wait with 1 couple ahead of us. The layout of the place was your typical sushi boat spot with a combination of booths, tables, and the sushi bar in the center. Like many of the OG restaurants on the street, Sushi Maru had that old charm. The staff members were great. Appreciated that the waitresses came to check on us periodically and provide timely updates while we were waiting. Everyone was friendly, including the waitresses and the sushi chefs. My husband enjoyed the nigiri and sushi rolls we tried. I would go as far as saying that I thought the fish was much fresher than other nearby places. I am a huge fan of saba and aji, so I loved that Sushi Maru had them to offer. Their soft shell crab appetizer was superb. It came with 2 pieces and was so crunchy. Looks like Sushi Maru has two new recurring customers. We look forward to trying their hot items and bentos in the future.

The wife and I are going to Japan for the first time next month as we've been going to Japanese restaurants all over the Bay Area trying to get a taste of "good" Japanese food before we experience the real stuff in the land of the rising sun. We stopped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The restaurant was pretty full but we were able to get seated quickly. I ordered the 2 item combo with Pork Katsu and Tempura. The wife got the Chirashi bowl. We also split a few sushi rolls. The food was decent but nothing special. Service was pretty slow as well. Took FOREVER to get our food.

Honestly this is my favorite takeout in the bay and my go-to for sushi. I always get the bento box with beef teriyaki and sashimi and it is consistently delicious. Love the ambiance inside. One of the last restaurants that still looks like that in Japantown. They're not on uber eats or DoorDash, but you can order ahead and pick up yourself.

Friendly service with a fun & lively environment. The prices are reasonable and the portions are well thought out. What stood out to me here was the service. Super friendly, thoughtful, and accommodating with our requests. If you're in the area (Japan Town), I would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody in the mood for Japanese food. The fish tasted fresh and did not taste low quality, most importantly it was not smelly at all!

Was here eating with friends for Fanime, since they wanted to eat at a sushi place. One of my friends recommended me, so we went to try it out. We got there around 600, so it was quite packed when we were there. After about 30 min, we sat down. We sat in one of the booths next to the rotating conveyor belt, so we had access to the plates on there. They have different prices based on the color of the plate. I had a few myself, but my review will focus on the entree. Potato Curry Croquette: This was pretty good. A fair amount of rice and curry sauce paired with Two Potato Croquettes. The curry was delicious and hearty. It tasted what i expected of Japanese curry. And the two potato croquettes were crispy and filling. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My server was very nice and helpful. I can see myself coming back here again.

Friday night lay in from Phoenix and Portland and the wife wanted sushi and she had been here before. The area has been renovated and parking can be a challenging but we were a bit late. Found parking but a short 7' walk. Wasn't too long wait, 15' or so. Place was hopping! Had my to go Chirashi, raw oysters, rainbow roll all were excellent. Fish was free and tasty and the rice was perfect. Not sure why reviews are higher but they haven't deterred those on the know ; D

Get the Seared Salmon!!!! It was soooo good. Me and my boyfriend sat at the bar here and did the revolving sushi. It's better than somewhere like Kura (although that also has its place) and feels way more personal. Talking with the lady making sushi there and getting recommendations definitely added to the experience. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything they had to offer. The servers were ALL very friendly and gave great service. In the past few months that I have been dining around the Bay I would say the quality of service I received here is in the top 3, minimum. And I love to eat out. For that alone I would recommend. The vibe of the place is very homey and traditional feeling because of that as well. If you want to splurge a little and get good quality fish without breaking the bank I would say come here. If you want somewhere a bit cheap though, not sure if I would recommend. And that's not a bad thing at all. It's mid tier pricing with excellent service. For what you get it's well worth. Will visit again and recommend to people I know. Also highly recommend for dates.

Not sure why this place didn't get overall a 5 stars on yelp. Today is my first time and we definitely love it. Service is great. The sashimi is definitely fresh. The dish to rice ratio for nigiri is perfect. There are not there to stuff you full with rice. It's quality food. We also got bento. The tofu was crunch outside soft inside. At the end of meal we also got complimentary ice cream and sorbet. Oh must mention the wide alcohol beverage choices. I'll be back for sure.

The best sushi restaurant in South Bay! This restaurant is always busy and good service! Owner is friendly and nice. All sushi especially nigiri are very authentic Japanese sushi. Highly recommend to try the today's special.

The concept of conveyor belt sushi is always enticing to me. I would google search for it whenever I'm in a new area and am craving sushi. Sushi Maru popped up on my search and I'm glad I found it! The sushi looked pretty good and there were a couple of seared nigiri's that I thoroughly enjoyed. Plates are color code with a respective price. By the time it was near closing, they actually started combining 2 plates of different colors onto one plate of a higher tier in pricing. Smart! I would've picked those if those came out sooner. Next time!

I was surprised how affordable and delicious my bento was. I was shocked that my bento was only 20 dollars but dollar extra because I added sashimi. The service was quick and fast. The ambiance was really clean and structured. I can't wait to go back for another meal.

Been coming a long time, usually after 8pm to get the double for one dishes. Their sushi is really good albeit small and they don't do the stamp cards anymore to my knowledge. The owner and chefs are really nice though and I appreciate that it is out of the way from the Main Street of JapanTown for some quiet. Tables and interior are a bit old fashioned but meshes well with the sushi vibe.

Met up with a friend to try Sushi Maru and I was pretty impressed given that it's rotating sushi. What can I say? The quality isn't always there with rotating sushi. Here at Sushi Maru though, the cuts were pretty generous and looked fresh. It's easy to place specific nigiri orders and you can see it made right in front of you. My friend and I shared about 13 plates with a shochu cocktail each and our total was about $65 each with tip. When it came to the cuts, my favorites included the scallops, salmon, and salmon zuke. Some of the more premium ingredients like uni or toro weren't bad but I've definitely had better.

Food: 3 stars for the sushi rolls. I went with a rainbow roll, caterpillar roll, and seaweed salad. The rolls were subpar. The fish had discoloration to it and the California roll on the inside tasted premade and off. The seaweed salad tasted very good but I went there for the sushi. Ambiance: Clean inside and outside. Nice atmosphere and great customer service. They greet you when you enter and leave. Parking: Street parking only. Went at night and parking was available down the street. It's a nice little walk through Japan Town.

I've been to this Sushi Maru a few times, but mostly to their other location in Milpitas. No longer there but a different Japanese restaurant. But, recently had takeout from here either from other people bringing sushi platters from here. The bentos are decent and the rolls are pretty good. They have been in J-Town for years and years.

I have been coming here for awhile now. I have come for dates and family gatherings as well. I tend to order their lunch special. You get a lot of delicious food for a good price. The menu varies for the lunch special but I don't care what it is and just order it. We came close to their closing time around 1pm and it was still so packed. Their kitchen closes around 2pm but you can still finish your meal after ordering from the kitchen prior to their closing.

Food: always good, delicious, the fish was fresh, and service was fast and amazing Ambiance: decor was like you are in Japan

Conveyor belt sushi! What a fun experience. I had no idea what I ate. I just grabbed whatever looked good off the belt. lol. I liked everything that I tried. Washed it all down with Sapporo on draft. A solid spot for sushi.

Came in on a busy Sunday for the first time. We found the food (curry katsu, three item bento, kids meal) to be a great value. I'm sure we'll be back to sit at the rotating sushi station. Thanks Team Sushi Maru!

Sushi Maru is a cute neighborhood sushi spot, and one of my go-to places for when I have no idea what I want to eat. Their menu is extensive, and their sushi is good quality for the price! This is one of the biggest reasons I frequent Sushi Maru so much. 2 pieces of Amaebi nigiri for 7.95? Wild. They also do revolving sushi in their restaurant too, which adds a fun aspect to eating there. Besides sushi, I would def recommend the tempura. So crispy on the outside and so nice and soft on the inside. They also have really good combo deals and lunch deals, and everyone who works there is really nice and friendly. 4 stars b/c although it's not the best sushi that I've tried, price to quality/yummy ratio is so good, and it's just an overall comforting, cozy place to eat at. :)

Used to come here a lot but stopped during covid. Came back recently and still doesn't disappoint! Chefs and waiters mostly changed but still very attentive. Bentos and entrees are the focus, the sushi is how they make money.Easy to get tempted by conveyor belt and grab too much, and cost does pile up quickly, especially because entrees can be slow to arrive. Things to get: best futomaki ever, super generous with tamago (especially end cuts) and very big. Seared salmon get it fresh from chef. Same with Mando roll, inside is fried shrimp and outside dipped in crunchy rice or something. Tip: come near closing time and the sushi plates are often combined, cheaper because not as fresh. If you don't get raw stuff it's fine. Got lunch special this time, good deal. Salmon kama and a raw fish bowl like poke, plus salad and gyoza and miso soup, which has salmon scraps in there. Ended with some complimentary lemon sorbet, felt very homemade. Haven't gotten this before but it was a great end to our meal!

3.5 stars. Fun spot for sushi, bento boxes, etc. It's a small space, with good amount of seating, with both booths and bar seating by the conveyer belt bar. By noon there is definitely a wait, so come early! I totally agree with prior reviews that the value isn't great. We grabbed a whole bunch of sushi from the conveyer belt before seeing the price on a wall, with the plates ranging from 5.95 to 7.95 so they really added up FAST. The sushi was overall quite good, but some of the nigiri were dry or oversauced. Tons of menu options as well with bento boxes, specialty rolls, sashimi plates, etc. For 2 adults and 2 kids our bill was $140 which is pretty brutal for a lunch where I left a little bit hungry.... I liked that they gave us a scoop of napolean ice cream afterwards. All the servers were friendly and nice despite being very busy.

This is my friends' favorite sushi place that she ordered delivery from this place for her big wedding day. And we dined in together this time. It just blew my mind by how fresh the sushi was!!! They have quite a variety of options, which already exceeds most of other mediocre sushi places in the Bay Area. And the fish tempura with roe was super crispy and tasty! I would def go back for more!

This is my go-to place for sushi in Japantown. I've been going here for over 10 years. Food is consistently good, prices are reasonable, customer service is always great, and service is quick. I always order the Nanook, which is a salmon nigiri topped with sauce and seared. On this visit, they had a special shipment of uni from Japan, so I tried one piece nigiri ($10). It was worth it though. The uni was so fresh and sweet, not pungent at all. I normally order their shrimp tempura sushi too, but I wanted to try their chu toro (fatty tuna). It was also very fresh and had good fattiness. Everything I've tried, I've liked. I think it's hard to find a miss here. I think their nigiri selection has gotten better too. The staff is also so, so nice!

My friend and I wanted to try a new conveyor belt sushi spot, so we came to this place in Japan town. The rolls were decent, though prices were quite high (each plate ranged from $4.95 to $7.95, which is pricey compared to Kura where most plates are under $4). Fish quality was decent for conveyor belt sushi, and service was nice and checked on us a couple times throughout the dinner. It also wasn't super crowded either on. Sunday night, so we were glad that we didn't have to wait in line to get seated

Pro tip: Always go for the Daily Special during lunch. You get a taste of different dishes for a good price. They change the special they offer everyday and this can be found right when you enter their door. There will either be a sample plate or description.

Outstanding sushi! However, half of our party got their food 30 minutes ahead of the other half! Either y'all need to order sushi, or y'all need to order from the kitchen (or be willing to enjoy a 90 minute meal with half of your party watching you eat.) However, I suspect this is only an issue with larger parties. Complimentary mini scoop of ice cream included with your meal. Street parking only.

Went here with my boyfriend on a Monday! I've been wanting to come here for a while and am glad I finally got to check it out. The servers and chefs were very attentive and welcoming! 10/10 service and an extra 10 for the complimentary ice cream that you are served after your meal :) Sushi Maru is now my boyfriend and I's favorite sushi spot!

1 hour wait after we called in and staffed stated it would only take 15-20 minutes. Service was not accommodating and slow.

Our go-to sushi spot! We love the energy the staff has, very fun and helpful! Food is also delicious. So delicious I spent more time actually eating than taking the photos! Although we did manage to get a pic of the sweet shrimp my boyfriend made after I ate it

Wide selection, high-quality food, great service, nice atmosphere - overall a fun time!

As a fan of revolving sushi, I was very excited to try this place. However the sushi pieces on the conveyor belt were a bit disappointing in terms of selection, freshness, and overall flavor. The ones we ordered from the kitchen had way better quality. While I understand the kitchen would inevitably have better selection and freshness, a revolving sushi restaurant's pieces on the conveyor belt should at least meet a minimum expectation, or else I'd just go to a regular Japanese restaurant. Besides the food the staff was super friendly, and the interior was a cute Japanese vibe so I'd still give it 4 stars.

This is a small restaurant which gives it a cozy vibe. The service is excellent and so is the food. I had the bento box with teriyaki chicken and shrimp / veggie tempura. If you want sushi then they have a sushi conveyer belt that you can just grab what you want. If you are in the San Jose Japan town area then this place is a great lunch option.

I'm so glad I stopped here of all places to eat. I loved being able to see the fresh options the chefs were putting on the belt. I really enjoyed every bite of food. The sushi is fresh and affordable. My interactions with the staff were all very pleasant. I can't wait to come back!

A very nice simple spot when you're craving sushi! I think the prices are on the reasonable side here compared to other spots in the bay, not on the expensive side but not cheap either. Quality was good and sushi was fresh. The bento box seems like a really good value. One of our picky eaters really likes the beef teriyaki and karaage. We also got the rainbow don which was fresh. The spicy tuna roll and California rolls were bigger than usual, so they were really good, they just come with 3 rather than 6 at most places. Overall, I'd come back and this may be a new regular spot if we're craving sushi

Sushimaru is always my family's favorite restaurant, to eat Sushi and traditional Japanese food. Fish is fresh and every dishes are so delicious

This is my go to spot for sushi when I am up in San Jose! They are located in Japantown. The owners are Japanese and make an emphasis on having fresh high grade fish. There are many cuts they serve here that you won't find at most sushi places in the states. They do have a revolving sushi counter, but they also do have table service. I recommend sitting at the counter and ordering directly with the sushi chefs. The service is always quick & attentive. It won't be the cheapest meal but it's definitely worth it!

amaaaazing sushi. my friend had been going here for the longest time and weirdly enough i've never been! great prices for good & authentic sushi. our server was very sweet and attentive, i definitely would be visiting back.

I would not mind coming here for a casual Japanese meal, particularly lunch. It's a standard Japanese restaurant aiming for such clientele. For this reason, their bentos are the best value, the rest of probably obligatory menu items. Then I ordered Chirashi bowl (regular, not deluxe). These are sashimi topped rice bowl supposed to show-case the ingredients with light seasoning. Well, I had a reasonable meal that was not memorable. I had some good quality raw fish, and some rice to fill me up. That's pretty much it.

Loved this place! I took my sushi loving German cousin here and she loved it too. She said they don't have good sushi places back home. The sushi to rice ratio was perfect The only bad thing was we couldn't stop picking up plates from the belt Those things add up! $$$$I don't think I can do that too many times because I have no self control. We only picked up plates from the belt. I loved everything except one that was a big roll with a big chunk of egg in it. Sorry don't know what it was... They gave us a small scoop of sorbet at the end. Ours was orange and it tasted exactly like orange Fanta. Parking was metered street parking but it was free at 6:30pm when we went there so that was good. We didn't have to wait for a seat which was a plus too. I can't wait to go back

This is one of my go to sushi restaurants. The service is always amazing, the salmon and nanook nigiri are incredible and I love the oysters along with the spicy Guerro roll! For something refreshing, try the yamaimo. For something melt in your mouth delicious, the toro always serves. And for something unexpectedly delicious, try the chicken skin appetizer! We moved back from Hawaii last year and this is as close as we have found to a the sushi we used to enjoy on the islands. The sushi is fresh and delicious and love this is where you're paying for quality and not the expensive decor.

Yes, absolutely love this place and highly recommended. Haven't been here in over 8 years. Glad they are successfully operating today. They treat customers with passion, respect & care. Excellent service and excellent employees willing to help. Very positive ambiance and good vibes. No lines during opening hour. Immediate seating. Relaxing inside. Sit at a table area or sushi bar. Everyone was very welcoming, friendly & nice to customers. Local residents and local visitors stop by to chat and dine in all the time. Pay at meters for 2-hours maximum street parking or circle around further to find parking within walking distances away. Lots of new condominiums everywhere. Love Japantown because it's always well maintained and looks cleanly sanitized everywhere you go. Everything you see in my photos including taxes, tips, free ice cream, green tea, salad, and miso soup with my entire mixed sashimi combination bento lunch total was around $30 USD (everything combined with my $5 tips into one single bill). Note, they don't accept American Express credit cards these days. Yes, unbeatable. I believe that Vietnamese foods & Korean foods are most expensive nowadays. Japanese foods are usually better options, much healthier, and more satisfying for the cost and value. Sushi Maru is definitely one of my favorite spots to eat/dine in for meals around here. Conveyor belt style sushi still rolling with pride. Perfect atmosphere. I rarely buy takeouts since I cook at home most of the time, but I will make time to check out restaurants and cute places. Staffs checked up on me several times and filled up my hot green tea cup consistently. They were all happy at their jobs. There are still many sashimi and sushi items that I love, but I cannot eat as much as I used to. Love this place very much. Fish are very fresh and served cold. Grilled salmon was good and fine to the bones. The house made beef jerky pieces were excellent. Good portions all items. Strawberry ice cream (free) was too fruity perfect for my tastebud today. I always remember the dining experiences here. Don't forget to get a Sushi Maru stamp card to earn points and food redemptions for next visits. Happy quality foods and excellent experiences at this restaurant for life.

Ugh I just love this spot in Japan town. It is so great and the sushi bar is so much fun! The chefs are great and always attentive. My favorite is the seared salmon nigiri "nanook" It is to die for!
