★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Hami Chan · Oct 2025

Extremely disappointed with this place. The prices are way overrated $35 for a small bowl of salmon poke with just a couple of deep-fried chips on the side. The poke itself was missing any real flavor or seasoning, just plain fish tossed together with no balance or freshness to the taste. And to make it worse, there was no rice which makes no sense, since poke traditionally comes served over rice, especially at that price point. The sushi rice we did try in the rolls was honestly the worst I’ve ever had. Completely dry, undercooked, and flavorless. Sushi rice is the foundation of good sushi it should be soft, slightly sticky, and melt in your mouth with that perfect hint of vinegar. This had none of that. My partner ordered a ramen bowl, and that wasn’t any better. The broth was undersa

Had a great time sitting at the bar with a party of 4. Our server Nick was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious - fresh fish and creative flavors. Nice ambiance in an intimate restaurant.

An unfortunate experience. This restaurant is probably just fortunate that people don’t know the food could be better. We really looked forward to enjoying many of the items on the menu but the restaurant was so busy we ordered Takeout; Agedashi Tofu, Hamachi Kama, salmon nigiri, tempura etc. What was served as the Agedashi Tofu was absolutely not how this dish is typically prepared.

We ordered two servings of rice; what we received was a portion enough for one bowl and it had soy sauce on parts of the rice, like it was leftover rice or had been used for something else. The order of Rainbow Roll had been

Great edamame, but thats about it. Some unique rolls that help but Way overpriced for what you get. Small quantities and rolls and the fish is just alright at best. Would have been more satisfied with conveyor belt....

★★★★★ 5.0 Matthew Krunglevich · Feb 2022

A great spot for sushi nestled on Bends Westside. Fresh fish and great tastes that have a local flair. Three food was great with above average service. Pricing was as expected for quality of ingredients. Cocktails were prepared with fresh ingredients. Atmosphere is mildly upscale and well behaved family friendly. Parking is kinda challenging at times. Reservations recommended.
