Food was bland. The spicy tuna ratio was over-mixed, or it was just bland tuna. My son raves about this spot. It was my first and last time, unfortunately.

The restaurant has a good vibe but the food and service quality is very low. With all the sushi and Japanese options in the South Bay I would recommend looking for a table at another restaurant. If you are looking for actual sushi or Izakaya Japonic is not it.
