The sushi stand in the front. We were greeted at the bar and given water and menus right away. Loved the prompt service, the ambiance, the art on the walls. Enough lighting for a restaurant/bar. The menu was interesting and had sushi, fish, a wagyu burger, some really fun drinks and more. We split some dumplings, a roll, and got individual meals. We got our dumplings rather quickly but then waited an hour for the rest of our food. It was really busy, and they had staff, but I feel like it would not ever normally be this busy. But they were so nice about it. And we were not in a rush, so it works out just fine. Our roll was off - and it turned out we got the wrong one. But they were apologetic and again it was really busy. But when the entre came out - wow. I got a Ongiri with Haddock and some crispy onions on top - it was fantastic. My husband had a bowl of ramen that he said needed a little salt. But it was good, service as fantastic, and I would definitely want to come back when they are not busy to try the food and service again. I am sure it will be great.

We always come here for any special occasion. But today was Mother's Day so I wanted some steak and shrimp stir fry on the hibachi grill. The comedic show from the chef was really entertaining and the boys of course caught the flying vegetables in their mouths but I passed on that . Prices are on par with other habachi restaurants. We almost always get the steak because it is very good quality and cooked to order. My boys ordered the noodles and I ordered the rice . Both were excellent. Their lunch or dinner combo comes with a miso , mushroom soup that my son always wants another. The traditional Asian inspired salad comes with it as well. The chef seems to really want to please the parties and I like that. The many times we have dined here led us to becoming casual friends at the grill because you sit with 6 to 8 other guests. If you haven't tried hibachi, you really should . This restaurant is clean, comfortable, and the food is great. Prices are a little higher than a regular restaurant but it's so worth it. When I brought my sister here for her birthday all the servers came around and congratulated her. They put a balloon birthday hat on her head. If you need a little smile and you like stir fry custom made to your liking, come here. You will be happy you did.

Sadly Whole Foods shrimp tempura roll tastes better and they give twice as much for the same price.

They were good, the wrappers were thicker than we were used to. I loved the flavor. Chicken Adobo - delicious, a little different than we make it, but it was delicious Chicken Sisig - Amazing that it is served in the traditional cast iron - sizzling. The egg and the mayo drizzle. I loved it!!! We couldn't resist the dessert case and bought two items to go. We were too full to eat them right away. We bought: Carrot Cake - Dense and delicious! Tres Leches - Moist and delicious! Menu options - a lot of variety, from breakfast, to american foods, like grilled cheese, cheeseburgers, Thai Food, eggplant parm, spaghetti and meatballs, and salads. I feel like there is something for everyone. There were a few tables, most seats are booths. Beverages - most are bottles and cans that you can see in the cooler to the left of the register, coffee, tea etc. I believe they have drink specials as well. Staff was so kind and attentive. They were very patient with the variety of guests that came in, many tourists, who had a lot of questions about the food offered. I definitely recommend this local business. I cannot wait to return the next time I am in the area.

One was called a salad of some sort (sorry, blacked out) and it was delicious. The other was just as good. Ordered the eggplant app - do not leave without this. Absolutely amazing. For food, we ordered a rice bowl with pork sausage and a noodle bowl (with lobster and clams). Don't remember the names. Both were absolutely fantastic. The flavor profiles are just incredible.

The level 2 spice in the online ordering menu was not spicy at all, but the food still had a good amount of sauce and flavor. The dish was definitely heavy on the noodles and probably only had 4-5 bite-sized pieces of tofu for protein, but the noodles certainly were my favorite part. And for only about $15-20 per main dish, this is one of the more accessible/affordable restaurants for vegan options in Portland!
