They were also severely understaffed. (One sushi chef and one waitress/front of house person.)

One note for taller guests: the booths are quite uncomfortable. The dimensions are a little awkward, and the large table legs make it difficult to find a comfortable position. I definitely wish we had chosen a regular table instead. My friend and I both ordered the lunch poke bowl along with a California roll. We started with miso soup, which was fine, and the poke bowls were the real highlight. They were beautifully presented and tasted wonderful--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I'd definitely come back to try one of the bento boxes for lunch. We saw quite a few being served, and they looked fantastic!

The chicken teriyaki is classic and so good, exactly what you want when you are craving comfort food. The General Tso's chicken was another standout, super crispy with a great tangy sauce. I also tried my mom's spare ribs and they were excellent, tender and full of flavor. Everything we had was on point. The tempura was light, crisp, and very fresh, and the gyoza was really good too. The house teriyaki sauce ties it all together and is honestly one of the best parts of the meal. Great food, generous portions, and consistently satisfying. This place is a go to spot and I will definitely be back whenever I am in town.

We ordered spicy chicken teriyaki and the sweet and sour/ teriyaki combo. Overall, the food was okay. It did not taste very fresh and felt like I was getting some older pieces of chicken for my teriyaki and sweet and sour. The spicy chicken teriyaki had quite a few pieces that we had to throw out. I wasn't a fan of the salad dressing and found it too watery for my liking. Unfortunately, I also did not like the taste of the fortune cookies they used. The food was just okay, nothing to write home about but okay for a stop. They were pretty quick to get the order out as well. The decor inside is nice and it was decently clean however, some spills could have been cleaned up on the floor. If you're in a pinch or close by it's an okay choice but I do believe there are better teriyaki places nearby.

Full of flavor and loaded with vegetables. 10/10 easy. You get a generous serving for just over ten bucks and usually order a couple to go every time. As for the food, solid as well. Chicken is decent quality and has a good amount of char on it. The eggrolls are the usual basic and consistent brand along with the salad dressing too. The beverage cooler is a NO GO! All of the soda is expired and the can of soda I got was close to date but still good. The place itself could use some work. It appears that they clean but a deep clean has been ignored for a while. The tables have a look and feel to it that leaves us going ugh. The chairs got a sway and seem it's one ass away from buckling. Overall, you're not gonna stop me from the egg drop soup. Solid four stars and gonna get it everytime. Regardless.

We waited 45 min to get our food and there was almost no one else there. The server was not able to tell us what was on the platter for our chef's choice nigiri but it all tasted good. The chef allowed us to switch the spicy tuna roll for an eel avocodo roll (same price on the menu) for an additional $1. I was happy since the spicy roll was too spicy for me. (We had 2 orders of Nigiri Deluxe.) The orders did not come with ginger or wasabi paste but they gave it to us on request. I thought this was a good way to handle it since it probably avoids a lot of waste. Clean seating.

It also comes with a side of miso soup. The miso soup was your typical miso soup. They had a good selection of different kinds of rolls. We went with two of the seared fish rolls (one was with salmon and the other was tuna - I forgot the name but it was seared fish over a California roll) and the Valentine roll. The rolls with the seared fish were good. I was a little disappointed in the Valentine roll as the tuna had that frozen fish taste/texture that I don't particularly like. The rolls did not have a lot of rice though which I prefer. Service was great. The lady at the cashier was very kind and they bring out your food to your table and bus it after. My boyfriend mentioned that he noticed that the rolls have gotten smaller from when he remembered from a few years ago, so now the rolls are the size of your average roll at any other sushi spot. They apparently used to be ginormous. Overall not a bad place to go.
