The service is spotty...most of the time it is great but when its not, it is the absolute worst!! I have waited over 25 minutes after being seated to have a server approach the table for the first time and an hour after that to finally receive my order. Spotty service or not, I keep going back because the food is fantastic. The absolute best egg rolls and pan fried dumplings. The shrimp fried rice is exceptional and I wish they bottled their orange-ginger salad dressing. The sushi is good, but Ive had better. The pad thai is fantastic too. Dine in is a gamble but the pickup service is quick and the food is packaged well.

Terrible all around! I am visiting from out of town, I placed an order to be delivered to my hotel. They stated it would be an hour, it took two hours with a follow up call. The restaurant was 4.5 mi from my hotel, so not that far. The food was generic at best. The teriyaki was super watery and the chicken looked and tasted as if it was microwaved. The sushi rolls were on par with grocery store grab and go rolls. There was no real fish in it, but imitation crab and tuna paste. If you are use to any Japanese that is somewhat good, or live on the west coast just avoid this place.

Extremely disappointed! I order the Gyoza dumplings and the Wonton Soup with BBQ Pork. The container was filled with a lot of broth, but very few vegetables and two partial pieces of the wontons with some of the wonton floating at the bottom along with a few pieces of BBQ pork. This was very discouraging for a large container, which is the only size you can get. Even more disappointing were the Gyoza dumpling, the filling in it was extremely small. This is the first time I have ordered from here, I wont rule them out yet, but perhaps I will do better with the Sushi.

Food is great, thats why I am a returning customer. With that said, the lunch time rush is horrible. When picking up an order, it takes anywhere from 40+ minutes (from the time of ordering) to get your order out the door. I think they may be understaffed during this time. So if youre ordering for pick up between 11:30 and 1pm, you should add an additional 10 to 15 minutes (in addition to their 20 minute time frame) before picking up.. or youll be waiting a while.

This is the best kept secret in town. Located in a strip mall in the site of a former Chinese restaurant, it is easily overlooked. Once discovered, it is difficult to stay away. The food is consistently excellent and beautifully presented. Wait staff is efficient and pleasant. A local treasure that should be the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of Asian food.

A trendy little place to eat. I recommend going there for lunch or dinner. It has a great Thai iced coffee and I always enjoy their bentos. They serve sushi too (I prefer California rolls). Their decor is thematic and modern. The food is good and I have never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes to be seated. When I go it is usually quiet.

Placed an order on Yelp within the delivery frame. I guess they decided they were done for the night, because an hour later we got a cancellation notice. Heres a tip- dont accept orders from Yelp and post that youre open of youre not. Oh, and thanks for charging my card- now I have to wait 3 days for it to be refunded.

First time eating at this restaurant. The food was excellent. Fed the whole family with various dishes and sushi. Of course I tasted each one and there wasnt a bad bite in the bunch. The service was excellent. The drinks never ran dry and food came out fresh and hot. I highly reccommend. I will definitely eat there again.

You know its rare to find this kind of affordability and quality. I ordered the panang curry, if you like butter chicken youll love this. One of the most well made dishes I have had from an Asian restaurant in a while. The drinks are not very good though. They run sweet with low abv. Other than that excellent overall.

I dont know how people leave positive reviews for this place. Im pretty often restaurant eater. Ordered unagi rolls for KIDS and they bring me unagi with spicy mayo on top! Tom Kha soup is a joke(no coconut milk as described in the menu). Waitress couldnt answer any of the menu questions. Never coming back.

Extremely slow service (30 - 45 min.) before food arrives. I think they concentrate more on their take-out orders than on serving their customers in the restaurant. That being said, they have decent sushi and noodles and a reasonable Happy Hour Food Menu.

My husbands sushi roll and soup came out before our appetizers. My soup came out after the appetizers but was cold. My sushi roll never came. Service was terrible but the food was really good. Was disappointed though and will not be back.

The food was absolutely amazing! I cant wait to go back to try some other menu items. It is a very nice place, so much that i felt out of place picking up carryout in my jeans, boots and Carhartt. Lol.

Food is delicious, ambience is pleasant but service is slow. They often forget/ mix up orders. Has happened to me multiple times. This is why Im giving it 3 stars instead of 4 or 5.

Not your average Asian stop. Excellent food with a great variety of choices including a large sushi selection. A number of great vegetarian options. Worth visiting more than once.

Was craving sushi. and tried the oyakudon, sushi, and red curry were delicious! We thought the red curry was really smooth, delectable, and flavorful. Awesome service!

Ive only ordered carry out, so I cant speak to the service. The food is excellent. The best Thai that I have found in Lake Forest and the surrounding towns.

Its a great affordable place to grab some Thai/Chinese food. My favourite is the lunch box. 10% discount if you work for Abbott/Abbvie. Nice staff

Nice curries and the kids loved the sesame chicken (much like orange chicken). Service was not great though, but maybe they just had a bad day!

Service can be hit or miss, busy at lunch from large work crowds. Smaller tables are often ignored. Great food service aside.

Great food, friendly staff, and reasonable price. Egg rolls and the crunchy maguro roll are AMAZING!
