Ponzu Sushi Bar

First time here was a great experience with my wife and I for date night! The staff was very sweet and sat us down right away for our reservation! Welcoming and were consistently checking on us to make sure we were taken care of.Now, the food and the rolls! We picked the Red Crunchy, Pay Day, and the Spicy Atlantic. Appetizers, we got Miso soups and the Tokyo Nacho! The Tokyo Nacho - HIGHLY Recommend! Had some great chili oil and miso sauce on top of the spicy tuna and great flavor! The rolls were also absolutely phenomenal and packed a good punch with the chili oil! Pay Day was tangy and had a good tart to it. The Spicy Atlantic and the Red Crunchy great flavors and sauces as well but not as different from other rolls we have had BUT still great flavor and quality!Dining area is very clean and very nice lighting to set the mood.Would recommend to friends and already have to our group of foodies! Thank you for a wonderful and good time!

I'm sorry but service can improve dramatically. Decided to have sushi with my wife Saturday night. We've been here plenty of times before and service has been declining. Checked in and we were skipped luckily i was inside the restaurant waiting and called them out on it. Some server said she had called but which was a lie i was literally in front of her the whole time. Upon being seated we waited over 10mins for someone to finally offer to take our order, which of course they forgot two of rolls( one of them was on the counter for sometime). At this point we were already regretting going to dinner there with the poor service. But wait there's more! Servers kept passing by while our drinks were empty, our last roll i was about to cancel it and ask for the bill and that's when they finally decided to bring it to our table. Yes we ate it and paid for it. Didn't want a scene but for sure i wouldn't be going back after the horrible service we were giving. Taste wise it was my favorite place to go to. But unfortunately bad service is unacceptable to me.

Found out about this sushi place through social media and the food was overhyped.We ordered the salmon truffle sashimi, sunrise on 17th street, sushi, and a quail egg shooter. The quality wasn't consistent across the items. Points for good service and food presentation.

This place really gets busy but it's more than obvious of why. Food is great quality and love that chefs are making everything in front of you. Not a place to go quick for lunch, as it will probably be a little longer to get serviced and food. Good spot if you're looking for sushi!

One of my favorite sushi places! Great tasting food! The spicy edamame is definitely great in taste, I will say it's not actually spicy but rich in flavor ! A must try ! Staff is very attentive and welcoming !

Above average sushi for above average price lol. Not cheap, but good quality fish. I was especially impressed by the salmon. The texture of the fish was very good.The spicy tuna items were just okay though- not bad, but nothing special above other sushi restaurants. Very attentive staff, had my water refilled plenty of times

This place never disappoints! Their food is amazing along with their service! We've been here multiple times and their sushi is always fresh. It's a relatively small space but if you call ahead they usually can reserve a table for you.

Tasty sushi and good service in an intimate setting. We were in the area and saw how good the reviews were for this place and decided to check it out. The sushi is clean and fresh, and the rolls were packed with different textures and flavors. The highlight dishes for me were definitely their Ponzu roll and Long Beach rolls. We also ordered the Super Octopus roll which was just okay to me, and the special salmon truffle sushi which I liked but my boyfriend loved. Needless to say, their specialty is their ponzu sauce, which is delicious!

A great find. Food is pretty good quality and service is also good. They get very busy but now they have reservations. It's a nice little spot. Give them a try.

We went there for my birthday and had reservations, but for some reason had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. For Friday night, they had a full place and just two servers, so unfortunately we did not get much attention and had to chase our waiter for pretty anything we needed or wanted. The food was quite good. The sashimi plate was fresh and flavorful, the oyster shots were pretty unique and fatty tuna melted in our mouths. The biggest disappointment was the pineapple sake, which was regular sake mixed with... pineapple soda! Who would ruin sake this way?! The waitress was surprised we did not know it would come out this way and did not offer any substitutions. She also did not know where the fish was sourced from nor could she confirm that the fish used for sushi was fresh... So perhaps getting some basics training there would be beneficial. The food was good, but service was just not up to par, unfortunately...
