15 October 2025Great experience overall. We came here before the dinner rush and we're seated immediately. The menu has a VAST and DELICIOUS selection of all types of sushi and appetizers. Service was really, really fast and we only had to order once from their paper menu where you mark how many orders of each thing you want.Parking lot next to it, fairly priced for AYCE sushi and the food was quality. Definitely coming back here.

29 September 2025A unique and cozy place to experience the best Japanese cuisine that you can't expect from anywhere else...Great couple running the restaurant. I think you should try it at least once, come with an open mind.

23 September 2025At first glance you'd think this was some hole in the wall joint. Alas, you're wrong - again. Tekka is the second home of the sweetest Japanese couple that makes the best sushi this side of the Mississippi and the other side. The better half spends her time in the kitchen cooking wholesome warm Japanese dishes to order while you're up front and personal with the master chef watching him cut up your favorite fish. Get there early and wait outside cuz this place seats 11 max.
