The sushi is the freshest in town. Prepared by the top sushi chef's. Service is great. Love the sushi bar. Well worth the trip. My favorite place to eat!

This is my favorite sushi restaurant in Columbia, hands down. There are some decent places out there, but this is the winner. The service is always fast and friendly, and the waitstaff knows the menu very well for people like me who are not exactly sushi experts. The restaurant is quiet, with low music playing in the background. The perfect place to go have a nice dinner and conversation. This is also my son's favorite restaurant! Enjoy!

What a wonderful discovery! We were passing through and liked the reviews so we stopped by. It was a busy Friday but got a table after a short wait! We could have chosen a sushi bar seat or traditional tatami mat room though? We ordered a lot to try a wide range with a boat, katsu Don and two tempura plates! Zoie our servicer made this great dining experience memorable as we ate our fill and had enough for our refrigerator to offer a weekend treat! The standard for a great meal is looking forward to your next visit!

From the outside, it's a plain building with a plain sign. From the inside? Amazing. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. All the staff that I met were very friendly. We had a server named Nathan who was so patient, explained some of the menu items to us and even offered us some recommendations. The food will not disappoint! The sushi is fresh and prepared beautifully. We had the Godzilla roll, Firecracker roll, black dragon roll, and takoyaki maki. I didn't think I would like the red pickled ginger on the takoyaki maki, but I was wrong. Definitely takes it up a notch. One thing I really liked was that my sushi was brought out one roll at a time. We got to taste and experience one roll before jumping to the next. I can't wait to go back. There were so many other options that I wanted to try.

While visiting Columbia I had a fantastic meal at Inakaya Watanabe. Sydney provided the best service ever. Can't wait to go back. Tom

Sashimi Dinner for two $48 Comes with miso soup and salad with ginger dressing Wish there was an explanation on what is what. Quality good.

So good and so unassuming, in the same plaza as the dmv, we got too gyudon bowls one with beef and one with pork, plenty of soup on the bottom maybe just a little less for ratio balance... The sushi chefs are very friendly and has been around for a while... I felt like you can taste the difference and the authenticity, can't wait to go back to get some sushi and rolls!

It's been WAY too long since I've dined here, so my excitement was difficult to contain. I brought my son here after baseball practice as one of our monthly sushi date nights and we were starving, ready to feast on some highly reputable sushi in the midlands. First off, I need to say that the food here is prepared very well and served fresh to order (as it should be). You can taste the difference in the quality of sushi here. It's much better than any other sushi restaurant in the midlands that I've tried. You don't have sloppy sushi chefs and it shows. Again, I must say, this is truly the best sushi around! The ambiance is perfect here. It is a little hole in the wall joint, but it feels very comfortable and traditional to Japanese cuisine when you walk in. The staff is all dressed properly and attentive. The owner is a sushi chef himself. On the right night, you can find him rolling sushi behind the bar, just like tonight, which makes the whole experience feel like you're definitely in the right place. The service tonight was not as great as my previous experience, however. The host at the door was very accommodating as he sat us within minutes after cleaning our table and presenting our table properly, but our server just wasn't as pleasant. She literally walked up to the table with a "know what you want?" kind of attitude. She did not introduce herself and she did not smile the whole time we were there. She was accurate with our order, but she just wasn't very welcoming at all. This was the only mishap of our evening though. All in all, we had a good experience and even though we like to try a new place every month, we both agreed this was the best of all the sushi restaurants we've been to so far and we plan on coming back for more.

Been here plenty of times before. Always enjoy myself. The food is delicious and it has a good ambience.
