Yunomi Handroll

Service was great. Their seaweed is top tier. The fish quality is ok for the price - no rolls really stood out.

The food here is seriously delicious, my boyfriend and I always choose Yunomi over other handroll spots. The quality and flavors never disappoint. I do feel like the service could definitely be better. The manager greets you, but walking in the staff that waits on you doesn’t really greet you or check in during the meal. It can be hard to get their attention, and when you do, it feels like you’re being ignored. We also noticed a guy next to us who waited about 5–7 minutes without being acknowledged or offered a menu. We’ll keep coming back for the food, but it’d be great to see the service match the quality of the dishes.

Great eatery - the seaweed is such great quality and the hand rolls we tried were all delicious, hard to pick a favourite.

Not sure why this place doesn’t have more reviews and a higher rating. This place is AMAZING. We were blown away by the flavor and quality of the hand rolls. Everything from the fish, the soya sauce and the wasabi were delicious. It was fun dining at the counter and getting the rolls delivered as they were ready. It was also well priced, around $30ish for a 6 hand roll set which was pretty filling. You must try this!

They would know how to spot if you have any kombucha in your glasses and kick you away, not before the will make sure all the other restaurants know you are heavy kombucha 4.5% alcohol “heavy drinkers”. Intelligence is number one priority!!. Madesino Farms is a great place. Super close.

Really great place for some hand rolls. We got the hand roll set of 6 and all of them were delicious. We also got the Shrimp Tempura and those were pretty good though they had a bit too much sauce. We were pretty full by the end. The service was great as well!

The hand rolls here are delicious and inventive. Unlike many hand roll chains that grind their fish into a fine paste, this spot serves thick cuts or strips, preserving the natural texture and flavor of each variety. The result is a more satisfying and authentic bite that truly highlights the quality of the fish. And whatever you do, order the big crab roll on soy paper. It will change your life. That said, the stark, cold corporate lighting strips away any charm from the dining experience. Don’t come here for the atmosphere, and definitely don’t bring a date—this place is all about the food.

This should say it all: The food was so good I forgot to take pictures!!! This is not like a normal sushi restaurant. While it is in the title, my husband and I did not know what to expect. They have a relatively small menu but obviously optimized for the items offered. The items with the exception of the starters are personal sized. One hand roll can't really be shared as they are uncut. Each of the hand rolls are made in front of you and you can customize if you want it on rice paper or nori. You can also choose between spicy and not. My husband and I found this spot at the end of our trip and are still thinking about it daily!

Amazing service. Fantastic food. Will be coming back anytime I have a hand roll craving!

You know me - Sushi has my heart! The handrolls are CRAZY good. I ordered the spicy albacore and spicy yellowtail, as well as a plain yellowtail. Definitely go with the spicy, otherwise there isn't a ton of flavor. But oh my, they are delicious. The seaweed is super crispy with a hint of salt and everything tastes fresh. The fish itself is just meh - but that works well in a hand roll. The rice is warm, and the fish is cold and it's all perfect. I ordered 3 and that was good for lunch. (Of course I was hungry 3 hours later, but that's sushi) I didn't care for the edamame. The green beans looked delicious and I regret not trying them out. The ambience is good. Service is fine. They are helpful, but not overly bothersome, which I like. If you like to have someone check on you a lot and really "wait" on you, the bar isn't the place for that. The food comes out quick. There is a different menu for the table service, so I can't speak to that. But if you want quick and delicious handrolls at a decent price (my meal was $30 with tip for 3 handrolls and a split edamame), I highly recommend You-Know-Me!

Have been here and eaten inside as well as ordered take out and enjoyed both experiences. I must say in comparison to Kazu Nori, Kazu has a better set menu and (imo) better rolls overall, but what Yunomi has Kazu beat on is their variety/options in rolls and their hot rolls, which are TO DIE FOR! I've had the spider hand roll and not only was there a generous serving of crab, but the flavor was out of this world! The crispy seaweed on the warm rice with the rich crab is heavenly. I also love the tempura roll as well, which is another hot and crispy option. Wait wise if you're coming when it's peak lunch or dinner times, you can expect a wait. Otherwise, it's usually pretty quick as people eat and leave pretty speedily. It is bar seating though, so may not be the best for super young kids or the elderly. Super bright and open space though, but you do sit with strangers, so be prepared for that. When you order to go, you have a more limited selection of cut rolls, but they do offer a great variety. I usually get the biggest offer they have because I'm indulgent, and am never disappointed. I opt for the spicy option and it's usually not overbearing, even for someone who can't handle spice well. Parking is fine. There's a lot right by this spot in the same parking lot as Trader Joe's. If you park directly on the other side of Trader Joe's and use the opposite exit and cross the street, you'll reach Yunomi. Would definitely come back.

Been hearing about this hand roll restaurant for a while and had to try it when it opened up in Culver City. Love the sushi bar setting and also an option for booth seating. Their menu has a good variety of appetizers, rolls and drinks. I love the beer and sake options definitely great compliment to the sushi. The rolls were good size and tasted fresh. I like the option of hot and cold appetizers. The service was quick and liked that the staff had great recommendations.

WOW. I really loved the food here. I'm a Kazunori girlie, but I might have to bump it down on the list for Yunomi Handroll. Ok, that might be too much. Kazunori has classic handrolls that are great quality and simple, while Yunomi has specialty items that are fun and delicious. Different vibes but they're both up there. I met a friend here for dinner here on a Tuesday (they validate parking in the Culver Stairs parking lot btw). I was running pretty late and the wait time kept going up, but I would say that we were seated pretty quickly compared to the anticipated wait time. Like other handroll places, you sit around a sushi bar and watch them make your order. One thing I really liked about this place more than Kazunori is their other food items. There were appetizers that we ordered to share, like the brussel sprouts, crispy rice, and rock shrimp. All the items were so good, but I will be subbing out the crispy rice and rock shrimp next time to try other apps. The star of the trio were the brussel sprouts. Roasted to perfection - tender inside and crispy outside, with a tangy, sweet glaze. For mains, I got three special handrolls: the Yunomi Special (Spicy Albacore, Shrimp Tempura, Crunchy Onions, Truffle Soy), Negi Toro (Chopped Blue Fin (Spain) Fatty Tuna with Green Onions), and soft shell crab. Everything was delicious and paired well with the sauces and seasonings it came with. I don't usually go for the cooked/fried rolls, but The Yunomi Special was delicious, as was the soft shell crab. For the Yunomi Special, the batter on the tempura was light and crispy, paired with the spicy albacore and truffle soy to give a lot of textural variety and layers to the flavor. While the soft shell crab roll was yummy, it lacked depth of flavor. The Negi Toro was great. The nori was crispy, the rice was warm, and the toro mixed with green onions was a classic flavor profile you can't go wrong with. I'll have to come back and try the other menu items. 10/10 would recommend for someone who likes sushi and hand rolls, especially specialty ones. It's a cute interior with casual dining, but also feels like a cool experience. Not great for large groups if you're going to sit at the bar, but I believe they have outdoor table seating as well.

I cant say enough about the amazing customer service in this Downtown Culver City gem Everyone who works there is knowledgeable and friendly! They are quick with getting your orders and getting you the best hand-roll in town. Make sure to ask the chef's if they have a signature roll you can try The modern architecture and music set the mood for any occasion along with being incredibly clean. The fish is beyond fresh and that along with the easy to maneuver menu is what will hit you first when you sit down. 10/10 will always recommend to sushi lovers looking for a new spot to trust!

I had the 5-roll set - tuna, albacore, salmon, scallops, and shrimp tempura. Each roll was better than the previous one, which I didn't think was possible. The Brussels sprouts were crispy & delicious. The sparkling yuzu beverage was refreshing & a perfect compliment. The atmosphere & service were both top notch, and I cannot wait to return!

This is for the to go Box portions: Whoever designed this box deserves a raise because it's the only impressive thing here. The sushi? Bland beyond belief, even after drowning it in all six sauces they threw in to distract me. The fish was practically non-existent, and the pieces were so tiny I thought I ordered a sushi sampler for ants. For $26, I expected way more fish -- not just rice rolled up with my disappointment. Save your money and your appetite.

The food is amazing, each Handroll is comparable to that of Kazu Nori. The albacore handroll is my personal favorite as it contains insatiably fresh fish. The service is great they move very quickly you can easily be out of there in twenty minutes. The ambiance is amazing the inside is decorated minimally but it's well lit, provides a nice feel for lunch. They do dim the lights when it comes time for dinner but they don't dim the lights enough so please consider dimming the lights more during dinner.

Amazing experience from the time we walked in! Service was attentive and personable. We were seated at the bar and able to watch the chefs assembling hand rolls. We started with the rock shrimp tempura (10/10) the shrimp was big, juicy, and perfectly fried. Then we shared with 6 set and added on a softshell crab and unagi handroll. It was perfect spread for us both. The restaurant is bustling and modern. Restrooms are located behind a curtain. Overall, if you're exploring the downtown area this is the perfect spot to stop for a meal. The softshell crab handroll is a must try!

I came here on a Sunday evening around 5pm with my boyfriend and a friend - it was pretty busy so we waited for around 15 minutes to be seated! There's tons of seating outside but we wanted to sit at the high top for the experience and that was well worth the wait. I hadn't had handrolls before so this was a really cool new food experience for me! I got 3 different handrolls: shrimp tempura, baked crab, and spicy tuna & shrimp tempura. I think my favorite was the spicy tuna & shrimp tempura (however, ALL the rolls I had were seriously great). I think what surprised me the most was actually being comfortably full after those 3 rolls and some edamame. All the rolls were equally flavorful and where we were seating, we actually got to watch the handroller make it - so cool! The workers were soooo incredibly nice, they created such a fun, conversational atmosphere and I really loved how much they actually chatted with each person at the high top - it felt like we were all having dinner as a big family haha For my 3 rolls and my boyfriend's 3 rolls and drink, it was around $54 before tip so decent price for an super delicious sushi!

This review is specifically about their delivery service. My advice? Just skip it. I've seen all the glowing reviews about this place, and I'm sure it's great if you dine in. However, the portion sizes for delivery are shockingly small. I ordered the three-cut roll and sashimi box, and I'm still hungry. The rolls are so tiny that they make my hand look huge--and for reference, I'm a petite 5'1" and 100 pounds chick. Honestly, the portions look like they're meant for my cat. All this for $40 (including tax, tip, and Uber Eats nonsense fees). To the restaurant: Please consider making your rolls/shashimi a bit larger for the price. The quality of the food is good, so don't let that go to waste with such small portions!

Highly enjoyed Yunomi! Came on a Sunday night with a friend - I had put our name down on the Yelp waitlist beforehand but it was pretty slow so probably unnecessary considering it was a Sunday. All the fish was very fresh, and the rolls were a great balance of rice, nori and fish. Like others have said the rock shrimp tempura definitely rivals nobu! There are hooks under the chair if you're sitting at the bar, which is a nice touch, but a little unhelpful if you have a long coat. Parking was decent because you can park at the culver city steps and the restaurants validates. Overall, really enjoyed. Will be back!

I've been ordering to go from here for months and it's been extremely good today. I finally got to go and eat in person and it was even better. The ambience is nice clean simple the staff is great and fast and the fish is so fresh. everything is so well done I will continue to share about it And I will be back.

The handrolls were pretty solid and these are only offered at the bar. They offer you a compressed hand towel at the start. The bathroom also has a separate outside sink so plenty of chances to get your hands clean. Got the 6 piece handroll set but I eat a lot so it felt like appetizers. Tried the tuna, albacore, salmon, yellowtail, scallop, and shrimp tempura. Winner = shrimp tempura Second favorite = scallop Loved that there was a soy wrapper option because I'm not a fan of seaweed. Even Kazunori doesn't offer that. The server we had initially was really friendly. She even offered to do the spicy mayo on the side when my friend asked questions about the spice levels. The chef didn't interact with us much except to drop off the rolls so it was tough asking her questions. Bar area felt very clean and quiet. Had great convos with my friends and felt private enough sitting on the corner of the bar. Parking is convenient downstairs at the Culver Steps lot and they validate 90 min.

Love this spot for handrolls in Culver City. It's comparable to Kazunori but they also serve appetizers in addition to handrolls. The ambiance is nice, clean, and modern. One of the best things about this place is that they have a yelp waitlist. Highly recommend signing up on the waitlist in advance since the wait does tend to get long. For the handrolls, you get a choice of spicy or non spicy and seaweed or soy paper. I get the non spicy and seaweed and I ask for the spicy dipping sauce on the side. The fish here is super fresh. I usually get full off of around 5 handrolls so the set is perfect. For appetizers, I really like the Albacore Crispy Rice. It definitely surprised me and tastes way better than it looks visually. The Rock Shrimp is also yummy. Solid spot for a yummy meal in Culver.

Visited Yunomi Handroll visiting downtown Culver City. Since me and my boyfriend were staying at a hotel nearby, we searched for the closest sushi restaurant. When we visited, it wasn't too crowded and we were easily escorted to the sushi bar area. They have a select amount of options on the menu. All the rolls are curated as hand rolls. We also decided to try their sake and Sapporo along with our rolls . Food was pretty good, nice clean vibes inside. If we were ever in the area, we would definitely try again.

Omg. This place used to be the spot for a good time and some handrolls. The staff was endearing, friendly and caring. Today, the staff couldn't stop bitching about their shift, the service was asinine and slow. The food is still pleasant and the prices are great but like the vibe was TRASH!

OMG - the most delicious yumminess. Near perfect casual eating experience. Easy online wait list for only bar seating. The loveliest servers and perfect handrolls delivered one by one to your spot. Want to go again and again.

While the line can be a little long, this spot is worth the wait! Fantastic vegetable appetizers and I would say that the roles are a cut above kazu nori. I would absolutely recommend adding it into your dining matrix.

This was a good hand roll spot with a large countertop and prompt service. This was the first place I have tried Korean seaweed, which they marketed as the spicy version of each hand roll. I liked it though found this seaweed saltier than the Japanese kind. All the prices were reasonable as well and we didn't have to wait at all. There was also validated parking available in the garage next door which was nice.

Good service and better food and menu compared to Kazunori. I'm happy there wasn't a wait on a random weekday. The food and service were just fine, will work in a pinch if you're from out of town and don't know where to eat, but nothing to go out of your way for.

Wow, so genuinely happy that I live so close to a handroll place that is very comparable to Kazunori, located in a vibrant area (i.e. Culver City Steps, just one elevator up from the parking lot), AND with barely any wait! The servers were all very attentive too. As mentioned before, I've been to several handroll places and nothing has ever topped or even compared to the quality you get at Kazunori, and I'm glad to say Yunomi finally did! The rice is warm and had perfect sushi rice texture, they give you LOTS of fish in the handrolls (and you can really taste the quality of the fish & how fresh it is), and it is all very reasonably priced. As an appetizer, I ordered the Spicy Albacore Crispy Rice, which was topped with a massive amount of freshly fried onions, and they were AMAZING; so flavorful & crispy. I also shared the Shishito Peppers & the Sauteed Green Beans -- both piping hot when they came out and very tasty. For the handrolls, I ordered the 3-piece set & all of them were a good size (left full afterwards) and taste wise 10/10, especially the shrimp tempura since it's freshly fried for you. Yunomi has managed to find the perfect ratio between rice & protein, as well as the perfect balance between temperature of the warm rice & cold, fresh fish. I will definitely be back :)

Loved everything about this restaurant. They have the bar seating and patio seating in the front of the restaurant. We chose the bar seating so loved seeing the chefs make our sushi. Service was very friendly and attentive and food was brought out very promptly. They have some preset handroll options but we chose to order a la cart. Loved every handroll roll we ordered but my favorite was the albacore over crispy rice. For the handroll you can choose between seaweed or soy paper, I'm a fan of soy paper so it was nice to have this option.

Stumbled upon this place on accident. They have the best hand rolls my friend and I have ever had! We enjoyed sitting at the counter. The food was super fresh and flavorful. Will definitely return!

Lively and intimate evening spot, it was everything I wanted in a handroll and more!! The staff were really kind + considerate and timed all of the rolls perfectly.

My husband and I came here on a Monday night around 6 pm. We were seated immediately when we arrived as there was no line. Yunomi is a newly-opened handroll restaurant in downtown Culver City. It's a small restaurant with modern decor that has counter seating and some outdoor tables. They had options for a la carte ordering and a range of set menus. Service was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed our sushi here and found it to be good, but not amazing. It's a solid choice if you're craving sushi in Culver City at an inexpensive price point.

I LOVE Yunomi! After trying the DTLA location, I was so excited to find another good hand roll spot in LA but it was so far from me. I'm so glad they opened a location in Culver City. The hand rolls are great, the staff is wonderful and it's not loud inside. I will note that you can only order hand rolls if you sit at the bar and nigiri if you sit outside. There's never a crazy wait either!

Great food in the heart of Culver City! Service was amazing and our server was so helpful in helping us walk through the menu. The hand rolls were phenomenal. However, I gotta also recommend the hot food as well. The shrimp and crispy rice were to die for. Overall, will be back for sure. Great experience

The handrolls were so fresh and delicious but what stood out the most was the amazing service! Staff was so friendly and I will definitely be coming back. My only suggestion is to dim the lights for sexy dinner vibes.

This place was honestly not good at all. Service was weird. The guy at the bar just walked up and started at up for a minute and didn't say anything until I said "we have never been here before... what do you recommend?" Seaweed paper is not traditional for hand rolls like at Kazu Nori, I would just go there instead. It's probably faster to sit too since this place is pretty small. The tuna has no seasoning it's just plan and the salmon only has sesame seeds, no sauce as well. So it's basically all plan fish on rice on seaweed that is tough. Save your $ and choose somewhere else...

My wife, daughter and I went here for a midweek dinner. We joined the waitlist when we left for the restaurant, and it worked perfectly. The seats opened up when we arrived. I really liked the decor of the restaurant, and they had several waiters and waitresses taking care of everything. We had the Hitachino Yuzu Lager, Six Handroll Set, Negitoro, Blue Crab, Spicy Albacore, Yunomi Special and the Rock Schrimp Tempura. It was all excellent. They also have a very good selection of Japanese beer and it was excellent too. We really enjoyed our visit and I plan to go back again. I definitely recommend this restaurant.

I REALLY enjoy being able to love my name on a waitlist before coming here because it makes it worth it. Hard to compare this place to Kazunori but I think Kazunori has it beat when it comes to handrolls. I feel like the shrimp tempura makes this place seem a little cheap to have that in the selection when Kazu has blue crab and lobster. Both around the same price. I do like how this place has more of a selection outside of just handrolls. Everything here still taste great though been here about 4 times!

Wow what an experience and amazing food. Love the interior seating. Fast service. Amazing food. Everything tastes fresh and great options. A must try place for sushi lovers.

If you go to this restaurant I HIGHLY recommend making a yelp reservation the day of,, prior to going because the wait time is crazy. But to be honest, my experience was an outlier because it rained that day so the only available seating was inside since the outside tables were wet... but I digress. I did enjoy their most popular appetizer: ROCK SHRIMP TEMPURA. It was super saucy yet crunchy! If that bowl wasn't $16, I would've ordered another! Rolls we ordered: -YELLOWTAIL -BLUE CRAB -SOFT SHELL CRAB -YUNOMI SPECIAL -NEGI TORO -SPICY SHRIMP & SNOWCRAB they were all yummy, but the stand out rolls were SPICY SHRIMP & SNOWCRAB and NEGI TORO roll! I wouldn't go here if you expect yourself to leave feeling full from the food alone! the price tags are justified,, but i wouldn't go there to be satiated

Located at the Steps in Culver City. Yunomi serves some of the freshest handrolls, with a bustling atmosphere. There is bar seating and outdoor patio seating. A great selection of handrolls to choose from. I went with the spicy Four Handroll Set, which costs about $22. Very filling and tasty. The Edamame green beans are very delicious as well. I will definitely be back!

A longtime Culver City connoisseur, sushi options (aside from Uzumaki and Fin which are also good but different vibes) have been lacking. Enter Yunomi, the obsession that's been fueling me for months. Always fresh and flavorful, reasonably priced, and an ever attentive staff at the bar, this is my hands down new favorite spot. The hand roll sets are great- I personally love the Korean seaweed and non spicy (but I ask for spicy sauce on the side so I can chart my own course). The shrimp tempura hand roll's awesome. And crispy rice spicy albacore is really good here. Tip: If going during peak hours, check the wait time online first, and join the waitlist in advance to skip the line. Tip: I believe they validate for the culver steps lot, but since that can get busy and full, I park at the Trader Joe's lot across the street since it's always easy to park and you're generally in and out of Yunomi well under an hour.

All of the hand rolls were very tasty. My favorite was the salmon and albacore. The fish quality was good and each bite was perfect with crisp seaweed and soft warm rice. I really enjoyed the fried spicy rock shrimp as an appetizer. I would definitely order again! Shishito peppers were also solid but nothing special. I want to try the green beans next time. Sitting around the bar is close with strangers but not too crammed. Service was good constantly refilling our waters. If you're in the area I would check it out. People compare this place to Kazunori, I personally enjoyed this one more because of the hot items and appetizers.

I ordered the rock shrimp tempura and the 5 handroll set. I loved everything I ordered. The rock shrimp tempura was delicious. My favorite hand rolls were the albacore and the shrimp tempura, but they were all high quality and tasted great. The restaurant had stool seating and counter service. I liked the ambience and the chill music they played. I'd definitely come back here.

The hand rolls are so good! I loved the baked crab one - out of the yunomi special and the spicy shrimp & crab. The albacore crispy rice was also a star. I thought the spicy sashimi wasn't that spicy but then I like things super spicy. The shrimp tempura hand roll and avocado rolls were all solid. Kid friendly as the servers were so sweet to my girls - even gave them an extra hand towel which was a fav. The service is pretty fast too. If you're hungry 3 hand roll they have sets of 3 is good add an appetizer or hand roll if you're super hungry. I didn't get the rock shrimp but it looked amazing! Free hour parking at culver steps $1 after for every 30 mins. You can also order a La Carte for takeaway they have two sushi chefs making it at the bar and one specifically for takeaway

SO GOOD!!! Perfect location at the Culver Steps. Make sure to join the yelp waitlist before heading there because the wait gets pretty long! 6 handrolls was the perfect amount. I highly reccommend making your handrolls spicy, they make those on korean seaweed which has less of a chew but more of a crunch. The minimal amount of spice makes the rolls more fun & tasty.

We Ordered the tuna crispy rice (a classic, very good) the popcorn shrimp (was amazing), and two each of the salmon hand roll (came on a lower quality seaweed then the others which was weird but it was still decent), toro hand roll (classic), blue crab hand roll (was fishier than other blue crab I've had), cucumber hand roll (good). It was about $100 for two people. Ambiance was clean and nice. Overall I think kazunori is still the best when it comes to hand rolls for quality + price, but this place is good for what it is in the downtown area of Culver City. It's located behind the erewhon so a little hard to find. It's still come back perhaps if I'm in the area and want hand rolls.

This place is good! Don't expect to be completely full, but the flavors and craftsmanship is fantastic. The fish provided are fresh, clean, and simple. No gimmicks, just rice, fish, a bit of flavor, in a nori. You're allowed to change the fish in the combination orders, so if you want to try different fish, go for it! I thought the service was nice, as each handroll is made to order and placed in front of you. I do wish there was more food though!!

Let me just start by saying that I can't give it a 5. It's a solid 4 Atmosphere is pleasant. But I have to warn you, Not a a place to come solo as this place is to come enjoy the atmosphere with some one. They take their time serving you. At least at the bar they do. The roles are okay. I've had better but they are fresh. I guess the seaweed is not my favorite because is not crunchy like others I've tried. However the rice has good taste. I will be going back tho, hopefully they are more attentive even if I'm by my self next time I'm there. Hope this helps. Happy handroll hunting

I ordered online-to-go bento boxes. They were ready quickly and were so fun to eat! The fish was all super fresh-tasting and the staff member I interacted with was efficient and friendly. The menu was easy to navigate too. We sat in the Culver Steps plaza on a chilly night and took in the scene before our movie. Perfect meal!

This is the sister location of the Yunomi located in the Arts District/Little Tokyo area, and I am SO SO glad that they opened another location!!! There's just something about this place - the friendliness of the servers/chefs, the ambiance of the well-lit sushi bar, the freshness (and taste!!) of the fish - that I really enjoy. While Kazunori might be the more established chain of handrolls in the area, I truly believe Yunomi has better quality food for comparable prices. I've come here multiple times on the weekend and there has been almost no wait - we were seated and served immediately. They have QR code menus that you can scan as the servers provide you with hand towels, and they are very knowledgeable about the different items/teas on the menu so feel free to ask questions! It's also great how you can customize your hand rolls to suit your tastes - you can choose between Japanese or Korean nori, or soy paper, as well as if you'd like it spicy or not spicy! The spicy option isn't really spicy though (probably like a 1/10 spiciness) but they do provide ginger and wasabi for extra garnish. I've tried a few of their appetizers and, while the fish is fresh, I really do just come here for the hand roll sets - which leave you feeling decently full. Would highly recommend!!!

We were from out of town and staying at the Culver Hotel for a birthday party. We wanted a quick lite bite and this establishment had high stars. We went during lunchtime and we were seated at the bar due to lack of staff, so the patio was not open. We were told that only the bar menu was available because the full kitchen menu could not be made because of the short staffing. We had the seaweed salad and ceviche, which were very tasty. We then had some of the hand rolls that are server recommended. Everything was good and they definitely earned their stars. I took away one just for the fact that I could not order what I originally went there for because they were shortstaffed. If I am ever in town again, I may try them again and hopefully I can try the items on the regular menu.

Ambiance: it's a modern Japanese restaurant, crowded seating in large U shape bar table, the reception inside is bad and barley could access the digital menu, so quite a few tables had to ask for the print menu Service: fast but unpleasant, and felt very rushed, they made something wrong on my order, without expressing or saying sorry for their mistake at all, although they fixed it after I pointed out, shockingly they recycled the ingredients from that wrong order Food: simple menu for appetizers and hand rolls, you choose the wrap of seaweed or soy paper, and spicy level, the seaweed wraps and rice were great, however, the hand rolls were so loosely wrapped and poorly presented, the chef working here doesn't seem have the proper techniques to make the roll right, let alone they don't serve authentic Japanese food here Tuna - *** average Albacore - *** average Salmon - **** recommend Yellowtail - ** not fresh, very fishy smell Scallop - **** recommend Shrimp Tempura - average Soft Shell Crab - * overly fried, and the crab tasted old and soggy Price: small portions and stingy on raw fish, overpriced for the service and lackluster quality, expect $25~$30 per person. I had been looking forward to this place since its construction, but overall, it's a very disappointing experience.

Very good hand roll bar! Love their selection of bottled beer ambience is cool, great tasting fish, nice as a date spot!
