Best sushi in the area. Super fresh. Super delicious. Super generous. If you're looking for a friendly place for fantastic sushi, this is the place to go. The service is also fine. Some people are disappointed that it's hasn't been the kind of place where you're coddled, but I like the low key vibe. Hope the new place has the same feel. And I hope it opens soon! We miss Naka!
I've been eating nakas sushi for 32 years when he was in Soquel. Definitely the best sushi in town and I have obviously been eating it for a while!!
Great little sushi bar with izakaiya standards as well. Cute Japanese couple running the place. The Sumo they have on TV is not from the current tournament sadly but it's fun to see some of the guys who retired in the last couple years back on the dohyo. The sushi and sashimi pieces are big and fresh. The Age Dashi Tofu was good although the sauce was a little light. Nice quaint atmosphere, Hiroshige prints on the wall. If you live locally and want a "go-to sushi spot", you can't get more authentic than this!
Best sushi in the whole Bay Area! Yes, including SF!
Freshest quality you can get, presented in style, and so so yummy, it melts in your mouth! Naka-san’s sushi is the BEST! ❤️🥰 But don’t bother going there if you like Fusion cuisine - they only have authentic Japanese food🥰
Authentic sushi place. The rolls were delicious! It was a pleasure to meet Naka and his wife. Thank you for such great food and kindness!
The owners are very nice, the sushi is good quality, the sumo wrestling on the TV was unique, and I love giant koi fish decal and pictures on the walls. However, the roll selection pales in comparison to the other local sushi bars such as Sushi Garden, Mobo, I Love Sushi, and Akira, who all have large selections of very creative rolls. I would also like to have more normal size roll options rather than the double size ones that normal humans can't eat in one bite.
Great sushi spot! Cute atmosphere, nice decorations inside. The nigiri is to die for; great fresh fish, huge amount, the nigiri is totally worth it!!!
Nice staff, fresh good food, great sushi rolls!
Best sushi & sashimi my husband and I’ve ever had! Even over hawa’ii. Just absolutely loved the family service. Yum!
