Amazing sushi, service and patio! I highly recommend the sweet jalapeño roll! Not hot if your scared of hot FYI. Shishido peppers are top notch and the manager Michael was amazing checking on us as well as our server! Will definitely be going back!

Me and my husband come here quite a bit. I'm pretty sure some of the staff recognize us every time by now, lol. This is seriously the BEST Japanese cuisine restaurant I've ever been too. If you go on a busy night, the food is most definitely worth the wait. If you go for lunch, i recommend the Miso Ramen. It's the best! And when they have it, the braised pork buns are to die for. I love this little restaurant, and so glad we discovered it a couple of years back. It has seriously been a pleasure getting to try everything off the menu. You won't regret the service you get, or the food. It's amazing!

Overall Rating: 8.5/10
- Another sushi spot to try on your list! If you like very authentic sushi (literally they don’t put avocado, cream cheese, or any heavy sauces in any of their sushi or dishes) this is the place for you!
- The spider roll was immaculate I liked it a lot. I liked the freshness of the garlic rub albacore, but I think I would stick to salmon or tuna next time. I loved the white tuna nigiri it was so fresh!
- The most unique thing I had was the okonomiyaki which is basically a fried sushi-like pizza? It had a lot of flavor and honestly wish I didn’t order the chicken karaage (not good to me) so I could enjoy the pizza more (since they were both fried it was a lot together).
- The pork belly buns were very good too but honestly you could skip on that. Overall, they pay attention to the prep of food and it’s a pretty solid place! I only said maybe I would come back only because I like super cute places and this was a definitely casual, hipster place so it’s personal preference. Service was AMAZING btw. Everyone is so nice and made the experience very enjoyable.
Loved our time at Shinjuku. Definitely get reservations because there were limited tables. The pork buns were fabulous. The takoyaki (octopus fritters) melted in my mouth. Sushi was great. The old fashioned was a little sweet for my taste but house saki was just what I needed.
Great sushi and great service.
The rolls, and specialty dishes are nice and fresh.
Sitting at the sushi bar is good because you can get suggestions from the chef.
Sake is good both warm and cold.
Working lunches are much more sweet here! We sampled a couple of rolls, a bento box, and a chicken bowl. All delightful! I’ll have to go back for a happy hour 🍻
Alrighty. Came here on Friday just in time for their happy hour. We got the sake salmon, Tok fries, beer braised pork buns, okonomiyaki, and chicken karaage.
The sake salmon was simple but good. A good salmon to rice ratio is always appreciated.
The Tok Fries was very large. Definitely this can be shared between 3-4 people. The chili mayo and furikake seasoning was a pretty unique way of eating fries.
The beer braised pork buns were by far my favorite item of the evening. The pork was very juicy, flavorful, and tender. It has a good amount of fat that melted with each bite. The bun was there to absorb the fat. Delicious and highly recommended.
The chicken karaage was average. I thought it usually came with a lemon but ours didn't.
Lastly the okonomiyaki. I did not really like this item. It just wasn't for me. The sauce and everything made it very filling and difficult for me to enjoy.
Overall, it was a good experience. I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.
Great and friendly service, excellent sushi & nigiri. Not shy with the fish portions either, which was surprising and refreshing. Recommend 100%. They offered a diverse menu if sushi is not everyone in your party’s speed. Ramen and bento selections too.
You have to go for the Omakase experience and ask for chef Chris if he is available. I cannot believe how good this experience was. You order your drinks, give him a price cap and any items or ingredients you want to stay away from, and then you sit back and food is delivered to you that the chef thinks is the best option. Chef Chris has several of his own personal creations that you won't find anywhere else including the one in the photo with the apple flower. I've had a good bit of sushi in my life and I've been to some extremely expensive sushi restaurants in the past and nothing compares to the flavor, presentation, and service that we recieved at Shinjuku. I will definitely be returning and bringing all of my friends who love sushi and I suggest you do the same.
Server was attentive & had great recommendations. Surprisingly, my favorites were the swiss chard (fresh without being bitter) & wild mushrooms. I mixed the sauces with a bowl of rice & was pretty content scarfing that down. My next favorite was the hama chili (another server recommendation). The fish was sliced perfectly thin & had a slight kick from the chili.
The only disappointment was that they ran out of the matcha panna cotta dessert.
Parking is a bit scarce due to construction & go to the back of the building for the entrance.
Been here twice. Best thing is to give your server a dollar limit and let them take you on a food journey. Done it twice and not disappointed. Make sure to let them know if you are opposed to certain foods.
The food here was amazing!!! The fry portion was amazing and my favorite thing. Everything was fresh and good sized portions. We definitely ordered too much food but so affordable and worth it. I’ll be back definitely. (Must have the tok fries)
