“Whether you are already in the area or looking for the best Sushi then stop by. It is a rare chance to experience a true passion for food on every plate.”
“Weekday lunch. Great portions on lunch specials, fresh, great ambiance and service.”
“Hongdae was simply outstanding. The drink and food selection was vast. We definitely did not go wrong selecting the house specialty rolls. Staff was friendly and prompt making the experience wonderfu. In addition, the environment was very calm and private. I cannot wait to stop by again when I’m in the area.”
“The sushi is really good! They have awesome valued roles. Jack was a wonderful server! The music is fun as well.”
“Wonderful experience! Jack was an amazing server. Patient, kind and quick. He was even happy to explain the menu. It’s been a long time since I’ve had service quite like his at a restaurant like this. I look forward to our next visit!”
“The food is good and the dessert was great. Jack was very nice and very attentive.”
“The saying is businesses at Randhurst die, but I truly hope this one stays forever. It’s some of the best sushi I’ve had. The selections are great and the rolls are huge! You could easily fill up on one, but always want to get more because they all sound amazing. Especially the firecracker roll. It never seemed packed. Which I like. But this place deserves to be packed! 100/10.”
“I didn't know what to expect when I google places around me to find sushi place I said to my wife we will give it a try and we walked in... everything was looking very nice the vibe this place gave me was very peaceful, the music was great not too loud not to quiet just perfect,while we were waiting for food we found a nice chair to take pictures the owner took some pictures I appreciate you, you have achieved a lot with a great team by your side, the food was great the sushi rolls we big compared to other places that's a big plus , the sushi was so delicious it was just melting in wanting to eat more , it's really hard to find a great place thank you for having US at your restaurant it was great experience and will definitely come back soon!!!”
“Came here on Valentines Day. I made reservations for 5pm, and it wasn't too packed inside. Our Octopus Ball appetizers were very delicious, as were our drinks. The cocktails were presented very nicely as well. However, the star of the show was the Sushi Boat. This was amazing. I love Nagiri Sushi, and this boat was full of it. My girl ate the rolls, and I ate the Nagiri, plus the full pieces of fish that come on it as well. I highly recommend this place to any sushi lover. Its quite far from me, but I will be back!”
“Best dining experience ever. Manager was are server and was the coolest ever. She kept dabbing us up and checking up on us. The food was so bomb and the environment was so beautiful and vibey. We tipped the manager and although she refused at first she hugged us and gave us free ice cream. Best experience will be a monthly tradition.”
