This is my go-to place in South Bay for a delicious bento box at an incredible price. The staff is friendly, it is appropriately decorated, and the place is clean. There is plenty of parking space and you're attended to right away, even when it's busy. Let's start with my favorite, which are the lunchtime bentos. Not only do you get a miso to start things off, but the box itself comes with tempura, salad, half of a Cali roll, and your entree as well. It's a lot of food, and all for under 10 (as of this review). The portions are serious, I know a few other places that I enjoy as well where they don't give you nearly as much meat as they do here. When I'm in the mood for something different, I've had their ramen, which is also tasty. I've had the rainbow roll, the eel roll, the red dragon roll, and the Duncan's roll. All of them were delightful and tasted fresh. There aren't a lot of sushi options in the area, and when that happens restaurants sometimes get away with mediocrity. Not this place. Come and try it out and you'll see what I mean.

Friendly service. They even celebrated our birthday with a dancing cactus, ice cream, and Choco pie. The sushi is good. I like the atmosphere here. The fried shrimp was also excellent. I am a big fan of the Japanese-Korean fusion. The chef said he uses his parents' recipes - authentic.

Hit up Sushi & Galbi recently, and it was straight fire! The sushi was super fresh and on point, but Monica and Itzel stole the show. Monica was super chill and had the best recs—she made sure everything was perfect. And Itzel? Total vibe. Always smiling, quick with the check-ins, and just made the whole experience feel next-level. If you’re craving sushi and want a spot with amazing food and people, this is it. Can’t wait to roll back soon! Ayeeeee shout out to these two for the best costumer service yall !!! Everything was PERFECT-OOOOOOOOO !!! Mwahhhhh yummy

Unbelievably fresh thick cut sushi! And great service?!! Wow!!! Jane and another waitress took care of the entire room with ease! Treating every table like it was their only table! That's how I felt, I watched the place quickly fill up for lunch and I gotta start by saying Jane really shined with her service. I am a sashimi guy, and I hate when I'm charged high prices for skinny see through sushi. This place cuts them thick, for a great price! The beer options were good, 1.99 for a sake bomb!!! Whaaaat! The chef's even customized a roll for me, my favorite roll has the lemon and Cilantro on top of salmon. I am so excited I checked this place out because I will now have a dope place to enjoy after church on Sundays! Tap in to the daily specials!

Excellent! We had a poke salmon tuna bowl , hamachi kama, fried blue crab and chirashi bowl. The place has grown from when it first opened years ago. Prices great too! We will be back again.
