There was a bit of a wait (30 minutes) for a table for 7 of us - we didnt mind terribly waiting, but it would have been nicer if the Yelp waitlist function had worked properly. But we finally were seated at a table outside. Wed already looked at the menu and had a good idea of what we wanted to order.Everyone was very pleased with what they ordered. I was happy that there were a couple of veggie rolls that had tofu in them, and one that was vegan without the sauce and was probably one of the best sushi rolls Ive ever eaten in my life. It was called the Earthworm (contains organic baked tofu, basil, garlic, cucumber & broccoli topped with avocado, macadamia nuts and dynamite sauce) and the combination of the basil and garlic was AMAZING. The Bhodi (organic baked tofu, spinach, garlic and shiitake mushroom) was also very good.Service was excellent and very helpful. They took our order efficiently but we didnt feel rushed, and it wasnt a terribly long wait to get the food. Everything looked gorgeous and the consensus seemed to be that everything was delicious.They were unfortunately out of the lava cake that several people in our group wanted to split, but they got to split the tempura cheesecake, and they really enjoyed that as well.We will likely come back next year when were back for our yearly vacation!

When I read all the reviews about this place I had to try them for myself. Ordered miso soup, sugar mama, funky roll medina, hula girl, crunchy granola and sunomono with fish.Out of the five dish, I would say the sugar mama was the best. Great presentation and a good mix of everything, making it my will definitely order again roll.The crunchy granola and funky roll medina both tied for second. The hula girl was different due to the nuts inside, but for me did not work texturally. The fish on the sunomono was fresh, but the sauce for the sliced cucumbers was bland.Our waitress Mayra was excellent. She was friendly, efficient and even told us what the most popular rolls were. She checked on us several times to make sure everything was to our liking. The busboy was on the ball too. Never missed an empty water glass and took the finished plates off the table whenever he passed.

Sushi was great, very fresh. Maybe could have had more variety? A lot of the rolls had their signature eel sauce and/or macadamia nuts in them. That is the only reason for giving the food 4 stars because the rolls I had were delicious. Sushi chefs were attentive, friendly, and so was the staff. Good atmosphere.

First time in Lake Tahoe and the Sushi here is great we got the crunchy granola, fire in the sky and the special holy smokes, all three were amazing would come back again if back in the area. Could not recommend more. Also ordered the calamari, sake, and a miso soup. Great spot :)

Awesome spot for sushi, can’t believe I’ve lived here 2 years and this was my first time last night. The sumitomo salad I ordered was accidentally sweet instead acidic, I told the waitress and they thanked me for calling it out so they could stop serving it to other customers. I felt appreciated.

Excellent sushi! We came for happy hour on a Monday. There was a 15 minute wait for us (party of two), a lot of people were waiting outside. Pro tip: they check you in using the Yelp waitlist, so you might as well get on the waitlist through the Yelp app ahead of time!) Happy hour menu was a great deal, everything was $1-$3 off the regular prices. I love all the rolls with macadamia nuts, several had basil and garlic which tasted like pesto, yum! We got one of the specials and a bunch of the rolls on the HH menu. All were delicious (definitely stands up to what I’m used to in the Bay Area)! The Crunchy Granola, Superstar, and Joker stood out as extra tasty. Hula Girl was also great. They had chilled sake carafes on the happy hour menu which I appreciated, as I wasn’t interested in hot sake. Server was very sweet and friendly, seems like the servers work together and pool tips, as several people helped us over the course of the meal. Very smoothly coordinated. It was a little noisy and hard to hear conversation near the end of our meal but not so bad as to ruin anything. Overall great experience!

I guess the main problem for us is that we didn’t realize this restaurant is pretty much Americanized, I mean the flavor mostly.We ordered the sushi rolls, those fancy ones, not the plain ones. And they’re actually not bad, considering the great location.But the udon we had was a total disaster, I don’t know how do others eat their udon, but we were expecting the drink the soup, at least part of it. While, it’s extremely salty though, like 100% salt AND another 100% portion soy sauce kinda salty. And it’s not cheap comparing with the sushi.Might be a good option if you had a thrilled hike and sweat too much in the day time.

One of the best places I’ve eaten at in Tahoe. I will for sure be returning. I recommend the BBQ short ribs, the yellow tail sashimi and the Gambler roll. The service is also great :) the only negative was that we didn’t really love the mochi

The service here is always so wounderful all the staff are so nice and accommodating . The atmosphere sitting inside or out is wounderful. The portions are nothing short of extremely generous. Best sushi in the area hands down. I never go anywhere else.
