Delicious sushi with new combinations of flavors. The churros were amazing, not at all what we expected for a sushi place. Light and delicious.

Amazing sushi, apps were great as well. Outdoor seating will be a bit cold for those not dressed accordingly, but was great for us. Would definitely come back!

Umami burger is overrated. The meat lacked in flavor but the buns were homemade. The taro cakes were on the fried side with mushy rice inside but tasteful. I have never had such velvety fresh salmon in a roll. An experience I will never forget. The ginger is on the sweeter quality side. The churros are a must indeed best to split amongst 3. We dipped our churros in Matcha and dark chocolate dip. Amen.

We rolled down to SF to eat at Mamanoko before Mateo Bocelli. Food was excellent and Ulises was THE BEST.
