    Just salads with side rice, onions, a few seaweed morsels, & cubed tuna, sans sauce, dressing, or flavor~ not a poké bowl folks.
    Queen B.

    Disappointing! Bland, overpriced, & unsatisfying. Ordered two poke bowls, one regular tuna & the other spicy~ we were charged $14.95 for the plain, $13.95 for the spicy tuna. Why are they being priced differently?They are the exact same dish except the 'spicy' had a marinade thinly basted over the tuna. They also added spicy drizzle on both side rices. Most importantly, these are not justifiable "poke bowls", but more honestly just like a spring green salad with side rice and some raw fish, sliced onions, with a literal few slivers of seaweed. Its unacceptable! No flavor. No sauce. No traditionally included toppings that MAKE the poke bowl scrumptious and complex: like potential pickled ginger, scallions, edamame, carrots, mango/pineapple, cucumber, avocado, crunchies etc with actual sauces. It was ONLY onions & a bit of seaweed besides greens, rice, fish. I literally had to go to my fridge & pull out some salad dressing & sweet chili sauce just to eat it, bc it was mostly dry packed spring greens under the onions & cubed fish. The drinks here cost more than other boba tea shops & at this rate, it feels like this is just lazy pseudo asian cuisine~ serving every dish as a cost cutting bare minimum clone of the other dishes just to be hyped by the selection only to discover its lacking any soul or variety of flavor. Bland & Basic is what's being served here, & that's why it isn't thriving. Our two salads & a drink were not even close in value to a $50 meal. We will never go back. I hope they can step it up & realize that people will patron the restaurant IF it serves truly delicious food- they are falling short of this, & that makes it a waste of all the costs & effort to even have it there at all. My suggestion: drop the entrees & food selections & focus on boba/tea/smoothies/coffee/specialty drinks & desserts. Or hire a talented asian-fusion chef.

    The restaurant is located in a small retail shopping center. It's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. First impressions are that it is clean, fresh, and reasonably priced. The menu has a variety of items from which to choose (more than just sushi). I ordered the vegetable tempura and water. Service was prompt and my lunch was made to order. The came quickly, it was piping hot, and very good!! If you're looking for something new to try, I think you'll like what this place. Itadakimasu!

    Lemonberry and iced coffee boba

    It's a cute little store with great Boba and super fresh ingredients. He said that his recipe was just like the place in Hawaii. We had the Ahi Tower bowl, with the perfect amount of heat and the Ahi Poke bowl. Even though it was only 25 mins before they closed, they were super friendly and didnt rush us at all. The ingredients all tasted very fresh and bright also (which we have been to some places at the end of the day and you can kind of tell) but not here. It was all SO good and we will.be back!!

    Pepper Seared Tuna Rice Bowl, very good

    This is a relatively new place, they have sushi, rice bowls and various tea drinks. It's a small location with a handful of table and you can of course order for take out which seemed like a popular option when I was here. I ordered the Seared Tuna Rice Bowl which was very good! The rice had more pepper than I expected but was good and added more flavor to the dish. I also tried their green tea which also was good. It was different type of green tea drink than I'm used to but was really good. Hard to describe. I will definitely come back and try some of their other dishes.

    This little business is a gem! Sushi was fresh and delicious. Excellent selection of appetizers and entrees. This was my second time visiting this restaurant. It's clean and inviting like a neighborhood restaurant should be. Boba Tea was so amazing. Great service with a friendly smile.

    Double rice

    The sushi rolls were mostly rice! Hardly any fish so, I couldn't enjoy the food. The only roll that wasn't mostly rice was the yellow tail. I didn't trust it tho

    Super good boba. Kind of expensive but it's not hard too busy so it makes sense. Haven't tried the sushi but will soon!

    Cute small business right by the Kroger. Was craving some boba and popped in for a taro milk tea. The service was very great, I asked for it to be less sweet and with little boba and they did just that and even asked to make sure the amount of boba they put in was good! The taro milk tea tasted delicious super great flavor and the texture of the boba was perfect, not too chewy. They are very kind and just opened 3 months ago! The owner also came out and had a great conversation with me, lovely people! I can't wait to try their sushi and other boba flavors next time. Support this small local business, I recommend it!

    The drinks are very good, and the food is awesome. This is my new go-to spot for bubble tea and sushi when I'm in Denton.

    Look, I'm a skeptical person. And so, I automatically think that a place with rave reviews spanning…read moreover a decade can't truly still be all that. Well, I'm here to tell you: it really is. It truly is all that. I read somewhere else that Keiichi truly shines with their appetizers, and I must concur. We ordered four apps, but our absolute favorites were: - Beef and Jalapeño Cream Cheese Roll: Please do not be deterred by the cream cheese. It was tastefully added and wasn't overwhelming at all. Also, that beef? DIVINE. -Marinated Tuna with Fresh Guacamole: An unlikely combination that constantly proves it deserves to be put together. Each bite was a flavor bomb in your mouth. We also got the Tasmanian Sea Trout and the Baby Yellowtail Carpaccio. They were very good, but nothing you can't have at another fancy sushi restaurant. We ordered three nigiris: * Squid * Scallop * Eel All very good, but again, nothing you can't have at another fancy sushi restaurant with quality fish. We didn't order classics like salmon and yellowtail because we'd already had them in our appetizers. The beef miso soup was also delectable. We didn't care as much for the beef by the end of the soup, so we'd probably just get the regular miso soup next time. For our entrée, we ordered the mushroom risotto to share. The risotto was definitely some of the best we've had in Dallas. Iirc, monarch has our favorite risotto. This was close to it. And I say this as someone who doesn't like mushrooms very much. Something we'd like to try next time: - Spicy Tuna Tartare Finally - dessert. We ordered a tiramisu and shared it with two strangers seated beside us. They ordered the green tea tiramisu and shared that with us. We enjoyed both variants. My wife and the other couple felt the traditional tiramisu lacked espresso, so that would be the one change they'd prefer. I found it good as is. So there you have it - that's the food. But that's only one part of the experience. The other part is snagging a reservation! I first tried securing a reservation back in October 2024 but was unsuccessful. I tried again in October 2025 and was finally able to snag a reservation for September 2026. So this dining experience was 2 years in the making! I can see why reservations sell out so quickly though. The chef can only accommodate 10 seats per seating and is only open a few days of the week. Furthermore, he has a dedicated fan following. Of which, my wife and I will proudly be a part of. Food and reservations are two parts of a three piece puzzle, though. For us, the third and final piece was the people we dined with. They were all incredibly kind, vocal, and passionate foodies. Everyone loved food and wanted to tell the others what they'd ordered and how much they enjoyed it. Because of that, a lot of us ended up ordering things the others recommended and were blown away each time. All that led to some interesting banter and very insightful and engaging conversations. I'm very happy we were able to get a reservation and were seated with such great people. I look forward to coming again, should we be lucky enough to secure a reservation in time.

    All I have to say is rinse repeat. Consistency is the key to success. Is there any other place on…read morethis planet with better food or service?!?!
