However, I donвЂ™t think I will be ordering the teriyaki chicken again. Overall, I think the bento box is cheaper than most sushi places and for the most part, quite satisfying. Luckily, there was enough teriyaki sauce to keep it from tasting too bland. The chicken was not dry but it tasted like it was broil instead of baked or grilled. The salad was average but the teriyaki chicken tasted a bit weird. The California roll was really soft and good too. The tempura potato was really soft and melt in my mouth. I like that the combo came with gyoza that was tasty and crunchy. When I opened up my take-вЂ‹out box at work, I was surprised that everything was presented so beautifully. There are two kitchen areas: the sushi chef is to the left of the cashier and the other kitchen is for the cooking of everything else, such as the teriyaki chicken, gyoza, etc.

They have a menu with pictures on the wall and actual menus next to the cashier. There are seats inside and outside the restaurant. This is an order at the counter establishment and the cashier was smiling and friendly. Even though there were a few people ahead and behind me during lunchtime on a weekday, my take-вЂ‹out was ready within 10 minutes or less. I ordered a teriyaki chicken bento box and a Philadelphia roll. However, I know I WILL be eating it again. All the flavors were fresh and inviting and new! It wasnвЂ™t like any sushi IвЂ™ve eaten before. The fish was EXTREMELY fresh, with not even a hint of fishy flavor, and so tender it was like cutting through butter. We ended up ordering another, we loved it so much. But IвЂ™ve gotta say, this one roll I ate ranks up there with the VERY best. WeвЂ™ve also eaten sushi in Hawaii, San Fransisco, Las Vegas, etcвЂ¦ because weвЂ™re huge fans. IвЂ™m not new to sushi - here in Atascadero we have 3 sushi places, and there are a whole bunch more within a 20 minute drive in any direction. I ordered a Sunshine Roll to get a good baseline idea of what their sushi is like, and WOW was I impressed. The vegetables in the rice bowls we thought were a little undercooked, but that could just be our preferences. We especially loved the teriyaki salmon and tofu (Silken fried tofu that is TO DIE FOR!). Most of the seating is outside, and it can get cold out there! Now that weвЂ™ve eaten here, I donвЂ™t know that weвЂ™ll ever eat anywhere else! The rice bowls are really delicious, wholesome, healthy food that you can tell is fresh and good for you. The restaurant itself is tiny tiny tiny, and it seems like it only has seating for groups of two or maybe three. (A few people in our family have food sensitivities). WeвЂ™ve walked by this restaurant a few times on our day trips to SB, but only decided to try it as a last-вЂ‹ditch effort for good gluten free/вЂ‹vegetarian options.
