The service and food was really great! The owner took our orders on hand written scrap paper, and he poured our sake so nicely! It was a nice feeling of a locally owned restaurant. The only issue was cleanliness, as there were flies flying around the dining area.

Came to araki sushi for saturday lunch. friendly service, decent prices (they have a lunch special that is available on weekends too), and good quality sashimi.service was also very friendly and attentive, asking us if we needed anything and refilling our water. our food came out very fast too.we got the sashimi/nigiri combo ($24) and the lunch special (rainbow roll and spicy scallop roll). it came with two soups and two salads. the thicker cuts of sashimi were really good and tasted good quality. the rest of the sushi was nothing extraordinary, but i enjoyed it and it was a good portion size. id come back for the lunch special and sashimi.

I really enjoyed the salmon dish as well as the tempura dish.The place is small so you might have to wait for a seating.You sit next to other patrons.Do not mind about that, just order the dish you like and enjoy it.Here is the picture of Salmon lover dish.

Delicious sushi at great prices! Heres my take:Victorias secret roll: Very different than anything Ive had before. The roll is wrapped in foil and set on fire at your table. The taste was interesting but not my favorite.Philly roll: Incredibly delicious! Its a very simple roll but very well made. I even ordered a second one :)Tiger roll: This was a salmon, cream cheese and avocado roll and was better than expected. The amount of fish was great and overall great quality.Both the sake (salmon) and maguro (tuna) sushis were delicious. The portion of fish was very generous and yummy.The restaurant itself is nothing special ambient wise, but the man who served us was very nice and helpful. Will definitely come back.

Great stop for sushi. Happy that it was open between lunch and dinner, as we were at the hospital and wanted sushi 🍣 before dinner time. The place was clean and with a lot of light. You can sit on a booth or tables, no outside seating.We order California rolls, hamachi rolls, unagi sushi and shrimp tempura. Everything was tasty. Tempura was crispy and the hamachi rolls freshThey gave us edamame

It feels like a Japanese restaurant in a city in China. Because the staff and customers all spoke Chinese. Its not Japanese food taste, but the taste is ok. Quantity is plentiful and not expensive!

Food was really great. The Vegetable Udon which we ordered was so fresh and tasty. The service was great too. We ended up hanging around for several hours there.

Good food, large portions and quick service.The have many vegetarian roll options, but none in the lunch specials or the bento box. The serving sizes are pretty generous. Overall its a pretty nice casual spot.

We waited for 30 minutes. They completely forgot about us. Turns out they told the waitress to leave on break and she forgot to put in our order before she left. There were at most three other patrons in the restaurant. No one noticed. They then refused to give us any recompense for our loss. It became clear that anything I said or did would only result in the waitress being punished. All I could do was leave. I strongly suggest boycotting this place. It reeks of bad ethics. Eating here only reinforces this kind of behavior.
