I've been a regular here for almost 10 years. Eversince I was in highschool before I even learned how to drive my mom used to take me here. I might be a tad bit biased. They recognize me when I come in now.
I stopped here for dinner two nights ago and it's been about 3 months since I was last here.
My go to orders are always a Lee Tata, Age Tofu, crunchroll, and Tokyo Love Story roll. Once in a while I'd switch it up and instead of all that, I'd get a Mark's Chirashi which also comes with a soup and salad.
The age tofu here is the best compared to anywhere else I've tried and I've tried it at basically every asian restsurant I've been to that serves it. The sauce is always a perfect combination of sweet and savory. I believe it's a tsuyu and the tofu is served in it. When I was younger I used to love the pieces on the top that hasn't touched the sauce yet because it was always nice and crispy. The combo of crispy dunked into a savory sweet sauce was so good. Now that I'm older, I prefer the pieces that have been soaking up all the sauce. It's got a different texture. Chewy and delicious. I like to poke a hole in the top and let the sauce inside the tofu. Then it's like a cute little favor filled pocket.
The Lee Tata is a must try item for spicy tuna lovers. It's a mix of fish and something like a spicy mayo. Theres also masago mixed in and it gives it a really nice bite. Contrasts the softness of the fish. Sometimes I save the sauce from the Age tofu and put a little bit into the Lee Tata. It gives it a bit of a different flavor but it's still so good. The sauce adds sweetness to the savory mildly spicy mix and it's fantastic!
The crunchroll is pretty simple. It's a deep fried sushi roll. Sounds bad, I know. But its so good. The frying process changes the texture of the rice slightly. Makes it softer and creamier. And the panko crumbs used to batter the roll gives it a nice crunch. It's got texture and flavors that can be pretty addicting.
The Tokyo Love Story is one of their more popular rolls. I see it getting made all the time. It's basically an improved version of a volcano roll frrom other places. Unlike the volcano rolls you find anywhere, the mix on top isn't too mayo-y. It's got a good balance. It's creamy with bits of conch that adds texture.
A Mark's Chirashi is basically a de-constructed Tokyo Love Story in Chirashi form. And the bowl is huuuge. Lots of meat and plenty of rice. Only issue is that it can sometines get a bit oily near the end as you're eating. It comes with a soup and salad. I recommend eatting the soup first. The dressing on the salad is a carrot ginger dressing that can overpower the flavor of the miso soup if you try to eat it first. It's also a good palette cleanser after the soup for the chirashi.
The place itself is very cute. Can get crowded quickly as the locals come in. It only has bout 10 or so small tables, mostly 2 seaters but they will combine tables for you. Sometimes there's a wait if you don't come early. I don't think they take reservations either. I'm not 100% sure on that. I always think the wait is worth though. -

FINALLY! A decent sushi place in WPB.. definitely 4 stars for this area. Ordered the lee tar tar for appetizer very pleasantly surprised. Not swimming in mayo.. the fish was fresh not tough perfect balance of flavors.. ordered the salmon skin and spicy tuna handrolls.. both on point. We also ordered the red dragon and the Tokyo love story.. don't have anything bad to say about either. Only thing i will mention is that they have cream cheese in a lot of their rolls. (I personally don't think cream cheese belongs in real authentic sushi i mean.. just go to Japan.. no cream cheese in sushi ppl! if you haven't been to japan, you should!!) I'm sure if you request them to leave out the cream cheese they can.
Will definitely be coming back again. A HIDDEN GEM FOR SURE! -

Excellent food and service. Went with a party of 4 and all were very satisfied with their sushi and tempura. They have an interesting menu with many different options. Would definitely recommend.

My favorite sushi bar in palm beach county By far!!
A small quiet atmosphere, Deborah our waitress is always nice. Newly remodeled but kept the amazing favorites of sushi and wonderful rolls like no other. Reasonably priced, and always consistent. I hesitated to write this for fear my favorite sushi place will end up being on a wait next time! Lol -

I am literally writing this review as I'm still in the restaurant. My boyfriend and I ordered the Waikiki roll and the red dragon roll as we saw recommendations on Yelp to order these and WOW, definitely a great decision. Both these rolls were absolutely delicious. The best sushi we've tried in west palm; very fresh. This will definitely be our Go-To Sushi spot moving forward. It's a great atmosphere and it's super cute. Great for a romantic date night. ALSO, great customer service. Our waitress was very helpful, knowledgeable, and extremely nice. It's earned 5 stars.
