Okay, so I wanted to let other people know about the first time experience me and my girlfriend had here. We will never be returning here due to the following issues we had on our visit. 1. When we walked in we were not given any menus nor any kind of idea of if we were even going to get a server 2. We sat there and waited and waited and waited.... no one came to ask us what we wanted to drink, to give us menus or anything. 3. I was missing utensils on my side of the table, not to mention it was kind of dirty. 4. Before we even ordered, one of the girls tried to give us food that didnt belong to us. It was given to the man behind my girlfriend there after. 5. We finally were asked if we ordered and my girlfriend stated we didnt even have menus yet. We got the menus. 6. Several minutes pass after we put our menus down and waited to order. No eye contact was given from the waitress. She wasnt even the one to take our order, another male waiter came to ask, didnt write anything down. 7. Moments after we order another incorrect dish is delivered to our table. It sits there in front of us. We have to flag down a server to tell them its not ours. It is then delivered AGAIN to the man behind my girlfriend. 8. The first part of the order comes out, it was sushi, it was wrong. My girlfriend specifically asked and made sure the man heard it clearly. He says hell get it to her at no charge at least. The food quality was great, the food was crafted well, hot and tasty. The service was horrible and probably the worst dining experience Ive ever had. Not only were we upset by the wrong food deliveries but we heard the same from others around us. In the time we had been there for the first 15 minutes, there were at the very least 4 wrong food orders brought out to the wrong tables. No attempt was made by the staff to right their wrongs. There was no sincerity either. As a person who works in the food and service industry, I know for a fact that this is NOT acceptable. We will never return here. Its a real shame too since the food was so good. EDIT: an extra tid-bit, I got sick later on in the night.

Take the time to read this if you are going here. The food was pretty decent but we had an issue with the language barrier. Friday night and the place was packed, when we got there there was a couple of tables open but quickly filled up . There was a young guy and a young girl who did not speak or understand English and did not know what was going on but yet they had them as servers and greeters. There was an older lady running circles around them. She was sitting people, taking orders, serving food, and still trying to provide good service but she can not do it all in her own. Asked the young girl for a glass of water and an order or chicken teriyaki and she completely forgot. Had to ask the older lady for the glass of water and she brought it over after about 20 minutes of waiting and we also found out that the food was never put in because the young girl had forgotten. She offered to make it but by this time we had to leave. We had been there before but it had a different name so we figured we would give it a try, after experience we will not be coming back. Go check out Adoke a minute away which isnt much better food wise but way better service I love trying small restaurants because sometimes you will get the best food out of them since they have to compete with bigger names but not this time. Much props to the older lady for hustling her ass off but the other 2 younger servers have to learn their menu at least if they want to be a successful server and try learning the language a little better. If you cant communicate with the people you are serving it is inevitable that you are going to make mistakes and have un satisfied customers.

We went in for lunch. This is acutally the second time we dined in here and we did the all you can eat sushi. We read very good reviews the first time and wanted to try it out. The first time we were very unsatisfied, so we gave it another chance just to be sure but however, we ended up getting the same results. The quality of the sushi wasnt great, it was almost too warm to eat(fish textures were very mushy and and tasted old). The rice was very hard and dry and not only that, it took them almost 30 mins to bring us our food everytime we ordered and there was only 2 tables! Service was not bad but extremely slow. The booths (not sure why they have them for a place like this) are very uncomfortable.

I stopped in early in the evening when it was pretty quiet. I was greeted, offered a menu and seated quickly. I ordered from the all you can eat card. Soup came out really fast, then an appetiser, and fairly soon after was a huge plate of sushi and rolls. The fish tasted fresh, the rolls were good as well. All you can eat means thinner fish and more rice than average, but overall everything seemed well made. The inside is clean and modern, service is good too.

Well, the only thing I really like from here are their pork belly buns. The ramen is pretty bad, theres no flavor in the broth. I ordered shrimp tempura and it came with two pieces of shrimp, two onion rings, two fried broccoli pieces, and two fried pieces of some vegetable I couldnt identify. It sucked paying around 5 dollars for 2 pieces of what I actually ordered and a bunch of other fried things I did not want.

I think these are very good prices for the quality. The sushi is really good, especially the specialty rolls. And the ramen is amazing! I love to go on a cold winter night to get ramen or udon. The servers are extremely attentive and nice (sometimes there is a bit of a language barrier, but thats not a big deal). I would definitely recommend this place.

Great place for sushi but it took them 30 minutes to bring our food out and we didnt even order that much only were able to get one additional round after our first round and then when we talked to the manager she gave us 4.00 bucks off the total bill pretty ridiculous if you ask me not sure if I will be back here to eat again.

Ramen leaves a lot to be desired. The ramen did not look remotely like the picture, it was barely warm and tasted watered down. I am giving it 3 stars because the pork in the ramen was delicious, the staff was nice and very accommodating. I will probably not go back.

At $19.99 for all you can eat sushi during dinner, you just cant go wrong. Sushi is good quality, if a little small. But who cares when youy can eat all you want. My only complaint is that they can be atrociously slow at getting you refills on your drink.

I dont like sushi so Im rating this on the ramen. They only have a few ramen choices and I tried two, both good but the curry ramen was EXCELLENT. I also got teriyaki chicken and it was pretty good. Ill be back for the ramen. Nice service.
