F1. Fried Rice
Anna M.

We had a wonderful dinner at Chef Lu's! The service is friendly and kind. The restaurant is spacious and beautiful paintings. The food was delicious! We had chicken fried rice and kung pao chicken! I highly recommend Chef Lu's for a flavorful meal!

Service was wonderful! The lady helped us was extremely pleasant! We later figured out that she must be the owner too. The dishes came out as we expected, which was a good thing. Overall we had a good experience.

Cowboy Roll
Beth D.

Delicious and authentic! I had a sushi roll called the Cowboy Roll. Over never had anything like it and it was so good! It had seared Ribeye on the top. Brilliant! The owner who was also our server was the sweetest lady. I'm assuming she's Lu. We'll be back again when we visit from Missoula!

I wish I could do a 3.5 stars because the service was good and 2 out of 4 items were nice. The general tso's chicken was tasty and so was sashimi(salmon,tuna and octopus). I did not enjoy the rainbow roll or the royal roll. My wife said the ginger beer was awesome. Overall I do want to go back to try other items besides sushi.

Pork Chow Mein and General Tso's Chicken Combo
Carlie L.

We've been hearing good things about this spot and finally stopped by for takeout. We got the crispy fish with prickly ash oil and orange sauce + pork chow mein combination dinner w/ general tso's chicken. I loved that the fish came with perfectly cooked broccoli and that the orange sauce wasn't too sweet. My husband really enjoyed the combination dinner. I stole more than a few bites of noodles! Service was fast and friendly. :)

It's a tight space so it was definitely loud in there, but you can appreciate that the families are all enjoying their dinner. I thought to myself that the fact that it's this busy means they are doing a great job and the food makes them come back again. Our food was delicious and the fish were fresh. We were all satisfied with our meal. To add to that, I think the price for the items were very fair for its quality. I would love to come back again and try more from their menu!!

So, as far as the basics of quality ingredients and crafted sushi/sashimi, Sushi Blossom is tops. The reason for only four stars is the service. It was busy (we were there at 6 pm on a Tuesday, so also a great nod to how good it is here that the place was bustling on a weeknight). But our service was really pretty poor. I have no desire to put a young lady working as a server on blast, so I'll just say we waited an extra-long time, and felt as a table like we were irritating or inconveniencing our server, though we ordered right away, had no adjustments to what we ordered, and just sat waiting a long time patiently. We didn't complain, and thanked our server when she brought our food. But if I'd been with someone who didn't already love Sushi Blossom and was my guest, this would have felt pretty embarrassing, like we were doing something wrong by being customers. However, that was just one young lady on one night out of LOTS of dining experiences at Sushi Blossom, most of which have been excellent. So we'll happily be back, and put this one experience behind us. The food, once again, is so, so good. If you're looking for great sushi in Spokane, this is a fantastic place to try!

It doesn't matter if it's Cda or Spokane, they are both AMAZING! They have the best miso and mushroom soup on the planet. They always cook the steak hibachi perfectly making it flavorful and so very tender. My daughter also eats all the veggies and Shiki is literally the only restaurant she devours the veggies without me begging. The crab rangoons weren't crispy on the Togo order because of the moisture in the box but they were still good. This time surprisingly the hit was the desert roll called the sweetheart roll! Holy mackerel. I will be ordering this everytime from now on! Everyone loves it!

Our service was good, and drinks were cold, but our sushi came out in a manner that made us feel unsafe to eat. The fish was warm, and not fresh. We have a Shiki in our home town and never have an issue. Our dish was absolutely in the temperature danger zone, and we sent it back worried to get sick. Management gave us a refund for the sushi, but didn't seem too worried about the experience for us. We of course paid for our beers, and left a tip, but this is a stop we will not be making again.

We came in and put our name down, got a table after about 40 minute wait. We were seated at the sushi bar which we didn't mind, got to see the sushi being made! I ordered a drink, the coconut mojito. It was so delicious. Perfectly sweet, tart, tropical, I can come here just for the drinks because they are perfect every single time. We knew what sushi rolls we wanted to we got our personal favorite, the Las Vegas roll. Then got the Godzilla roll and the Fresh roll. All were so so good, my favorite is still the Las Vegas roll but the fresh roll was delicious with the fresh lemon on top! I will return again and again for the sushi and drinks, it's top tier! I will say the service was lacking. I understand it was very busy but we didn't get checked up on once and we ran out of water at the beginning of the meal and never got a refill on water. I also wanted to try a drink from the specials menu but opted not to because our waitress never came around so I can order anything else. Maybe next time. Food was outstanding but on a busy day, the service was very disappointing.

While in Spokane, I wanted to try something different. So my friends and I found this great looking…read moreramen spot called Nudo. I thought it funny that the name of the shop sounded like it was either calling attention to or poking fun at the southeast Asian pronunciation of the word noodle, but the pictures were undeniable! So in just minutes from the Davenport Hotel, we walk thru the doors. I was very impressed with the modern art aesthetic that adorn the surrounding walls of the dining area. Pop art is a very common look at more modern ramen places so I was feeling very comfortable and confident that we'd come to the right place. The staff was friendly and amazing from the get go and all throughout! Starving, we sat down and our eyes tore through the menu with excitement. Most satisfyingly was the fact that we'd come at happy hour and ramen bowls were $10 each! Now as a ramen goer, I will always go to TanTan if it's on the menu and it was! My mind was made. My other two friends ordered the Spicy beef in a shoyu broth and a spicy Tonkotsu (both looked amazing)! We also ordered appetizers from the happy hour menu: Salt and Pepper Tofu and the Spicy Pork Wontons! Both of those were HIGHLY RECOMMENDs, but if you're sharing the Tofu goes much farther with the wontons only having 3 pieces but AMAZING flavor (PRO TIP: you can also use the left over sauce to experiment with other tastes later in your meal). Once the appetizers hit the table it was gone! Hence the no pictures, for which I greatly apologize. I've failed you again, my Yelp family. But please know it was because I'm a fat ass and couldn't hold back my hunger. But finally, the main courses came out. My mind clear from the nourishments of the appetizers, I was able to snap a picture of. Maybe not as much of a, "my mind was clear" as it was a, "Carrots and corn in my ramen? YUCK!" Now I get the corn. In Hokkaido style they like to put sweet corn on the surface and slap some butter on it, and THAT I always have time for. But corn?? In my opinion, there's no place for carrots in ramen because the sweetness will always off balance the taste. Especially in a pork bone broth, but definitely not invited to my TanTan party, but I digress. Being the huge lover that I am of food and adventure, I thought I'd give it a try. But from the first bite, I realized that I was right about the flavor, forgot about the texture and was surprised to find Chicken in my ramen. No ohana... ramen is one of my favorite things EVER! Growing up in my life we'd eat dry bags of Maruchan/Top Ramen with the seasoning in it for fun, as kids. You know which one flavor I NEVER ate? CHICKEN! It just never hit to me. And here, betraying me in my coveted TanTan was chicken! Besides all of these things, my ramen was slightly hotter than warm. I grew up eating traditional style ramen, where you had to want it! Meaning the broth would undoubtedly burn your lips but you HAD TO WANT IT fresh or you'd miss out on what good ramen was. So disappointedly, I rested my chopsticks across the brim of the bowl in defeat and pulled the menu back. Meanwhile, from across the table I hear the satisfying sounds of slurps and bowls being picked up and set down on the table. So I ask how their food was. Both were very happy and both did look good, but I needed something that wouldn't miss this time. So with that in mind, I asked for the Spicy ramen! But this time I made a few adjustments. Audibles if you will (heck, it's football season). I asked for no carrots and no corn (of which she whiffed on the no corn, but thankfully there were no carrots) and almost MOST importantly: I asked for the noodles to be half cooked! My waitress, who: LET ME JUST STOP HERE AND GIVE HER THE FLOWERS SHE DESERVES! I feel bad that I don't remember her name or who don't have a picture with her but I was there during happy hour on the 7th of September (Monday) and she looked like she could have been the daughter part of a mother/daughter duo that was working the dining area! I appreciate you! NOW BACK TO THE FOOD! So my order again: Spicy Beef Ramen, no corn or carrots with the noodles half cooked! And the next bowl that was set in front of me redeemed the entire food experience. My ramen was piping hot and perfect. Sizable chunks of well cooked beef, dressing the landscape of my bowl like mountains on a map. Just beautiful. I couldn't wait to dive in. And from the first bite, it was redemption! The beef was so soft! It had a rich flavor that made me check it to see if they maybe upgraded me to ox tail. They hadn't, but it was definitely an upgrade from that shredded chicken fiasco I'd just come away from. The spice level was perfect. And the temperature of the soup melted all of the natural juices and oils of all the ingredients into the broth. Exactly like it's supposed to do!
