    Great sushi restaurant. Our food looked and tasted incredible. I ordered the Hey Mama and my partner ordered a teriyaki rice bowl and Mango Mania (I think that's what it's called?). The menu has a pretty good variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Additionally, the restaurant offers both outdoor amd indoor seating. You might have to park in a nearby parking garage to visit this restaurant. Luckily, my partner and I managed to snatch a one hour lot next to the restaurant.

    Delicious and the staff was WONDERFUL. Our waiter was extremely friendly and accommodating and made our first time here a great one. The rolls we ordered were packed with fresh fish and tasted delicious. We asked if we could add a little crunch on a roll and he offered thinny sliced lemon and peppers. We went with lemon and jalapeños for one roll. Delicious! The food was extremely well presented. We don't live within 30 minutes but I'm sure we'll stop by when we are near tower. Definitely worth returning! We sat on the patio around 6pm-8pm and it was very quiet & peaceful with a lot of greenery. Outdoor seating was very nice :) We loved the jalapeño bombs appetizer. A lovely & fresher twist on jalapeño poppers. They had beer, wine, soju, & sake. Overall great little place!

    Food was great. Next time I will pay attention to their hours of operation. Parking is limited.

    I like to come after work hours when meters are free. There is a good amount of meter parking available since most surrounding businesses are closed after work hours. There are indoor, outdoor and bar seating. Service is always attentive and patient. Staff are knowledgeable of menu and ingredients. Food comes in reasonable amount of time and water is always topped off. Casual, relaxed and authentic atmosphere. My favorite thing to order is Spoons.

    We waited 10 minutes to get the menu and another 25-30 minutes just to receive the food (which were only 2 rolls), and another 10 minute for the bill. We did come in during a busy time, but all the tables were getting served except ours. When I went and asked about it, many of the workers were just standing around and chatting. The sushi itself was pretty good, but it was just sushi, nothing special. The wait was not worth it.

    I've been here before with coworkers and liked the food so I decided to come back. When I asked how long the wait would be for one roll he said 10 minutes. It actually took 35 minutes and the ppl before me looked irritated since they've been waiting a while. Good food but the wait was too long and they're light on the sauce.

    Very small and quaint place for sushi. I had come here from the recommendation of my boss who used to eat here all the time. I had a mixed tempura and a roll with hamachi. The atmosphere was quiet and the service was good. It is casual dining. It would be a place to bring a first date. My food was very good and I can’t wait to come back to try something else. I’ve been to many of the sushi spots and it very hard to pick a place that knocks my socks off but this one is worth coming to again.

    Not as good as it use to be. This use to be one of my favorite places to eat when working downtown. In the last 3 years the prices have doubled and the portion size of their bowls has been cut in half. And the food does not seem to be the same quality. I know the economy has been hard on restaurants, but this seems to be much more than the average. I will still order hear every few months because the staff is nice, but not weekly like I use too.

    The crab rangoons were a little too crispy, a bit of a hard bite, so maybe they need a little less time in frying. The gyoza were good, nothing special. The stuffed appetizer was delicious. It was our favorite dish from dining here. The rolls were okay, not very flavorful and not worth it for me. Service was good for the most part. Did have to grab our server's attention for some more water and the check. Edit: visited August 8th

    Delicious food, and the presentation was beautiful.

  • 5/5 Arthur S. 11 months ago on Google
    Definitely the best sushi in Fresno. The staff is great and they are always trying out specials and will make pretty much whatever you want. We we’re happy with all of our rolls and the staff took good care of us

    Waited about an hour to get our sushi rolls, expecting bento boxes to come shortly after. We ended up cancelling the boxes. Just could not wait any longer. Sushi was really good, but dining experience left sour taste in our mouths.

  • 3/5 David K. 1 year ago on Google
    The sushi here is delicious. The chef is a master at their craft. The service, though, well, I've had better at Burger King. The staff forgets to put your order in, forgets to bring you the basics like Wasabi and ginger. You'll be wondering where the service is and you'll find the staff hanging out, gossiping and watching videos on their phone. My advice, get your order to go. Especially if you are on a lunch break since it'll take a while to get your food.

    Great quality of sushi and very friendly staff!

  • 4/5 Angel V. 1 year ago on Google
    We've been there twice in for dinner. Although the staff is friendly and the sushi is wonderful, they take soo long to serve it. I wish it was a little faster. Other than, that no complaints.

    Super delicious rolls! The OMG roll is unlike any I've seen, and the flavor is addicting. Everyone who works there is so kind and warm. Best sushi I've had in fresno

    This is my favorite restaurant to go to downtown when I want to treat myself to something really delicious. There is a good variety for those who are sushi enthusiasts or if you want something a little less fancy. They have all the classics and are fast even when it's packed so you're in and out in less than an hour. I recommend the Bento Boxes or the Udon Bowl. Or you know you can never go wrong with a sushi roll.

    I went here on Sunday at 7pm absolutely loved the food. I got the shark, tiger and California rolls and they we're absolutely delicious. Loved the shark rolls my husband and I found our sushi spot. Definitely will be going back again.

    This place is a really small indoor space but also has a patio outside where you can enjoy the food. It is a stable in the local area and right next to the convention center. The patio is also right in front of the fountain there. It is a pretty great place to go and enjoy. The sushi is great. The rice taste amazing and the fish is fresh.

  • 1/5 Alex B. 1 year ago on Google
    The 24 piece sashimi plate was distasteful. The sashimi plate came out with jalapeño, shredded beats and a salad covered in dressing on the same plate. The salad dressing was mixing with the sashimi. Pieces were covered in this brown sauce which was unnecessary. It really ruined the taste of it. The quality of the fish was terrible and the pieces were extremely thin. Would not recommend for sushi and sashimi lovers. Best advice is to keep it simple with shredded daikon, shiso leaves, a sliced lemon here or there, thicker slices and separate the salad. Their service was fine, but it seemed like the other server was having difficulties doing the job. It was seriously over priced for the quality.

    Best sushi in Fresno in my opinion. I've never had a bad meal here and the fish is always fresh and delicious. Staff is attentive and nice as well.

  • 1/5 Julie N. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service. I ordered salmon hand roll and the person over the phone wrote it down as spicy tuna. I was not paying attention and left with the wrong order. How can you mix up salmon and tuna? This is not the only time they screwed up my order. I will never go there again.

    The service was amazing! The owner and workers were so kind. The food was delicious. Their sushi was the best I've ever had so far.

  • 5/5 Alisa T. 5 years ago on Google
    The food is SO good. I highly recommend the sunomono. (Either one) their sushi rolls are fast and reasonably priced. I went there two days in a row.
