This place was amazing! The gentlemen who cooked for us and served us were very attentive and personal. We had a lovely conversation about the Philippines. The atmosphere is calming, clean and comfortable. Also, if you like spicy foods, they know just how to do it! Couldnt be happier with a last minute meal 😊

Quaint and quiet hidden gem, apart from some pickup orders, we were the only customers in the restaurant. All of the waitstaff and cooks were incredibly nice and offered plenty of options for flavoring such as garlic ginger sauce on the vegetables & yum-yum sauce (which is a very fitting name) on pretty much everything else. It is also a great place for Japanese food that does not break the bank! It was truly a wonderful experience with great service and delicious food! We will definitely be eating here again!

We ordered the Valcano rolls, Agadashi Tofu, Curry Udon, Scallop Dinner, Chefs Mix Sashimi, and Yellow Tail Nigiri. All were absolutely delicious, except for the curry udon which was just ok.

The food was seriously delicious! It exceeded my expectations, I had the shrimp and chicken fried rice, it was packed with all the right flavors. I think it’s the best fried rice I’ve ever had. The Japanese curry with Yakisoba noodles was so rich and mouthwatering. We also had the fried dragon roll which was crispy and not oily and the Rainbow roll was fresh and light. The service was welcoming and hospitable. 10/10 recommend.

I would give 6 stars if I could. I couldnt contain myself from taking a few bites before taking this picture. This is the hibachi special steak & chicken & shrimp. More than enough for 2-3 people. It also comes with soup and salad and I ate all of the salad before I remembered to take a picture. Chicken and Steak (well-done) was juicey. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice for a family outing. I will definitley come here again. Food here is amazing.

Came to eat on a weekday for dinner. Seeing the reviews I had high hopes. However the Sushi was nothing to write home about. It wasn’t bad, but certainly not good enough. Few things to mention1. There was hardly anyone at the restaurant. I have been to many sushi places and almost all are well seated. Seeing that the place had no one when we walked in, already scared me as I was worried if the sushi would be fresh.2. The sushi rice was not seasoned well. Sushi rice has a sweetness and saltiness that was missing in the rice here. It was quite bland.3. Most sushi places now serve both the low sodium and normal soy sauce, but here that option was missing. The only had the normal soy sauce.4. We had three different rolls, of which the volcano roll was something new. It has a fried seaweed wrapper, which made it fun to eat.Overall won’t recommend coming to this place if you are craving really good sushi.

It was very good experience over all. Good service great food and good ambiance. I think if your values are best customer service with great food option then you are a successful business.We went there very late last night. We asked them before reaching there as our eta was 9:52pm and they said they will take us . ✅best . Dinner was full on 3 course . Soup, salad and an then main course. We order filet mignon and shrimp with rice and shrimp with chow main and 2 Diet Coke . It was full filing. Our total bill was $78. But I think it was with every pennyI will recommend for everyone to try at least one time
