    Boneless Spare Ribs
    Lilly J.

    Great food at reasonable prices. Today we ordered the general tsos chicken which was deliciously crispy, Szechuan bean curd which was yummy and flavorful and had lots of veggies, and boneless spare ribs which were solid. Pork fried rice was good too, not dry and flavorful enough. We've also had the fried chicken here before which is delicious (a tidbit salty). The egg rolls are nothing special. Really enjoyed this meal and had lots of leftovers for two people!

    Vegetable Lo Mein

    I was looking for a nearby restaurant on UberEats that severed both Chinese and sushi. This was the only restaurant I could fine! I was skeptical- but with these reviews I decided to give it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised! Everything was delicious, no errors, correct amount, etc. I was sad to see yelps delivery rate was higher than uber eats or else I would have gotten it delivered through yelp. Now coming back to review- I am a little nervous that the business is unclaimed AND the health score is super low for separate orders of sushi and Chinese I will go elsewhere because of this health score, but if both are wanted I will order again?!

    Alaska Roll (w/o cucumber), and a Spicy Tuna Roll
    Rachel S.

    Solid Chinese food and sushi. I ordered via DoorDash and I picked up the food in person. I really over-ordered for our party for 2, but I'm happy to have leftovers. This is what we got: Spicy Tuna Roll and Alaskan Roll (good size), Wonton Soup, Pork Fried Dumplings, Szechuan Bean Curd, Chicken Sticks and Pork Fried Rice. All were very good and overall I was impressed.

    Live down the street from the place and was craving Chinese, so I gave it a try. Sushi tasted good, but everything else was alright 7/10

    I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone reading all of these positive reviews. What is going on here?? I just finished my meal and can't even wait until tomorrow morning to write the review! This is definitely not the answer to our lack of Chinese and sushi restaurants. All of the food here was absolutely flavorless, served in heaping portions, and mushy. The egg roll was seriously filled with kimchi. The inside was pink and tasted like vinegar. When I asked my husband what he thought of it he couldn't put his finger on the weird flavor. When I suggested it tasted like kimchi he was like YES! The beef with broccoli and the lo mein both tasted like MSG and nothingness. My husband referred to the lo mein as "brown noodles." The wonton soup was the only marginally edible thing here, but you don't get much in your order, so there's that. The sushi was worse than grocery store sushi. The seaweed wrap was in edible in that you couldn't chew it! It wouldn't break up in my mouth. It just basically un-rolled itself while I was chewing. The water (yes I'm about to talk about tap water) tasted like plastic. Maybe it was the glass (which wasn't made of glass)? Who knows. The waitress was very nice and said "thank you" after every sentence, but she messed up my order and brought me house lo mein instead of just pork. Also, the credit card system is very odd and we didn't get a receipt. This joint would be great for beer and convenience store offerings. Please, don't make the mistake we did and eat here. I can't fault them for trying to cover the need, but it's just not good.

    Tiger roll
    Stephanie G.

    Got delivery from capital beer through Uber eats. Came exactly on time given the quoted estimate on the app. We ordered two tiger rolls, an eel avocado roll and steamed dumplings. The dumplings were awesome. Absolutely perfectly made to my liking with the thicker dumpling as opposed to the softer more flimsy dough covering. The sauce that accompanied it was good as well. Both rolls were great. The tiger roll came with 8 rolls and the eel avocado roll had 6 rolls. They gave us 4 containers of soy sauce. We could have had less containers and more inside each container. They gave us two pairs of chopsticks but also there was an empty chopstick paper holder which was odd. They didn't include any fortune cookies but they included plenty of napkins. All in all good experience. Would order again.

    Ordered roasted pork lo mein, general tsos chicken, crab rangoons, & egg rolls.

    Food was great! Ordered roasted pork lo mein, general tsos chicken, crab rangoons, & egg rolls. Ordered through uber eats-- super easy. Delivery driver was friendly. Best Chinese food delivery in this area. Will be ordering again

We came straight over after a very disappointing and mediocre experience at Pearl & Mary which I'm sad to say I won't go back to. Not with other options and I know shouldn't disappoint such as Double Knot! Staff and food presentation always on point! Double knot is the best and my next favorites now that P&M is out now would be vernick for their toasties and fishies and little fish.

It's the usual center city parking situation - try your luck with street parking or park in one of the decks. This place is pretty low key but way more spacious that it looks from the outside. It's relatively "no frills" when it comes to vibe as service, very casual - definitely not fine dining, lighting is a little harsh. We got the Love boat for 2 - which comes with one miso soup and one salad (so hopefully you're willing to share or maybe one of you only wants soup and the other wants salad). The boat was ok - didn't really hit the spot in the way that I had hoped. Karaoke rooms are open and pretty loud but they sound fun. Maybe I'll come back and check those out but I likely won't be back otherwise.

I had the rainbow roll because it had a BOGO offer, making 2 rolls only $16. However, the rolls were SMALL and basically just a California roll with a tiny sliver of fish on top. Two was the perfect amount for me and I don't eat that much, so I would've been quite upset if I'd paid over $30 for that. Aside from the price and size, it wasn't very good. There wasn't much imitation crab inside (which is relatively inexpensive anyways) and the fish on top wasn't very fresh so I ended up taking it off. The salmon sashimi pieces were also half cooked? Super weird... Maybe the food would be better in person, or if I didn't order sushi for takeout, but I probably won't be coming back here :(

We ordered the crispy chicken bao buns, crispy shrimp, general tso soup dumplings, wagyu beef, Korean bbq beef, and hamachi ceviche. We were a group of 3 so one thing that was nice was that our waiter added 1 additional skewer/bao bun for the meals instead of ordering 2 plates of them. Out of all the food we ordered the most delicious were the meats; the wagyu and Korean bbq beef. They were so tender and lightly seasoned because the beef quality itself was good. The Wagyu beef was paired with an apricot dip that was really good. The chilli crisp chicken bao was also good but didn't have much sauce, so it was on the dry side. It was supposed to have chilli so we expected it to be spicy but it was not. We all really liked the crispy shrimp--it was truly crispy. The sauce and the radish paired really nicely with the shrimp as well. The one meal we did not enjoy were the soup dumplings. When we got them they were dripping of raw dough and had no soup in them. The waiter was kind enough to replace them but we still didn't really enjoy them. I did not try the hamachi ceviche because I'm pregnant but it was also a favorite from the group. For dessert we had the mini ice cream cones. The waiter again added an extra one for us. The flavors were chocolate banana and mango. They were good, small bites. One of them melted so quickly and fell on the table and the waiter was really kind and got us a replacement. I did use the bathroom and absolutely hated it. It was unbelievably dark in there and there were weird sounds playing in there. I went in there to make sure I didn't have food in my teeth but couldn't even see. Super inaccessible, hopefully that's something that can be changed. The service overall was clearly excellent! I would recommend this place, especially if you come for the meats. It was surprisingly filling too.
