    Sushi-San is such a fun spot with great energy. It’s lively but never too much, & the staff is always super friendly & on it. The broccolini is a must—so flavorful & perfectly charred. The skirt steak is tender & packed with flavor, & the lettuce wraps are fresh & light. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything here. Solid food, great vibes, & always a good time.

    This was our second visit to Itoko, both experiences were fantastic! On both occasions we described our preferences to the server and both times, we were blown away with the selection and quality of each dish. It’s apparent that the restaurant’s staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their process and presentation. Some of the best nigiri I’ve ever had. I would recommend Itoko for any occasion you wouldn’t mind repeating.

    Finally got a reservation here 🙌🏽 And oh was it it worth it! We sat at the counter and got to see the magic happen. Ramen Lord himself even brought us our ramen which was pretty neat. Definitely will be fighting for another reservation to try the variations of ramen they introduce throughout the year. Shoutout to Mo, our server, for his kindness and cool demeanor.

    Honestly, it's a great spot for a quick date. The food and service were great. Loved the sushi and speed of service. The ramen broth could've been more flavorful but honestly everything else was great. Price was just right too. 51 with tax for 2 rolls, 1 chicken bento box, chicken ramen, and edamame. What a steal.
