“ This place is awesome! There's a lot of parking. The service is incredible and the food is absolutely delicious! The crab ragoons are the best I have ever had! We tried sushi, crab ragoons, and the bento. Everything was sooooo amazing! I definitely recommend trying this place! The servings are big too! ”
“ Stopped by while visiting on a work trip. Place was packed in the middle of the day on a weekday. There was a wait for tables but since I was riding solo they sat me right away. Was specifically looking for healthy meal options. The salmon bento box checked all of my needs of the list. Protein, sautéed vegetables, sushi, brown rice and gyoza. For under $15! What a deal! Not to mention it was TASTY! Definitely recommend. Will be stopping by next time I’m in town. ”
“ Went on a Wednesday night. Food was delicious and delivered in a timely manner. Server was very friendly. ”
“ My wife and I usually order the Bangbang Chicken Bowl, Chicken Sushi Roll, and Teriyaki Chicken Bowl. The Bangbang is a little spicy for her liking, but I enjoy the crunch of the green beans and corn with the breaded chicken. The teriyaki chicken bowl has good flavor, grilled chicken with onions, zucchini, and carrots. I personally don't like the carrots with my food because it is too sweet, but that's her favorite part. The chicken roll is fried chicken strips in a fried sushi roll with avocado and cream cheese. My wife dips hers in yum-yum sauce, I sip mine in soy sauce. Their yum-yum sauce is very tasty, just like you expect from similar establishments. One comes with the bowls, you have to pay $1 for each extra past that. Filling meal that most won't be able to finish, consistently good food every time. We typically do takeout, but have eaten there and been very pleased with service. The price is certainly fair for the amount of food you get, have never felt ripped off. ”
“ The food was absolutely fresh and tasted amazing! We tried the spring rolls, shrimp tempura, chicken & jumbo shrimp bowl (comes with rice, broccoli and carrots - removed the onions, mushrooms, and zucchini). My sister had the noodles and salmon bowl which she loved and the noodles were good. The portion of the food is perfect, the service was AMAZING, lots of parking, the only thing I didn’t care for was their yum yum sauce was super sweet and we all felt it didn’t match with the food, it’s also fairly close in the restaurant but still not bad and was a good experience! ”
