    Midnight Munchies Delight! scrolling through Grubhub at 10 PM, battling my inner foodie demons expecting every spot to be closed already. Sushi and fried rice? Let's do it The sushi arrived looking like it had just rolled out of bed--kinda like me--but one bite and I was in a seaweed-wrapped dream. The fish was still fresh (which I hadn't expected it to be so late at night if we're being honest), The fried rice? Was fried right! Not like the Chinese takeout spots where the rice is just yellow and not really fried at all. This made me wonder why I don't order Asian cuisine in the dead of night more often.

    We went to Banzai Sushi and the service was really disappointing. Our server didn't seem to know the menu well. We ordered ramen to share, but she didn't give us an extra spoon or fork. The sashimi platter was served without soy sauce, and we had to ask for it. The gyoza, which was supposed to be an appetizer, came out way too late, after we finish the ramen and sashimi that were already on the table. On top of that, the server was rude; she even walked away while we were still talking to her. We had to call her over multiple times just to get basic things. The food itself was great, but the service completely ruined the experience. - 9/08/2025 around 6pm onwards.

    Yakisoba noodles

    Had a combo sushi plate the dancing girl shrimp, shrimp tempura and two sushi shrimps. We had the ramen miso soup very tasty. And the yakisoba noodles. Everything was really good, the noodles could've been a little hotter (heat). Lee was super attentive and friendly

    I really wanted some good ol ramen, so I went to this spot. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into a cute restaurant and sat at a booth. I was served by Lee and she was nice! I started with the shrimp shumai, and that dish was very good! I then had the chicken ramen with the spicy miso, and it was also very good! For my last dish, I got the Teriyaki special that had grilled chicken thigh and shrimp with fried right. The dish was good. The rice needed a tad but more salt, though. I did have a good experience all in all!

    Guys, this place is a must go! I'm literally drooling thinking about it again! All of the sashimi pieces were fresh, no fishy odor or taste and the spicy tuna roll was just okay in comparison, but you can't really mess that up. I LOVED that little salad and those noodles, literally oozed umami flavor. You have to go for the fresh sushi and noods! Also this wasn't very expensive, if I recall correctly that boat was around $25 and the noodles were around $7. I just drank water too. Perfect ending to a pool day!

    Shoyu ramen with pork
    Stacey H.

    Loved their miso soup and their sushi was fresh and delicious. They had a variety of rolls available. The steak was a bit overcooked for me on the hibachi but still was tasty. I liked the ramen broth. Would definitely come back.

    $19 for this

    I've ordered from this place serval times and usually have a good experience. Tonight I order teriyaki meals for my family. For almost $30 I received the smallest portion I've ever seen plus no miso soup. The rest of of family are their order and are so hungry due to the snack portion. The Ramen is great and the sushi is good but stay away from the teriyaki

    Shrimp Shumai
    Tee G.

    Thoroughly satisfied with our meal. The locale is a hole in the wall with very limited parking and tables but the service and the food was delicious! The food was fresh and tasty. We will definitely return.

They're always rolling out special items and you can truly taste the heart and soul in everything they make. A very homey and welcoming neighborhood gem. *Taiwanese Fried Chicken Bagel $10 *** If you love basil, you'll be happy to know they use fresh basil to make the spread. I happily devoured it and immediately craved more. Unfortunately it's a limited item, so be sure to check their ig stories or dm them to find out the next available date. *Prosciutto Youtiao Sandwich $15 * Crispy youtiao with prosciutto, burrata and pineapple jam. This unexpected combo actually works so well! *Taro French Toast with Boba $16.5 ** If this is your first time here, ORDER THE FRENCH TOAST. I literally get it every time--the milk tea French toast is perfectly brûléed and topped with taro paste, boba, whipped cream, and salted egg yolk bits. All my favorites in one bite. *Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly $16 * Fatty and full of gelatin, giving that sticky-lips feeling after eating it. I love that their lu rou fan comes with a soft-boiled ramen egg instead of a hard boiled one, and the pickled mustard greens on the side are my favorite part. *Taiwanese Milk Crumb Toast $5 New item! We tried this test version of 奶酥吐司, and it was lowkey addictive. The bread pulled apart just like shokupan. So soft and fluffy.

    Food 3/5 Service 4.5/5…read more Ambience 3/5 Value 4/5 I really wanted to love Tiam Tiam because the presentation is pretty good, but the execution was a bit inconsistent. On the plus side, the hospitality is top-notch; we loved the complimentary Taiwanese kimchi and dessert, and the portion sizes are generous Pork Belly over Rice (4.25/5): The standout! It was packed with flavor, though on the oily side Soft Shell Crab (3.5/5): The crab was well-prepared, but the avocado pairing muted the flavor, making it a bit bland Taiwanese Fried Chicken over Rice (3/5): This was surprisingly sweet for a savory entree, which others may like that Century Old Egg Tofu (2/5): A miss for me, it was served cold and the sauce pairing didn't really work Great service and a lovely vibe overall

The restaurant is super tiny but had great music playing the whole night. They also have a little convenience section with packaged snacks and drinks which was super cute. My friends and I ordered the 10 piece Huancaina Roll, Leche de Tigre Maki Roll, and the 10 piece Maki Parillero Roll. To be honest the Huancaina Roll didn't have much flavor and it was pretty bland compared to the other two rolls so it wasn't my favorite. But if you love Peruvian Ceviche you're going to LOVE the Leche de Tigre Maki roll. The fish was so fresh and flavorful. The reallllll show stopper was the 10 Piece Maki Parillero roll. It was AMAZING! The sliced beef tataki just melts in your mouth and the chimichurri was just an absolute chefs kiss. I kid you not I could've eaten two orders of just that roll and called it a day. Although the service was a bit slow with ordering and getting the food, I still want to go back and try more of the menu because the menu is hugeeee!

The first roll I got was so chewy and there was so much mushy rice mixed with way too much mayo it was pretty unpleasant. I threw out that roll after trying to eat 2 pieces. The California roll I got was okay, it just tasted petty bland. Like it had been sitting in a fridge premade for hours but I think they made it there so not sure how that happens. I also ordered online but they claimed they didn't have my order when I got there and had to convice them via email receipt that I ordered and waited like 25 mins longer than I needed to while they made it. Otherwise I mean the staff was okay I guess... they didn't do anything overtly offputting. Price is, well, low... so i guess that's why it's an "it is what it is".
