Came in for lunch on a Monday, was the first one in a little before noon and was met with a hot cup of tea and edamame. After ordering a couple rolls (Hawaiian and Haduken rolls) and some hot sake (don't judge me), out came the normal soup and salad combo. Once the rolls came out and I took the first bite I was brought to a euphoric sushi bliss....it's been a while since I've had quality sushi like this place offers! Once I was stuffed and could hold no more, out came a dish of watermelon - which couldn't be resisted... I will definitely be back here soon!

This place definitely pleased my Japanese/food/sushi appetite..I got the C.S.T sushi roll and it was delicious..The next time I got the Crunchy Roll sushi w' the Dinner combo-: Teriyaki steak and tempura shrimp, and it was great. .. I'll definitely come back again and further explore the menu...I lived in Japan for 4 yrs, And I definitely feel like there is authenticity with this restaurant This is my sushi spot in town and I need this in my life .... this is the Volcano Roll, and the Spenard Roll and it's off the chain!!!!!

We love going here, we have gone often and we are never disappointed. I will always chose this restaurant as my go-to for sushi. Recommend to anyone who wants delicious sushi and warm comforting tea! You must try to tea if you like tea. It’s the best tea I’ve ever had. My husband doesn’t like tea, and even he has multiple cups when we go here. It’s the best!

I’ve lived on the west side for a few years and have never heard of this place. Honestly, I don’t think I can go to any other sushi restaurant because Arigato definitely takes #1 for me! I got the Sushi Imperial & Spenard roll w/ spicy tuna. Everything was so delicious, and what wasn’t pictured was the tofu appetizer, steak bento & pork bento but all were just as good! Highly recommend this amazing Japanese restaurant.

The food was really really good. It’s a cute little restaurant that reminds me of the one I went to in Okinawa Japan. The food and service was really great!
