Wonderful little find! We were looking for something different for lunch and my husband found them on google. So glad we did. Food is amazing! Staff is amazing! Experience was amazing!We started with the calamari. This was full size rings not little tiny pieces. Batter was light and not over powering, seasoning was terrific, peppers and onions were grilled so they were not hot but very flavorful.For our meals we ordered the spicy noodles at a medium heat. Again, amazing flavor, crispy veggies and tender beef. Also ordered the pad thai with beef. Just the right level of sweet.Excellent experience and will be back soon! Support our small businesses, they are the background of our amazing city!

Customer service in the front is terrible! Especially the girl with the 4 tattoo on her neck. This is not the first rude encounter I've had with her. I said spicy pork and she proceeded to put spicy tuna. When I said no not spicy tuna she proceeded to look at me like I was stupid. Asked for jalapeños as a topping, she put 2 slices of jalapeños. Ok fine. My total came out to $13.01. I gave her $14 and I had no penny. She gave me $0.75 back and I was waiting for the rest of my change, but then she said everything's already in the bag. I asked her wasn't my total $13.01? She said yea. I said well you only gave me 75¢ and then she gave an attitude and gave me another quarter. Never greeted us when we walked in, doesn't say thank you. If you don't like your job in customer service, find one that doesn't require that skill.

I have been once for a donut and the parking lot is small and cramped. The lines can be long because visalia doesnt have alot of or any other comparative places that similar food and drinks. The modern vibes of this place is fine but nothing exciting. The donuts are good of course, donuts are good in general I think ?. The thing I wanted to talk about was their Korean corndogs. No where esle in visalia can you find a Korean corndog and they are so good. I had them back at this great place in LA, so I was excited to see them offer them. We got two and they were $10-$11 dollars EACH. 10 dollars for a deep fried hotdog with cheese. Not cheap compared to the other places I have tried out side of the valley. I bought them anyway because I wanted to try it once. We bought two, one with cheese and a hot dog, one with out cheese, both with spicy mayo on top. So these are Definitely not worth the price if you dont pay extra for the cheese, in my opinion the cheese is what makes the Korean corn dog. I would like to note that these were slightly disappointing not only in price but also with the cheese quality. Other k.cs I have had the cheese is melty in the inside and pulls apart like when you pull apart a slice of cheese pizza, but with these the batter was still hot so it wasnt a temperature issue, the cheese wasnt melty and was kinda hard and stiff like they left in the freezer to long. Over all Im not super impressed with this place, the prices, or the quality. I wish we had more places like this in the valley so there was some competition.Also its worth it to note the spicy mayo gave my skin an allergic reaction and I had small burns around my mouth, I have never had that happen before with any spicy mayo so thought I would mention that here.

One of the best food Ive ever had. This asian fusion restaurant is 10 stars for me!!! Every dish we had was fantastic and made it with love. We ordered deluxe nigiri (chefs choice), yellow tail collar bone, lumpia, agedashi tofu, and cucumber. Too bad I didnt upload photos. It was too good to miss as soon as they served it. I highly recommend this place. Very affordable and scrumptious. Not to mention their lumpia is home made. The owner was very polite and friendly. Was very happy we found this place. We will see you again soon.

I typically set my expectations low for sushi restaurants out in the middle of nowhere and not really fancy dining. Im kicking myself now, though for not having ordered much more. The fish was incredibly fresh (Saturday evening), delicious, and seasoned just right. I ordered the Harley and Butterfish rolls along with the uni nigiri, I highly suggest both rolls. But my favorite part was the uni, make sure to order extra to share because this is something you deserve for yourself (if you like uni)!I was extremely surprised when I tasted the uni nigiri. I was expecting a normal run-of-the-mill uni, but no, the uni tasted like that you would get at a five star restaurant. It was just the right soft and melting consistency, nodes of buttery flavor, with a little sweetness. I had to share my uni before I even tasted it. Had I known then what I know now, I wouldve growled like a cat at anyone trying to take my uni.That aside, the Butterfish was my favorite of the two rolls I ordered (but I still loved the Harley). The butterfish was seared to perfection just the right mix of tenderness and chewiness. Sitting on top of a delectable tempura shrimp and crab roll, which they remove part of the tail so you can eat all the way to the fins with no shell. They have a delicious and tangy sauce that I drizzled (take-out due to COVID) on top which added a gentle smoky and citrus, peppery, and slight sting of spice to the roll. Please get this roll for yourself too.The Harley roll had a perfect crunch with the lemon on top with buttery salmon (a favorite mixture of two flavors) on top of the tempura sushi and crab roll. This roll also had a special sauce that tasted like a mix of sesame and mustard. This roll, too, was delicious and I highly suggest it but the Butterfish roll was the winning contender if you have to choose between the two.Lastly, the staff and chefs are very friendly and you can still see them smile under their masks. I was an a**hole who arrived 20 mins before closing but they still took me in, greeted me, and made me a delicious and savory meal. The order took about 10-15 minutes in total (as it seemed a couple of guests placed orders ahead and several to-go orders already placed over the phone or online), not a long wait for a great sushi meal.Pricing is on point for the area and quality, they could probably get away with charging a little more but might be out of the price point for the area.If youre driving by, please give this place a chance! You wont regret it.

Food is always great! But service is horrible! If seated first and another group gets seated after, they get drinks and gets to order first. I've noticed that a few times whenever we go. The other day I placed an order for pick up. My call in order was at 4:41. I get there about 35 minutes after the call, paid and was told my food was being packed. I said okay. Stood there and waited. 10 minutes later a girl notice I was standing there and she said she'd checked my food. She went to the back and never came back. Waited a bit more and I had to stop another girl and ask her to check on my food to see what's going on because my one year old and his dad was waiting in the car. She never came back too. I see a different girl come out with some food that was bagged and had no idea who it was for. She put it down on the counter and went through receipts and still couldn't figure out who it was for. She asked another waitress and she said she didn't know too and left. The lady that brought out the food opened the bag and saw my name on it. Handed to me, no apology, or “Thank you! Have a nice day”. By the time I got my food, it was a litttle after a hour from when I called in to make the order! They weren't even busy during that time. Very disappointed. They need to work on their customer service. My baby was crying when I got back to the car. We'll see about returning. Not anytime soon at least.
