OK, we have some really good options.. but none better than Imura and few come close. There box meals are delicious, so is the seaweed salad, the complimentary edamame, huge salads with grilled tuna or teriyaki chicken, creative and traditional rolls.. try the firecracker!! Vegetarian options galore, and if you like sukiyaki like I like sukiyaki, you are in for a treat.. but usually have to wait till dinner hour for that one.

And the sushi is fresh too.We had a big family gathering and with advance planning and communication were able to get all accommodated. Had a great time.The place is not a big place, totally understandable as Watsonville is not a big town either. Towards the end it did get a little warm inside.Service thru out was great.

I like the great variety fo sushi rolls and combinations. Tried Hawaiian Roll, Calypso Roll and Tempuru Ebi roll along with some Nigiri. Service was fast & friendly.Nice, open space with plenty of parking. Nice touch is edamame while you peruse menu. Bento box for lunch seems to be a good value.

A friend told us about it, and we went for dinner on Mother's Day late afternoon (they open at 4:30 for dinner). It was a perfect warm sunset, so we sat at one of the outside tables. We had a Golden Tempura roll (shrimp-cream cheese, macadamia nuts, jalapeno and sweet sauce-deep fried-very tasty) an Ahi roll, and a tempura dinner. Generous portions- we took a box home. With 2 large sakes, and tip, 64.00. We will be back. Be sure to check in advance when they are open.
