The food quality could use some improvement. It’s less fine dining sushi and more casual eatery sushi if that makes sense. The service was great. They accommodated our large party of preteen girls for a birthday very well. Highly recommended for families and casual sushi eaters. Less recommended for fancy pants sushi eaters. (That’s me🤷). Price is good and selection is good. Especially for Poway.

Gold stars to every worker at this location on Sunday night, November 3rd. We were celebrating a belated birthday and the place was absolutely slammed. There were several big parties, which is always a strain on waitstaff. Our server was gracious as she apologized for shortages or items being unavailable (the bar was out of Patron). We are always understanding of these situations because we know it wasn't her fault. Every one - hosting staff, wait staff, bus staff - were working their fannies off to keep things moving forward. Management should be proud of how well the restaurant was represented by these hard-working people.

Excellent service and appropriate noise level on a Week night . Nice “sports bar” atmosphere. The fried food, while nicely presented, was quite greasy. The breading, while thick, was overdone. Each entree had about 3X the amount of French fries needed.
