Our go to Sushi place in the Monterey area. Can be short-staffed and slow when busy, but that is due to more and more people discovering. Chef/owner and staff are friendly and welcoming. Sushi & sashimi are excellent as are the cooked to order dishes. WE're there no less than one to three times a month.
Wonderful wait staff (she kept our drinks filled, removed finished dishes as soon as we were done, great attitude), chef was very entertaining and food was prepared perfectly!
