Absolutely amazing for the price $1 sushi is epic) and all around very good. I wish I had a place this good at something like this price point in Manhattan.Edit 1/29/2022: Still one of the best restaurants in Bethesda. Call ahead, order, eat delicious sushi, be happy

Ahh! The culinary delight that pleases both the eye and the palate. Tucked away on the corner of Delray Ave and Norfolk st. It is my only Japanese place to dine. The service is excellent, the soup and sushi to die for! The pork falls apart with chopsticks. Although it is only carry out the ambiance brings a release of tension as no therapy will. God bless this tiny little part of the Islands of Japan. May their rising sun never set as long as I breathe .

Once in a while, it's nice to find a Japanese restaurant that offers fresh nigiri sushi for $1 per piece. It's only takeaway for now, but they offer it all day long. They are still offering this as of January 2022 for about 20 different selections (see photo of $1 nigiri list), so it's a good variety. But they also have other dishes like sashimi, maki rolls, and other Japanese dishes, most for under $10 a dish.

Great place for the value! If your looking for affordable sushi to fix your craving this is the spot. Mid grade sushi/nigiri that can be ordered in large quantities that won’t break the bank (compared to nearby restaurants). Also have other menu items that are good too; chk karaage, unagi don and kaki fry (we prefer to get our ramen from a different place). Only takeout and the staff is great too!Usual Order:Lg quantity of Salmon Belly NigiriAlaskan RollChk KaraageUnagi Don

The variety of sushi and taste was good. I got the deluxe sushi set and that was quite disappointing. The sushi portions were rather small considering the price (it came in a single takeout container, and I believe 10 pieces of nigiri), and some of the raw fish was definitely not fresh. It might be worth it to just get the $1 nigiri rather than the sets.
