Excellent. High quality.
The lunch special is amazing. Get there early
I arrived around 11:20 AM and was told there was a 30-minute wait. The restaurant was bustling with customers and staff, indicating it was a popular spot. When ordering the premium and regular sushi sets, I was asked in Japanese, "Would you like a drink?" I replied, "No, just hot tea, please." The tea and miso soup arrived before the sushi, and the sushi came about 15 minutes later. Unfortunately, the miso soup was already cold. The sushi itself was tasty. However, at checkout, I was charged $2.50 for the hot tea! It felt like an old-school Hawaiian scam, haha. I asked the staff about it, and they insisted it was written on the menu. I found it amusing, so I paid. If they can speak Japanese and understand Japanese culture that well, they should at least say something when taking the order – that it's not free!
