I went here because it was close and I wouldn’t go back. Was in town during vacation and was feeling lazy so I went to a close one. Not amazing food. Average service.

Decent sushi for the area but Man, that psycho delivery guy.
by the time he got to my door he looked extremely pissed, when I paid for the food I gave him a $ 2 tip which should have been fine but when i did he looked at me and said, that’s it? In his broken English and then proceeded to stick his head in my door and look around my place! was crazy and a little scary! Finally I said thats it goodbye and had to literally shut the door on his face.
Cut to 20 mins later my dog was barking up a storm and I realized that the delivery man was lurking right by my door yelling on his phone!
I opened the door and asked why he was still here and he said because he can and then i said you need to get off my doorstep. He ignored me, I said get off my doorstep or I’m going to call the police. He started mocking me and copying what I was saying! I am super freaked out and will never order again. I literally had a nightmare about this dude a week later!

…(busy chewing)…very good tuna, good lunch prices. Ordered the sashimi and sushi lunch plate for two. Sushi was fresh. Service was a bit strange… like slow to mentally process the order… however another server came and served our plates fast.

Fast, reliable delivery and take out but the food is just OK. The rolls are fine the entrees are not great. I definitely still come here regularly but it’s not stellar.

Dined here last night and it was incredible. We ordered goyza and the rolled beef with scallions for appetizers. Perfect start to the meal for us. We ordered the American Dream roll and Yaki Vegetable Udon, both delicious, and finished with mochi ice cream and fried ice cream. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned.
We will be returning!

Two words: Lunch. Special.
$ 8.00 for two rolls, $ 10.00 for three. Lately every day around noon my craving for a spicy tuna and salmon avocado hand roll starts kicking in. Fish in my experience has always been fresh tasting and delivery is speedy quick. It ain’t Nobu but it definitely satisfies my cravings for sushi in my hood.
My only complaint is that they aren’t on GrubHub /​Seamless. With the convenience of these websites I have become a bumbling idiot trying to order food on the phone.

Very polite staff. Sushi at awesome prices. I thought the sushi wouldn’t be good, but my expectations were beyond met. You can even have a glass of wine for $ 6 and a roll for $ 5. Worth checking out. You won’t be disappointed. A lot of people come here for take out and delivery also.

Prior to this place I didn’t even like Sushi. While I still won’t try most things Akaru has certainly change my take on Sushi. The Spicy lobster rolls are so good. The shrimp Tampura — another fav. Ive had the. I think it’s a Dragon rolls (spicy Tuna roll with crab meat on top) yumm. The shrimp rice is much better then any regular Japanese spot. Oh and the ginger (Green) salad also a thumbs up. Ive haven’t had the seafood soup yet but certainly intend to try it. The meso soup is as good as a plan soup can be I suppose.
Overall this is my go to sushi place… A little attached to it at this point and thats coming from a former sushi hater

Sushi restaurants aren’t really common around this area, so it’s a pleasant addition. Service is great, nice ambiance. The sushi is delicious, fresh fish. Price is may seem pricey but the food is worth it.

I love the box food here, it’s awesome. The sushi is average. What I really cannot stand is the terrible customer service. My department orders food from here at least once a week. This last time they forgot an entire order, once we all say down to eat I called to let them know. Their only response was to basically call me a liar by saying I took too long to call them and let them know. After a while another woman got in he phone and said «oh yeah maybe there was a mix up» and said she would credit my account. Took down my name and number.
The next week I called to order again, reminded them of my credit only to have them transfer me to 2 – 3 people all which who said they don’t do that.
Boo.

OK sushi, pretty average Americanized sushi, generally. Looking at the menu, it seems a bit pricey for what it is, but there aren’t many Japanese places nearby, so I guess they’re capitalizing on that. Also, we went on a really hot day, and it was equally hot inside, which wasn’t so pleasant.
We were really hungry, so we got the dinner boxes. At $ 17, I suppose you got a fair amount of food. I got the beef negimaki, and the beef was a bit tough, the scallions a bit much, and the whole thing was swimming in dilute teriyaki sauce. Not super appealing. The rest of it was pretty standard American sushi bento stuff — salad, miso soup, shumai, tempura, california roll. All decent, but not stellar.

This is the new go to sushi spot for my girlfriend and I! The sushi here is simply amazing. Everything is super fresh and super affordable! Do not leave without trying the sea color mango roll. You’ll be missing out! The décor is very peaceful and intimate, and the staff is very down to earth. Not one bad thing to say about this place.

My parents live in the area so my mom and I decided to stop in and see what this new Japanese place was all about. I am so glad we came in! I ordered the rock shrimp dinner box that came with rock shrimp, a California roll, tempura and shumai! The rock shrimp was so delicious with the mayonnaise sauce. My mom got shrimp pad thai that was also very delicious. The soda I ordered was brought out in can and a glass but I never had to touch the can, my waiter always refilled it for me!
When it came to boxing the rest of my dinner, my waiter took care of that as well so the service was awesome! Can’t wait to come again and try more. They have great lunch special deals but they aren’t available on Sunday’s so plan accordingly!

The sushi here is good. I always have a great time with family, and friends. However, this is a japanese restaurant, and they don’t have sake bombs? What?! I know right. Supposely the glass cups break. Well they should get the right glass cups. They were using a tall narrow glass cup, so of course its going to break. It was a little disappointing.

I totally agree with Gail Q about being confused at how good and how inexpensive and close to my crappy Bushwick apartment this place is.
I have always gotten delivery and it is always fresh and quick. Portions are big (well, for sushi at least) and they don’t skimp on the fish in the maki. The selections are pretty basic — nothing out of the ordinary — but maybe that is how they keep things so fresh.
I am eager to go in there in person when I am feeling less lazy and willing to put on pants.

I’m actually confused as to how sushi can this good and cheap and close to my house. My present theory is that there is a Sushi God and this Sushi God has smiled upon Bushwick because he’s friends with the Colombian Bakery God and now everything is good.
Their 3 roll lunch special makes me want to punch myself in the face just to make sure it’s not all a dream.
