Solid sushi overall. The nigiri sampler was fresh and well executed, and the shishito peppers with crispy toppings and savory glaze were the standout. The poke tacos were overly sauced, but the salmon belly was enjoyable.

Biggest issue for me is the value. For the price, I’d rather just go to a high end poke place or fish market. Good overall, but not a place I would go out of my way for.

Really helpful host and server who both went out of their way to ensure my dietary needs were met. The Mongolian beef lunch special was delicious. Very pleasant staff and great chef.
Photo might not look great, but the food was!

I have enjoyed going here for lunch on various occasions but recently their portions have been cut down significantly for Galbi. There is not much beef since it has a lot of bones already. I left hungry despite cleaning the plate. The guys I was with decided they needed another lunch afterwards... They had Sushi. The sushi portions has always been small but fresh. Service is friendly. Not sure if we will return due to portion size.

This place is a gem. Best happy hour menu in the area. Spotless environment. Kind staff and lovely ambiance. I highly recommend sitting at the bar with Luis. RUN, do not WALK! Just like other reviews said, this place will ruin other Japanese restaurants for you. You have been warned. The FISH is so super FRESH.

I enjoyed the Chefs Tasting Menu during restaurant week and left feeling so satisfied and happy. Chef Ethan was there making sure things were perfect but his staff were absolutely rocking all departments. I loved my margarita and lychee martinis. Really enjoyed all the dishes that came out, but the King Ora Salmon sashimi stole the show for me as well as the ***yuzu sauce*** with Rock Shrimp Tempura on top. The Bluefin was truly spectacular. I can't eat at crappy sushi places no mo'!

Thank you, Glass Box! Please give Luis a raise!

Decided to give it a try and it was well worth it. I got the shrimp cocktail and the orange chicken. Typically the orange chicken is made with breaded chicken but I asked and they made it with grilled instead. So kudos for the extra effort!!
The orange chicken was great and has a little spice. Not bad at all but if you are kinda weak you might skip..lol.
The place is great and the service was perfect. Very attentive and spot on.

Make this a regular dinner and you won’t go wrong.
