| - What may seem like a hole on the wall at Bayview & 16th, this little restaurant is a gem! Why? Because of the food - consistently fresh and flavorful. Its absolutely not your mediocre and over-hyped sushi and sashimi place. Its not a huge place but its humility in size is dressed up with Japanese minimalist yet bold elegance with dainty and warm accents. I enjoy it even more because it doesn't get too crowded there on the hours we need a quiet lunch or dinner.
On peak hours I don't think I ever saw a line up but the place is packed. Their kitchen is very busy, however, and their delivery cars come and go pretty quickly. Apparently, its very popular for delivery or take-out.
I've been ordering delivery from this place for 3 years now. Reliable to come minutes before deadline and its always the chef who personally made our order who'd be ringing our bell. In their aprons, yes! That's what I call cool service.
There were some off days, yeah, like the rolls were not as perfectly tight or the size may seem to have been reduced a bit, and the rice not the usual sushi rice, and the ooh where is that usual zing (?). But more often we're very happy. I can tell their food is made by very skilled hands and with the keen intention to please and satisfy its customers.
Very popular for us would be their party trays. When its Senbazuru party tray for dinner, Mom (that's me) is in a perfect mood or getting there.
With the huge and enjoyable variety of Sushi Rolls I'm like shopping for shoes. It can get pretty exciting, I tell ya. The price is reasonable translating it to the quality and serving size. For example, 8 pieces of Black Dragon Roll would be $10.99 yet ohmygawd this is goo-uud . Amazing. Must be something with the dressing inside or its probably the tempura and bbq'd eel on top. Whatever. It's a bestseller. Well, here's their list of Sushi Roll Party Trays to allow you more time to eat than deciding what to eat.
* Party Tray of 54 pcs. - $40.00 - consists of Sushi x 12 pcs., Cucumber roll x 12, California roll x 12, Salmon skin roll x 6, Dynamite roll x 6, Spicy salmon roll x 6.
* Party Tray of 40 pcs. - $30.00 - consists of Sashimi x 12 pcs., California roll x 12, Futo maki x 4, Salmon skin roll x 6, Spicy salmon roll x 6.

* Party Tray of 30 pcs. - $26.00 - consists of Assorted sushi x 18 pcs., Salmon roll x 6, California roll x 6.
When we do get a bit more craving we pick out from their regular menu.
The Mixed Sushi and Sashimi Party Tray is our usual indulgence. Take a look:
* 48 Pieces Sushi & Sashimi for $35.00 serves Sushi x 12 pcs., Sashimi x 12, Salmon roll x 6, California roll x 6, Kamikaze roll x 8, Futo maki -x 4.
* 92 Pieces Sushi & Sashimi for $70.00 serves Sushi x 24 pcs., Sashimi x 24, California roll x 6, Salad roll x 6, Green Dragon roll x 8, Salmon roll x 6, Spicy Tuna roll x 6, Kamikaze maki x 8, Futo maki x 4.
* 130 Pieces Sushi & Sashimi for $100.00 serves Sushi x 40 pcs., Sashimi x 40, Spicy Tuna roll x 6, Spicy Salmon roll x 6, California roll x 6, Salad roll x 6, Futo maki x 4, Kamikaze roll x 8, Green Dragon roll x 8, Mango Tango roll x 6.
Their Sashimi is superb - Salmon my fave. Its so delectable that the noise at the dinner table is hushed. Kids usually avert raw fish, right? They don't like it. But my little girls love love love it. The luscious texture and sweet succulent meat, Senbazuru just does it too well. From 12 pcs = $12 to 96 pcs = $96, it's a dollar for every slice of happiness.
Their Bento Boxes are good, too. Lunch, which ranges from $7.99 to $9.99 with Cod Fish alone at $11.99 mark, is satisfying in Teriyaki sauce, Tempura, or grilled accompanied by Miso soup, Salad, Salmon sashimi x 3 pcs, Califormia roll, Deep fried dumpling, and Steamed rice. While Dinner, tagged at $11.99 to $14.99, can be a feast for one chick like me trying to maintain her waistline. Same meat selection and includes Rice, Miso soup, Salad, Fried dumpling x 3, Salmon sushi x 3, California roll x 3. Quite filling!... grab Tums.
All this time we haven't tried their Sushi Pizza, Vegetarian Roll, and Noodles. So I have no comments yet on these very interesting items. Their Rice in Bowl are not bad at all from $5.99 to $9.99 for a quick meal. For something more economical, their Lunch Special at $5.99 to $7.99 could not be understated with the varied selection that may be unique to this place. "Cash Only" for Lunch Special order is a setback. Dunno why they don't accept the plastics. I'm not a Sake drinker but they serve it.
If you wanna dine there or go take-out/delivery you won't miss a thing. It all gives you the satisfaction on good food and good service.
