We went to this restaurant because it was close to the Americana mall. We had four children and five adults in our group but the hostess was nice and prepared the table for us quickly. The food server was very patient in answering our questions about the dishes we were interested in. The chicken teriyaki for the kids was presented... More

Wow....food & drink specials are the way to go here. Why pay full price? Great atmosphere, great service, but I just ate to pay the overblown prices here unless it is happy hour!!!!

We aren't sushi aficionados, but we came to this sushi restaurant anyway because of its beautiful location at the Americana. We came on Valentine's Day and were told about their pricey special for Valentine's Day. Because we didn't know what to expect, we opted for their regular menu. It may be because it was Valentine's Day that there were a... More

I came to this restaurant with my husband and daughter for lunch. We weren't greeted with a smile, and menus were dropped onto our tables without any comment. Our grumpy server came back to take our order, and our food was subsequently served. A while later we asked the chef (we were on the bar) about what was left of... More

If you happen to be in Americana and must have sushi then... sure, why not. Otherwise, there are lots of other restaurant options there and certainly lots of sushi places in Glendale & LA that have better food, atmosphere, quality and far better prices. This one has OK sushi and costs an arm and a leg. Definitely NOT worth it!!!

The sushi is fresh, but servings are tiny and pricing is not. Nice place to impress a date, as it has a trendy hipster club feel to it. Service was friendly, but not totally attentive.

This newer location at the Americana @ Brand offers outdoor dining with views of both dancing fountains. Fantastic and attentive waitstaff. Delicious food items and cocktails. We were there for happy hour and had wonderful samplers of our favorite items at a fraction of the cost. Must try the rock shrimp and crispy rice. Loved this place., Excited to go... More

Located in the Americana Glendale. Chic, fun, great food. You should try their crispy rice tuna sushi...OMG-the best! Sit inside at the sushi bar and watch the master sushi chefs do their handy work or sit outside and people watch. A little on the expensive side, but worth it!
