Sub part for the area. I had a beef vegetable dish. My wife had the udon noodles with vegetables and tofu. We had a side of tekka moki and meso soup. I would say they are cutting corners on ingredients and spices pretty hard. The dish was saused with beef stock and corn starch. The vegetables looked good, but unseasoned, they were disappointing. The best part of the meal was the udon noodles. They had a good texture. The rest of the dish was simple seemed vegetables and three pieces of tofu. Once again a sause or flavoring seemed to be missing. The meso soup was good. Large amounts of seaweed. The tuna rolls were a pretty big miss. Over vinegared and lacking in actual tuna. Overall Im disappointed in the meal considering the excellent japonese place across the highway.

The fish is very fresh, and the salmon sashimi is especially good. There are some creative maki rolls that you dont see at other places. Oh yeah, they are traditional and dont put freaking cream cheese on their sushi to please Americans who dont know what sushi is like. Its a place of reference for what good sushi is like. The non-sushi dishes are good too. Unlike many teriyaki or Chinese food places, they do not make things too strong in flavor. The taste is just right. It is definitely better than the low class Chinese/teriyaki shops. The only thing I think is bad there is the pho. It was not good because the broth wasnt tasty. Service is amazing.

Dont do it. If youre still considering eating here, simply burn your form of payment in order to secure a life of having never eaten here. I can ruin nearly any meal, if Im the cook. Its hard for me, unless Im trying, to ruin yakisoba. The yakisoba served here couldnt have been worse.The only reason I tried the yakisoba, which was for my son, was because I ordered sashimi that tasted...fishy. Im in the process of allowing the ecoli to finish my overall experience. Save your money, or burn it, like I said, instead.

This place is a joke: they should charge half the price for the quality they serve, which is about a step-and-a-half above Safeway sushi. The sashimi needed more flavor and the chicken teriyaki was rubbery under a cloying sauce. Though the young waiter was professional and friendly, the female server was rude when we picked up our order, at a completely empty restaurant at 8 PM on a Friday.

Excellent customer service! My family and I go to Ken Zaburos at least once a month and they remember our names and orders. I have never eaten their sushi, but highly recommend the Thai Basil Fried Rice! It is my favorite! Not only is it delicious, but also, I always have leftovers. I also recommend the Singapore Noodles and Sizzling Chicken!

Quiet, dependably good food (especially in the restaurant). Broad selection of Asian styles, including pretty tasty sushi. The basil fried rice is a specialty that I cant resist. Friendly staff happy to customize if you need it. Theyre not perfect on gluten, but work hard to limit it when asked. Theyre quite good with other allergies.

service for take out was acceptable. the sushi was not. who cakes fish eggs in and around California rolls? bleck. $50 not well spent. "smoked salmon" hardly smoked and obviously not fresh. yoi know its great when my cats dont event want the left over fish. Will try something non-sushi some time for one last chance.

We came in around 3 so there was only 1 server. Wait was okay. Staff was very lovely. Food amazing! Noodle bowl. Peppered beef. The peanut sauce that came with the spring rolls is the best Ive ever had. Would recommend to friends :) We did not sample their sushi this trip. Cant wait until next time when we can.

Delicate full flavors, good ingredients, generous servings, clean, quiet atmosphere where you can talk, good service, reasonable prices. Great Asian food, I love the General Tsos chicken and my wife likes the sushi. Ive liked every dish Ive had there. One of our favorite restaurants!

Combination of Japanses and Chinese dishes. Some tastes better than others, although lately its been more disappointing than not. Give it a shot, you might like it, theyve been there for many years, so clearly some people like it. As for me - there are better choices out there.

Ken and his wife are the nicest, sweetest, hard working couple. They always remember who we are and the food unbelievable. They are always kind and the food is decent for my dads diabetes. We love it here and cant see ourselves going anywhere else. Highly recommended.

A relaxed pace, and truly lovely food. Whether you done alone or with a small group, the owners are very kind and friendly. Its fun to sit at the sushi bar and take his suggestions for what to try. Dont come if youre in a hurry, there is generally only one waitress.

**phad Thai, had too much garlic, and too spicy for **. Also, we ordered Mongolian beef, it was too sweat. Also, we ordered two rolls California and spicy tuna, too much rice. None of the four items were worth our money. Not coming back.

Do not be fooled crab pots are straight cream cheese rangoons, the thin crisp is great but not a hint of crab. The sushi was not cold or fresh. If never order here again. Maybe their Chinese is better. I didnt like the won ton soup.

Slow service when we went here for lunch but the 2 sushi lunch specials we ordered were very good; in particular the rolls. The maki sushi was average good for our area. Maybe the best tasting hot & sour soup I have had.

Literally the only patrons in the restaurant on a Sunday evening; even so, service was terrible. The dishes were average and as such not a great value. Our search for a great family sushi spot continues.

Food was ok. They have a very large menu, but nothing special. I would recommend not getting delivery. They just charged us $11 in delivery fees for two entrees. Never again.

I go to this place all the time. Korean Seafood Noodle soup looks interesting but tastes delicious! (Very spicy though so watch out!) Tons of choices and the people are friendly!

Clean, fresh food done well by the owners. Sushi is excellent and fresh. The Pan Asian items are well cooked and flavorful without being too sweet or salty.

Excellent, varied selection of pan-asian food. Quick, helpful service and a casual atmosphere. A little on the pricey side, but definitely worth checking out.

The outside looks shabbier than the inside. Food was good. Service wad sub par. Longer than average wait times for being the only customer during lunch.

The bento box lunches are very good deals. The sushi tastes fresh. I especially like the detail of using real laquered chopsticks with chopstick rests.

Their panaang salmon curry was delicious although slightly over priced at almost 17 dollars. And their bubble tea was very watery.

Shrimp rolls were 95% rice and 5% shrimp. Much more rice than any other sushi Ive ever been. Seared salmon niguiri was good.
