One of the few places in the valley I can say I am treated like family every time I come in, and that is saying a lot! Great food, surprisingly friendly atmosphere, and service is always great! My only recommendation is perhaps changing their green tea recipe, as it always tastes strange when I order it. I don't know if the sushi chef is the owner or just an employee, but he shows a great deal of friendliness to his customers and seems to be a genuinely kind human being.
