The new interior is beautiful and I loved being in a booth. We were expecting more seafood but the tuna Niçoise salad was delicious and my friend said the calamari was okay and her green salad had very plain dressing which is exactly what I liked about my salad. So I would have to say try it for yourself. If you’re in the area it’s worth a try.

The best sushi in the Northbay! Great Barlow location; parking is often a problem on weekends,- park on Morris St and come in from the back! Best plates: Machi Bon, Ahi tacos, red dragon and salmon citrus rolls; the sashimi 16 pc dinner is incredible! Be sure to get the mushroom miso, too!
