Very reasonable price. The overall quality is good, although can not match to high-end restaurant, the price is much cheaper. The lunch set cost 660-1100. The staff were friendly for foreigners.
I dont understand why the rating here is relatively low on Google Maps. This restaurant is amazing! Staff is very friendly, there is English & Korean menu. Sushis are fresh and thick. The seaweed used for temaki(?) is really tasty too, i forgot how many temakis we ordered. (The seaweed roll type sushi) The warm green tea served comes in a cermaic mug, maintaining the green tea warmth. There are about 3 sushi masters(?) making sushi. It felt like I was in a Japanese cuisine movie. Four people (all adults) dined here at lunch and only paid 8000yen. (We ate A LOT and ordered expensive dishes like ‘toro’) At lunchtime, there is a lunch special priced at 660yen for 8 pieces of sushi! (OMG!) + miso soup is even included in that lunch set.
We got in there thought it was Harukoma, but it went out really good! The sushi was really good, nice and friendly service.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
