First of all, the presentation of my delivery order was beautiful. I love the boxes they sent my sushi rolls in. I ordered the Shrimp Crunch Roll and Dragon Roll. Both are sooooo good!

• DoorDash order
The salad was a container of greens in a box with a few slices of radish and literally 2 small slivers of bell pepper. There wasn't nearly enough dressing for it (1/2 small container) and the charge for it $10 was far too much.
When we opened the salmon nigiri, we were hit with the smell of fish- for raw sushi, this is not good. We debated if we should eat it.
The only sauces were 3 tiny soy packets, 2 packets of wasabi like it's ketchup and ginger also in a little packet that was just gross.
Store was nice to call and tell me they didn't have real crab that I had subbed for fake crab, but rainbow roll with the spicy tuna inside just felt kinda squishy, no crunchy texture not something I'd order again. I appreciate the effort .
The smelly fish will be hard to forget. For the price, you need to serve fresh ginger and wasabi. Send enough dressing for a salad and offering a sauce would be nice.

They give you very little food for the cost. They didn't deliver all the items that I ordered, however I was charged for that order. They gave me two pieces of sushi for the price of $18. The food is terrible. I will never order from this store again.

Definitely get the crispy rice. The kids meal is also a good addition if you want a small side of miso and edamame for a great price. Fish quality is not the absolute best but it's fine.

I don't know what happened , had japonica before but ordered DoorDash and the crispy rice tasted like it was days old and fried so much it wasn't edible. The tuna on top looked like piped fake fish. Just overall not good
