For the price it's pretty good and was made fast. They genuinely have cool art. The guy was nice and hospitable. The building is one of the most beautiful in Lake Tahoe.
I was not in the mood for Sushi but my friends really wanted it and Tahoe City Sushi was available. We had to wait a while and after eventually getting seated, I was surprised at how good the food was. I’m not a fan of sushi and only will order limited items but the edamame and soup were excellent. The service was good but the restaurant definitely needs to be updated. I don’t mind eating at a dive but this place felt somehow different from a charming dive - more just rundown. I would have given four stars but it’s disappointing to read other reviews regarding the flags hanging in the window and what those flags mean. I didn’t pick up on that while I was there.

I was happy to eat sushi finally but as soon as I saw the "rising sun" flag on the window it was just disgusting. I wanted to say they should take down the flag but the place was closed even if it said open in the Google. To an owner of the place if you don't know what the flag means, please take it down or if you did it on purpose, I would say shame on you. That flag is Japanese Hakenkreuz Flag or Japanese War Criminal Flag.
Proudly displays the imperialist Japanese Rising Sun Flag. This flag represents the atrocities committed by Japan against South Korea, China, the Philippines, Indonesia and many other Asian nations during WWII. I wish I could rate this place a zero for displaying this symbol of hate.
Food was just okay. The presentation was better than the taste. Better sushi at other spots, in my opinion. Service could be better. We asked for some spicy mayo, and before I could mention teriyaki as well, the server walked off quickly. When I asked for it on her return, she rudely asked if there's anything else we needed as if she was bothered. Maybe not her intention to be rude, but it definitely came off that way.
I would have loved to eat here but we were turned away twice for showing up with a party of eight. We called ahead the first time (informing them of our party size) and were told as long as we showed up after about 7 we would be fine. We waiting for 15 minutes at the entrance only to be told they would not be able to serve us. We called ahead the next day (5:30) and I was told they don’t do reservations and it’s a small restaurant and that even now (at the time of the call) they only had a table for four. There was an awkward pause while the lady was clearly waiting for me to give up and hang up So I said thank you anyway and goodbye. I’m sure it’s a lovely place if you have a small group but I wouldn’t bet of the quality of the customer service based on my experience
Sushi was exactly what I was looking for and this seems to be the only sushi spot on the north shore of Tahoe. Our server was on it and got us everything very quickly. I got the dragon roll and the hollister roll and I really liked the hollister. Definitely met our needs for the evening!
Came here after a day snowboarding at Palisades. Very fresh and delicious sushi! Did not disappoint. It is hard to find fresh and tasty sushi coming from the Reno area, so I would say that this place is worth a trip to Tahoe and paying a la carte. Only issue was that we ordered hot green tea as we were cold from a day in the snow, but the tea was luke warm at best. The hot and flavorful Miso soup made up for this!
