“ 52123 Another excellent meal. Tried the Seared Tataki Tacos, on a deep fried bed of seaweed. Tasted great, but hard to handle. Also tried the Tataki Bruschetta, topping is great, but would prefer a thinner can crispier piece of bread. Still loving the Crunch Roll, and Nigiri was also excellent. Prior Super fresh and tender sushi, attentive staff, and unique TAPAS, are the reasons for NEEDING to visit this establishment. Julie greeted us at the door, and were seated immediately Wed, 5pm. Physical menus were presented when we asked QR photo below, drinks and Edamame were served immediately. There are 2 seating areas inside, making it the areas feel cozy and inviting. Even the traditional simple sushi choices felt upscale relative to most places Ive eaten. The chef does an exceptional job of putting his special twist on nearly everything served. Our Sake, Unagi sashimi was quite fresh and tender. Even California Rolls were delicious. The Crunch Roll will now be my goto Roll here at Dash, awesome. We also asked got an order of Julies favorite Tapas, the Baked Baby Scallop. It wasnt our favorite, but it presented really well. Hope to try the Ahi Tuna Bruschetta next time. Its hard to show restraint when ordering since everything looks so good. 5 Stars for this sushitapas restaurant. Already looking forward to my next visit. ”
“ 7202024 I tired the 5 piece omakase, Sakura blossom roll, and a fried udon! The nigiris are gently yet balanced flavored! Really pleasant experience and I hope to visit again! ”
“ Fabulous food taste textures and appearance. When you want to sample a large variety of flavors but dont want to consume too much, Dash is a great choice of restaurant. ”
“ Fantastic place for quick bite and drinks. Nice small plates, balancing traditional and innovations. Love it ”
“ The kakuuni and unagi fried were very good. The chirashi was pretty good but a bit over priced for the little you get. The tofu salad was not too interesting, just tofu, avocado, and their normal salad ”
“ Very much like a izakaya where you can order small dishes, beer, and drinks. Large variety of dishes. Agedashi tofu, karaage, tempura were pretty good. Sushi rolls were on the small side. Also the sashimi omakase had small thin almost translucent slices of fish. Not sure why they have to do this. Prices for sushi and sashimi are pretty high. Overall nice relaxed atmosphere. ”
“ Thought the sushi quality was high and the food came out fast. Appreciated the unprompted refills of tea too at some restaurants it can be hard to get more tea! Particularly enjoyed the daily specials of sushi from Toyosu fish market. I can see why some people found the portions small but it tasted delicious so I would get it again. Croquette and tempura were good. I found the tuna salmon avocado tower awkward to eat and preferred soy sauce and wasabi on it rather than the sweet miso sauce provided, but I guess I like my miso on specific foods. Very generous with the avocado and it was perfectly ripe. Tamogoyaki was well executed excellent flavor and the chashu had a good texture and was yummy. The egg wasnt as fluffy as I might like but it was delicious and Id definitely recommend it. Ugh now Im hungry and want the food. Definitely felt like a izakaya with a sushi focus felt very authentic! ”
“ We felt so lucky that we were able to catch this place on a busy Sunday afternoon with barely any wait. The food tasted so authentic in a setting to match. The chefs are exposed and you can watch them work their magic. We tried the tapas, the sushi, the specials nothing disappointed! It came out quick and hot with bold flavors. Just how we like it. Highly recommend checking this place out! Very cozy, intimate vibe with smooth jazz over head. Coming back soon! ”
