- RNRosie Nguyen1 day ago2.0food is way too salty :/ the crudo, rock shrimp, and cauliflower were all incredibly salty and drenched in soy sauce. the sushi rolls were fine but tasted like something you can get at a grocery store for 3x the price. wouldn't come back unfortunately ambience was nice
- RCRobert Cline6 days ago5.0Very fresh and tasty O-Ku Rainbow Roll. Also tried the crispy rice and their bok choy for the first time. Our first time there in six years, we will definitely be back sooner next time.

- RLRose LiuMar 30, 20261.0This was the worst meal we've had in the last decade; the entire experience was abysmal. We expected refined, high-end sushi, but the soy sauce dishes were the size of small bowls. After the initial water service, the staff never returned to check on our drinks or the progress of our food. I had to wave someone down four times just to place our order. The pacing was inexcusable: we waited 30 minutes for the second dish, and then another 50 minutes for the third. The restaurant was less than half full, so I don't understand why the kitchen was so slow. The servers completely ignored us, and sitting at an empty table for that long was a terrible experience. One star.
- JAJordan AbidorMar 28, 20261.0Don’t bother with this place. Made a reservation, showed up and forced to wait 30+ minutes for a table. Insane to charge a fee for being late and then queue everyone in the front desk. Food was great, Amirah was a wonderful server.
