I have had better $1 instant noodles udon. I don't know what they served me, but it was sickly sweet and the noodles tasted like plastic. It was disgusting, but what made me gag was the fact that they had the audacity to charge 15 dollars for what clearly came out of a plastic package and microwaved... Their sushi was terrible as well. They were clearly skimping on the actual sushi and jamming the rolls full of the cheap ingredients. All I could taste was the large globs of cream cheese in the roll I ordered.. Service was slow for a fairly empty restaurant and the waitress was unknowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was uninviting, booth was uncomfortable, and decor was tacky. I have no idea how this place is rated so high... What is it about the suburbs that attract bad restaurants with suspiciously high ratings?I had high hopes going in, but those hopes were quickly dashed. Only eat here if you don't know what Japanese food is actually supposed to taste like.. actually if you don't, just go buy some instant udon and HEB sushi. It will be a fraction of the price and still taste better than this slop.
It was ok. Nothing spectacular but good enough to deserve another try. The bento box I would definitely skip next time and order rolls instead.The Green Mussels were better than expected and had a really nice heat to them.Service was good and place was nice and clean.
I was in the area, looking for a new place to eat lunch. I tried this place for the first time today, 6/1/2022. It’s located in a nice shopping center in Stone Oak. It’s small, cozy, and clean and has an inviting ambience with lots of natural light from the windows. I was immediately greeted with a smile from the hostess as I walked in and was seated. I had the vegetable gyoza as an appetizer, which was fried lightly and crisp and the dipping sauce was flavorful. The green salad was fresh and plentiful with a couple of slices of tomato and cucumber slices, plenty of greens and shredded carrots and a side of ginger dressing. I already knew just with those two dishes that the rest of my meal would be just as good. I ordered the Lennon Pepper Tuna Roll which was fresh, tasty and delicious. I also ordered the salmon skin hand roll which I love for the crunchiness of the salmon skin and all the ingredients came together well. I was happily pleased with my new experience here. I hate spending $$ on a meal that isn’t good, so I usually stick to what I know. I’m glad I tried this place, everything was fresh and delicious!! I regret not taking pics!! I just ate it all up!!
It's great to see a good sushi restaurant in Stone Oak. The rolls are delicious and priced right (for the area). The staff was polite and attentive. The only critique I have is there is a shortage of salmon or tuna focused rolls. But if you like shrimp rolls, you're in luck. The tuna nigiri is a good deal and the rolls were well balanced yet elaborate. The two of us did lunch for under $40. Not bad. I'm going back!Update 5/22Dinner tonight was delicious. The rice crispy app was a good start. I really enjoyed the Luis and Rainbow rolls for good'ol classic fish based sushi. I recommend the Marilyn Monroll for something different. It's a sweet and savory roll, using strawberry and fish. Add some soy and wasabi for an amazingly rounded flavor. They have a decent Saki selection, too. I found the special Philly had too much cream cheese. It really overpowered the rest of the roll. But that's a pretty typical mistake with cream cheese, imo. I think I might try a poke bowl next time. Those looked yummy. Table for four had a filling dinner for$120+ tax.
I ordered Alex sushi, rainbow and tuna sashimi, the rolls are good, average sushi. The tap water had a funky tasting. In addition the waitress maybe was her first day because was texting on her phone the whole time, super slow and she didn’t even notice I accidentally spill soy sauce which I had to clean up by myself. The menu is extensive and it was like a “magazine” without the prices. Undoubtedly it was funny because I had to see the online menu to find the prices and that “magazine” to clarify what was the rolls made of…
Service is SO SLOW here, like ridiculously slow. I’m not sure if this was the waitress’s first day or if she just kept forgetting about our table. Took 25mins to order. Never got my drink refilled after asking, took another 20 mins for her to bring the check, and another 15 to pick the check back up. I will never dine in again but will continue to order through Ubereats.
Great sushi, fun appetizers, friendly staff. The menu has some fun items that are standards but still aren't available everywhere - temaki cones for one.
I always order sushi here because it’s down the street from my house. The wait time they quote is never right, they’ll tell you 30 min but you end up waiting 50 minutes. Last night I waited forever and the sushi quality was terrible, brown avocados were used and tasted mushy, and the sushi fell apart. I spend too much money here for poor quality. I’m done with them.
This was our first time there and we weren’t happy with our waitress Nicole who served us . The place wasn’t even busy and she wasn’t friendly either. She went around the table and took everyone order then I told her my order but I guess she didn’t understand the words are coming out of my mouths in English or what because everyone else got their foods but me. I waited and thought the cook took a little bite longer for my food but come to find out she never put my order in. My sister told me to asked her but I said never mind and left it alone but the manager I’m sure heard it and told her something but she never came to the table to asked how was our foods or everything alright. So overall my experience was horrible and if they didn’t take our tips out already then I will not even tip her at all because she don’t deserve it nor she didn’t earn it. We will never go back there again because who ever was the manager or owner don’t care about their customer’s period. If I had to rated it then it would be zero not one star.
Food was delicious, so fresh and the atmosphere so tranquil
