Experience Through Their Eyes

This place was so delicious! The rice was perfectly steamed and had a really nice soft texture, and the raw fish was really soft and had a nice texture and a really nice subtle flavor, not too fishy at all. The miso soup as well was perfect! So many places make there miso soup WAY too salty, but I feel like this one was the perfect balance :) and had a wonderful savory flavor which was complemented by the green onions in it. The green tea was also super yummy! It wasn't bitter and didn't taste fishy, it was just really nice and calming. The ribs were super tender and tasted great, fell off the bone pretty nicely. Staff were super nice and food didn't take too long to come out, and the bathrooms were very clean. It was all around just super yummy and I totally recommend this place! I want to come back to this place at some point for sure.

My wife and I love eating here. It's a convenient location on F street (and 6th). The find is delicious and affordable. Besides the great sushi, there are GoRgEoUs paintings on the walls that we love to look at. I highly recommend you try this restaurant next time you are going out to eat. 10 stars!

I’ve been going to this place like once a week since i moved to Eureka a year ago. I LOOOVE it. Their chicken katsu is amazing. Really good miso soup, and my favorite is their fried rice. omg. just amazing. Also their ramen is really well done and they offer vegan options. I dont like sushi but my boyfriend says that theirs is really good too. I just love this place so much

First time I went here they just got fish in!! Super delicious and wonderful staff. Sat outside and wasn't over crowded. Went a second time and it must of been an end of the night kind of deal but kept going back because it was just too good the first time and they never disappointed!! 😊😊

The food we ordered was pretty good, the only thing I didn't like was the chicken skewer. We had the katsu chicken bento box, California Roll and shoyu ramen

Looks are deceiving with this place. Everything is well priced and you can't go wrong with $4 beers. Sushi was excellent as well as service. Definitely worth a try. I do gotta say though the mash potatoes really threw us off lmao
