We think sushi bar is the best sushi in Bloomington and their prices are amazing. I bring my family from Chicago here every time they visit and it's always a hit. Excellent lunch menu as well. The sweet potato roll is one of my favorites for a crunchy roll.

Good for casual Japanese dining. The restaurant is nicely designed (you can tell when you walk in…read moreit's a sushi restaurant) and I was seated in a cool semi-private booth. I thought the country music threw off the vibe a little. The staff were very polite. I would say the pace of service was leisurely but not nearly as slow as I had feared given some of the reviews. If anything, I had to wait a while to order after I was seated, but my food came out in a totally reasonable amount of time after that. I had the unaju and tempura ice cream. The salad that came with the meal was very basic, but the unaju was good. The eel was very flaky. The daikon tasted a little funny to me though. The presentation in the box was very nice. I really liked the tempura ice cream too. I've only had tempura ice cream once before, and this was a little different with a coating that was less crispy and more cakey. It was big, with two very generous scoops of ice cream. Good size for sharing. I felt like everything was worth the price and I would eat here again.

Not gruesomely expensive. Good quality ingredients, not slopped together. Fresh and tasty because of the ingredients and detail. Their sauces are also tasty and fresh. We wondered why we'd not been there before; it's across from Tres Amigos. Parking is usually OK. They handled our crowd, just two of them, quickly and with a smile. Their beverages are in a nearby pair of fridges; all of us found what we wanted. Counter service, with a smile.

Got hibachi, we always get the chicken and steak, prices have gone up since we started coming here…read moreso for 2 adults with s&c, you're looking at around 75-100$. I got the shrimp tempura, and it was cold, and tasted like it was yesterdays. No crunch to the tempura whatsoever. i asked if they make it per order or one giant batch then use throught the day and the lady looked very confused. Ice cold shrimp, soggy breading, not a good mixture. Ive never had an issue with the tempura. Dinner was excellent of course. Recommend 10/10 Might want to skip sushi though. I dont recommend that. So I've read some of the reviews about how this place is really dark and dingy, when you first walk in lights are on you can see what you're doing you can see everybody there's a bar to your right and there's Booth seating for non hibachi. When you walk through the doors you're right at the desk to check in. If you look straight you can see the Hibachi room. This is a darker room so it can be more intimate. With the whole fire going on the grill, keeping it dim in the room gives it a "wow" factor and to set the mood/ambiance. Its not so dark you cant see, its just not as bright. If it's a bright room and you're having all of these fire tricks going on it's not a big wow factor. I've never had a metallic taste happen in this restaurant, nothing is wrapped in tinfoil, and I've been coming here since I moved here in 2010. Now you can sometimes get overcooked food here if the chef is overworked, but as long as you talk to them and tell them that it is overcooked they'll remake it for you. Or they'll take it off your check. Everyone here is easy going even on a super busy day. I've never had attitude from anybody. Also they don't use a bunch of sauce to Overcoat your food with flavor. A lot of other places will just load it up with teriyaki sauce and the other sauce that I can't think of the name of but the reason why they do that is because the food isn't fresh here the food is fresh. They use fresh ingredients. I've been to other Hibachi places where in their vegetables they add corn and green beans which ruins the whole flavor and then when they're cooking on the grill they add jarred garlic which is a whole different flavor that doesn't mix with the Hibachi experience. Everything is cut in front of you so if you don't think that your chicken is correctly colored you can see it and you can tell them. Again if you don't like something TALK TO THEM. They dont bite.

Overall, Homey Hot Pot was a good experience. My friends and I did the AYCE sushi when we went,…read morewhich is priced at around $26, which is not bad for the quantity you can order. The sushi is great, but is a little heavy on the rice. The issue we encountered was the service. The first two orders came out pretty quickly, but for our third order, we only did 2 rolls, and it took over 1.5 hours despite us giving several reminders to the waiters. Overall, a good experience, but I would recommend ordering most of the sushi in the first two orders.

Not sure what that was about, haha. There is a nice and affordable parking garage nearby as well!

The yakitori was okay--nice chicken flavor, well seasoned, and came out hot--but was somehow dry inside despite being chicken thigh. The "taste of the sea" appetizer trio was both expensive for small portions, and tasted comparable to storebought. I think I'd prefer to get raw squid from the frozen section at the supermarket down the road. I also had an upset stomach that evening.

Since we came in a group, we ordered various appetizers and ramen. The service is a bit slow, but we enjoyed chatting while waiting for our order. This place is great for groups too. I particularly enjoyed the garlic ramen. The broth was bold and flavorful. The spicy ramen was also good and not too spicy. The chicken karaage was delicious, the chuka ika was okay, the gyoza was average, and the beef tongue was yummy.

On multiple occasions, I have watched the chefs carefully prepare meals while diligently sanitizing their workspaces after each dish, ensuring a high standard of hygiene is consistently upheld. The menu offers an extensive and diverse selection, which I greatly appreciate. While I have several favorite dishes, I am continually encouraged to explore new options thanks to the wide variety available. The restaurant caters to a broad range of tastes, featuring not only American-style Chinese cuisine but also a rich selection of authentic Chinese, Korean, and Japanese dishes, along with a few American offerings. The staff is courteous and attentive, providing excellent service with every visit. The food is always served hot, flavorful, and in generous portions. There is often so much so that it is difficult to finish a meal in a single sitting. I confidently recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a high-quality experience, and it has even earned the approval of our native Chinese friends, which speaks volumes about its authenticity and overall excellence.

I was had someone come to my table to take my order and bring my food but no one came by again after I got the food, so I went to the register to pay. Maybe a bit of a language barrier with the staff. I asked for jelly in my drink and got tapioca boba instead and generally felt like they didn't really understand what I was saying. I got a tofu rice bowl with miso sauce and a green milk tea with boba. The rice bowl was the perfect size for one meal, and there was a lot of tofu which made it filling. It was simple, with just the protein and sauce over steamed greens and rice, and I felt like it was pretty healthy. It didn't blow me away but it was good! The green milk tea was also good, strong but not too sweet. Some versions of the menu call it matcha but it very much tasted like green tea, not matcha. I think it was from a powder mix but that's fine. Reasonable prices. If I remember correctly, the rice bowl was about $13 and the boba was about $6 including the topping. I liked the food and would definitely eat here again.

It seems like they get plenty of both takeout and dine-in customers. I dined in and the service was very good - the waitress was very friendly and came by often enough even though she was very busy. The menu is large but sensibly organized so you can easily find what you're looking for. They have two sides of the menu - one side has American style dishes and one side has Asian style. They also have a bubble tea menu with enough options to be comparable with specialized bubble tea shops. I got the fried tofu home style and a taro smoothie. The sauce for the tofu was tasty, the tofu and veggies were cooked perfectly, and the white rice on the side was fresh and fluffy. Big portion but not too big to finish if you're hungry. Pretty good taro smoothie too. The menu shows the option to adjust sugar and ice levels; I forgot to ask for less sweet, but the default wasn't too sweet. I would get food or drinks here again.
