Higuma Japanese Restaurant

We were really excited to try out Higuma seeing a 4.6 star rating. Very seldom do we come across a 4.5+ sushi joint and somehow Higuma never went noticed. To sum it up, Higuma comes across really authentic. It is run by a Japanese owner and family and you can clearly taste the "non-commercial" way of preparing hearty Japanese food. Higuma does not try to be fancy and to a degree, it almost feels like home-cooked. This is very rare as most sushi places feel like a mini factory these days, making the same bland sushi over and over. We ordered a collection of daily specials (really pricey considering all the imported fish). The nigiri was definitely made with care and love. Whoever was behind the counter certainly cares about what he/she puts on the plate, making the sushi with quality ingredients. Everything felt fresh and wholesome. In large, we genuinely enjoyed the 10-piece custom nigiri set. So then why the 4 stars? First, the sushi is SMALL. When I say small, it probably is half the size of other regular Japanese restaurants. At first, it almost looked like a play set or toy display. So the fishes were cut small, as well as the rice that supports it. And where most sushis were great, the W5 wagyu was a massive disappointment. If they had used great wagyu (most likely they should have), over cooking it and serving it "lukewarm" was a huge mistake. Perhaps they made that one first and let it sit on the tray. I want to give Higuma another shot and the next time we come, we'll definitely go with the regular sorts. Hopefully the price will be more justifiable then. I see potential here!

The staff was very welcoming. However, the sushi size was so small. Food was not impressive overall.

My boyfriend and I both get it every time we visit. I hope this place gets the respect and recognition it deserves. If you stop by, make sure to try the beef, California rolls, and the chicken teriyaki. 🤤

We have been going to Higuma for years and have never had a bad experience. Higuma has by far the best and freshest sushi and Japanese food that we have found in the area. Service is always prompt and exceptional. Reasonably priced. Try it- you won’t regret it.
