    Our server was awesome! Just super nice, checked on us, recommended us special items - he made the dining experience a whole level up! I love the outdoor patio, it's not very common for sushi restaurants to have one so this is a huge plus. The items are on the more expensive side, with rolls being ~$20. A nice variety of items on the menu. Parking in the several large lots at Santana Row.

    I’ve been to this location twice now, first with my husband and this time with a group of friends. I had a nice experience with both visits. Everything my groups ordered both times was delicious. The first time I had a very attentive waitress, we went during lunch time and it wasn’t too busy, she made recommendations and checked in often. The second time we had a pretty new waiter, he didn’t know that there was happy hour when we arrived and the discount ended up not being added to our bill, he also didn’t check in often and we ended up having someone else (maybe the bartender) helping us more. Overall both experiences were nice and I will be back. One thing for diners to be aware of is that the seats are all bench style without a back, they may have seats with backs they can bring out but if anyone needs the extra support this might not be a great dining experience for them.
