The food here was good. It was a little confusing finding them. The entrance is in an alley on the side. At first we thought they were closed but finally figured out where the entrance was. The service was good. Seems to be a family run business, very friendly. Most of the food was served in disposable dishes...plastic plates etc. I felt that tool away from the nice atmosphere and good food. All in all, a worthwhile place to try.

Order from here on doordash every so often. I do need to start going to pick it up cause their doordash markup is a bit high but overall I've always been pleased and food is delicious and of good quality. Wish they would offer noodles with their hibachi combos.

I only went here once. They did not offer tap water, which really bothered me. No cups!!! Huge omission. I don't want to buy bottled water because it's expensive and it creates unnecessary waste. Also, they only served food in disposable plates and bowls. When I'm paying to eat in a restaurant I'd rather pay a dollar more and have actual nice plates. Also, the hot soup was served in a polystyrene container. Polystyrene, although relatively safe for storing dry foods, is NOT safe for drinking hot liquids or soup out of. This really, really rubbed me the wrong way, to the point where I didn't want to come back. Seriously, why can't they at a bare minimum, serve the food in a paper cup or something? I would prefer they charge slightly more money and serve it in a proper ceramic bowl like most restaurants on main street do. And then there are the chopsticks, just those low-quality flakey disposable ones. This place is such a waste. The quality of the food was really good. I wish they would just serve it with real utensils and charge a little more and pay someone to wash dishes. I would happily come back if they did this, and served tap water in glasses the way virtually every other restaurant does. Please respond to this review if you've addressed these concerns because I want to come back and give you another chance! Thanks!!!

Do not order ramen from this place! It looked nothing like the pic in the menu. The noodle is too soft, like overcooked instant noodle, the egg is basic cold boiled egg, and the soup is worse than what you can get from a pack of instant noodle…the Ramen here failed every expectation of a basic bowl of ramen. The shrimp is fresh, that is why I give two star instead of one.

Tried this for the first time in hopes of a convenient sushi location on Main St. My expectations were low given the restaurant serves Cajun boils alongside sushi but the reviews were generally positive.We ordered a California roll, spicy tuna roll, Alaska roll, shrimp tempura roll, gyoza and seaweed salad. The overall quality was just so-so. Perhaps a slight step above grocery store sushi. The shrimp tempura roll was particularly disappointing; rubbery and flavorless. The gyoza, which is typically pan fried, appeared to have been deep fried. There are much better places for sushi in the area, albeit less convenient for us. I don't see us returning.

The food was good, comfy. We had some food restrictions, they respected and accommodated accordingly. The server was friendly, the cook was great too!We ordered rolls and Salmon items. The salmon was well-made. Rolls were tasty.

I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to cook during midterms so I wanted some takeout… I never remember to write reviews but I felt like I should leave one for them since they’re a newer restaurant! :) It was my first time eating here and I decided to try their hibachi steak fried rice. For the price and the quality, you really can’t beat it! It’s really flavorful and there’s a lot more meat than I was expecting (which is a good thing!) :) Most places skimp on the meat! I look forward to coming back another time to try something else!

This place is immaculate. And the food is made from quality ingredients. I give out neither of those compliments freely but in this case they're accurate. If you like sushi this is where you should try next.

I am so disappointed in the quality of food. The ramen was literally spaghetti in regular bland chicken stock and just straight up over boiled egg. The furthest thing from authentic. The chicken teriyaki was so flavorless and dry. The tempura was really crisp and nice and the sushi rolls were all good, but I just literally can’t get over that sad excuse for ramen. Oh not to mention we waited over an hour for all this to come out. They definitely need more staff and better food preparation methods bc this was just not it at all.

We had the sashimi and a roll. Best sashimi ever. The slices of salmon, tuna, and a few other types of fish were generous and beautifully presented. We always like their roles. Great place to go and the owner is very friendly.
