The disappointment is strong with this one. We were excited to have a new Asian restaurant in the neighborhood and having been regulars at the Romios that previously occupied this space, the anticipation was strong. It really is a great location with a nice view of the lake. We bought a Groupon to use for our first visit and rolled in prepared to be wowed. Strike one was when they refused to honor the Groupon because it was apparently for four people. We hadnt realized this but offered to spend enough to cover four people. They refused and basically turned us away. I address this to all restaurants who sign up for Groupon to get new clientele in the door. When people plan far enough ahead to purchase a Groupon to use the first time they visit your restaurant, turning them away is dumb on a level that could qualify you to hold public office. You have an opportunity to make a great impression and gain a long term customer but you instead opt to alienate them. Strike two was the food. We came back with some friends because we werent just going to throw the Groupon away after we paid for it but it is safe to say they were on the bad foot before we even walked through the doors for our second attempt to eat there. Unfortunately, the noodle dishes we ordered were mushy and gross. Really, the only thing that was notably good were the dumplings. Credit where its due, those were pretty tasty. The Honey Walnut Prawns were good as well but not really any better than they would have been anywhere else. We wouldnt have returned to this restaurant based just on the food alone. Even odds for suck v awesome are not good odds when youre running a restaurant. Apparently though, two strikes is not enough for these guys. They managed to hit the trifecta of suck and get thrown out completely with their price/portion ratio. The Groupon covered $40 and the four of us threw down another $60+ for our sub par meal. i can think of so many places where we would have paid closer to half that and had a considerably better meal and a bag of leftovers for later. We didnt try the sushi but after the lousy overpriced noodles, why would we ever come back?

The wife and I tried this place out on a date night as we have drove past it a few times since it opened and I was curious. At the time there was no reviews on any website so we had no clue what kind of food they had or if it was any good. In short, we left very happy. The bottom floor is for families as a restaurant and the top floor has a great view for 21+ groups and is more of a lounge. Menus are the same on both floors. We sat upstairs and ordered a few sushi rolls for lunch. The place was not crowded and the staff were very friendly. The decor was a bit too much in my opinion and the music was "elevator" type which was a bit annoying. This is the only reason I took a star away... now for the important part... The sushi was amazing. It was hand delivered to our table by the chef and you can instantly tell that he put so much care into his food he prepped. There are lots of details in the look of the food and the flavor was on point. Prices were a bit higher than the average sushi joint but it seemed worth it to me. I will definitely be back, especially now that I know it has noodles, sushi and a few other Japanese items. The bottom floor being family friendly is absolutely great. I love this place and it is near top of my list for sushi in Everett.

The food was excellent, the staff was so friendly and the view was excellent. They have Japanese and Chinese food so you might get your food at different times as they make it as you order it so some takes longer but when you are with friends the wait makes it even better. They have a tea assortment and beautiful tea diffuser pots so you can share instead of each getting a cup of tea to buy, that was nice. They have an upstairs lounge/bar and the staff up there is incredibly nice also, we just went up to look but the view was incredible, on a rainy day! They have one room in the lounge at the end you can reserve for a semi private party with curtains. It used to be Romanos Italian Restaurant but I would go here again and again, specially if it was a special occasion.

First time here so we are both excited and dont have a lot of expectations. The place is quite elegantly renovated (previosly a pizza place). Staff was very attentive. Very nice vibe with young crowd and plush open seating in the upstairs bar. We were quickly seated and ordered what sounded good. The braised pork hand pulled noodles, sashimi, chicken Xiao long bau and Chicken wings. The foods cane shortly after to our Surprise as the place were quite busy. The noodles were skillfully flavored with a hint of szechuan peppercorn and savory balanced sauce. The sashimi were fresh and the fried chicken wings were nicely flavored with garlic. Will definitely be back.

If you are very well acquainted with authentic Asian food, this is not the place for you. I can see how it might be liked by those that are not. Flavors are all a little off and a little Americanized. Service was mediocre although workers are nice and polite. We even had to just walk to the front desk to pay because nobody would bring our bill even after we asked. We heard good things and wanted to try it out ourselves. Would not return. There is much better out there.

Ive never done a review but I was honestly super 80 Food would have been good IF it was hot. When we got there it looked and felt very nice. The staff seated us and our waiter was friendly. We were given a menu and was told to iy 6share because they were short menus. We ordered a root beer and sake for drinks and the lettuce wraps and soup for appetizers. They brought the lettuce wrap out and then the sake. The sake was cold and they forgot my sons root beer.

I gotta say: the food was awesome, drinks generous and atmosphere great. It was a Saturday night and it took an hour to finally get the last of the food we ordered 5 min after arriving. It sucked but the food was delicious and above expectations. Hand pulled noodles made in house? Awesome. Chicken Chou Mein, tempura roll so good. Kimchi was different and surprisingly delicious. Definitely a beautiful view, window seats are worth it. Hopefully service speeds up!

I personally would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Below is a brief review. -The food is alright but is nothing special. -The parking situation is terrible, not enough spots at the location so they have to valet park your car. While it is free it is customary to leave a tip so it just becomes another expense at the end of your night. And an awkward situation if you didnt bring along any cash. -The servers were extremely slow and forgetful.

Recommended by a friend and stopped by to check it out. Loved the second floor view of the lake! Food was very good and a friendly staff. I ordered a specialty drink and they had a hard time figuring out how to make it even though it was on their drink menu and it didnt arrive until after the entre showed up. But the food and atmosphere will have me back for another try... best Asian food Ive had in Snohomish county so far...
