Yokohama

Unfortunately, our last visit was less than exemplary. Throughout the entire time, 5 years, this time was super disappointing. We arrived just after 5pm. It was completely last minute idea to stop and have dinner. When we arrived there was only another family of 3 there. They ordered than we ordered. The order took easily 45 minutes to get to our table. I was surprised as to why it was so slow. Turns out they were mostly busy filling pickup orders. We saw people coming in to pick up orders. By 6:15 it started to get a little more busy with at least 5 more people sitting down to eat. The people dining in were clearly put on the back burner. Disappointing. This has never happened. When our order arrived we discovered the sushi we always order, Tijuana roll and Spicy Salmon roll were not made well. The rolls were mostly rice. Nothing compared to what we had before. They did remake them for us, but still not the up to par with what we've had before. He put tons of mayo sauce on the Tijuana roll. There use to be a different sushi chef, so perhaps this was the situation? Not sure. While we sat for the role to be remade, I was shocked to hear one of the lady servers on the phone asking the customer to please bring the order back because they were given the wrong order. What! The customer and her son returned with a huge bag and the lady employee, apologized for the mistake. Ok? Hmm.I don't think we'll be back.

We've been here many times & it's always good. There are many menu choices, our fav's are the Spicy Salmon Roll with green onion substituted for the lettuce and the Tijuana Roll with it's jalapeno & dab of Sriracha on top.There is indoor & outdoor seating plus service is quick and friendly.with background music of different types. It's a casual space with a mix of age groups, families, dates, & friends meeting up.If street parking happens to be limited you'll find parking in back or a huge parking lot two streets behind.

Lived in Los Gatos my life and never came here. What a mistake! The service was quick and very nice. We got seated right away at a nice table and helped almost immediately. I ordered the Gypsy Roll and it was fabulous!!! The macadamia nuts are such a good add in the roll. My boyfriend got the Logan Roll with Hamachi inside instead of Salmon and the Hamachi Kamikaze roll. He loved both of them.

Sunday night, empty restaurant, I was the only customer besides some pick up and DoorDash orders.Service was not friendly, it took the waitress about four minutes to realize that anyone had even come in. The chef was focused on the meals he was preparing & chatted with the other employees in another language. I don't know, they didn't seem happy to have a dine-in customer and it showed in their interactions.The food was old, definitely not fresh, except for the lemon that came with the cucumber salad. However, on that salad, I found three hairs that did not belong to me. I ordered the taste of heaven and the red dragon roll. Both of which the fish did not taste fresh, slimey with an unnatural texture, and there was significantly more rice than anything else on the sushi rolls. It took considerable chewing to get through the taste of heaven.I was unable to finish the red dragon because I was starting to get a gag reflex from the taste of the fish and old or expired fillings and toppings. The role was falling apart on itself, rice had to have been old because it had lost all of its stickiness. The ambience definitely felt like it was a to go restaurant, but pricey. $55 for the food pictured including a small Sapporo and miso soup.Miso soup came at the very end of the meal, not what I'm used to as far as Japanese dining goes. The tofu in the soup was falling apart and slightly brown.This is the only time in recent memory that I have left a sushi roll un eaten. It might be better when the restaurant is busier, but I doubt it if they are leaving hairs in their cucumber salad with only one customer to tend to. Little attention to detail. Definitely wasn't from me because I had a hat on and I don't have black hair. Gross...1/5

I was in desperate need of sushi so I asked if they were open and came in and sat at the sushi bar. I ordered a sunomono salad with real crab and a salmon hand roll. The sushi chef made it perfectly and threw in extra bonito flakes.

I might've just found my new go-to sushi spot! From traditional rolls to specialty rolls, the sushi options were plentiful. So plentiful that it was pretty difficult to decide what to order. I ended up going with the Bob's Brother Roll, and what a great decision that was. This roll was HUGE and absolutely delicious. After eating it and some edamame I was stuffed. The fish was fresh and the roll was full of flavor. Came to dine in on a weekday evening and there was plenty of seating available both it and outside. We opted for inside due to the wind, but would definitely sit on the patio on a nice night. It wasn't crowded so the sushi came up in what felt like minutes. But the rolls were not hastily put together, everything was presented nicely and the rolls really stick together. Excited to come back here and try some more rolls!

Extremely disappointed with the Sushi Combo I got here for the hubby and I. First off, they seem to have significantly raised their prices. 10 Months ago, the Sushi Combo was $5 less than what they charged me today ($31.95). I know cost of living is going up, but that's a steep dump.Second, I was sad to see that they gave me two pieces of salmon. While the fish was good, I was sad to see the lack of variety.Lastly, virtually everything that came with the combo (with the exception of the miso soup) had an issue. The lettuce used for their salad was not fresh; the avocado in their Cali rolls was brown; some of the fish tasted old, and the tuna left an odd pink stain on the rice (I love tuna and have never seen this before). The worst part is their Sushi rice: it has zero flavor and falls apart when you pick it up. Very sad.I would have loved to support this local shop (prefer to shop small), but this was so bad, I won't be back.

Nice service. The sushi is just not as described in the menu. The $11 super spicy roll had some puffed rice like cereal on it and little to no sauce. Still, it was way better than the $20 Orange Blossom roll that is literally crab, cucumber, and salmon...drizzled in mayo. That was not what I read in the menu. There is far better sushi down the street despite the yelp score. I tried a new thing instead of the trusted place and once is enough here.

Fish wasn't fresh and poorly cut. For the price i would rather prepare my own sushi....
