Small but delicious egg rolls
William E.

Great spot right in downtown Keene. I love the lunch specials as they are served in a bento box. Lunch specials come with a complimentary California roll... a really nice touch. The ginger chicken with green beans were delicious

Always a nice go to whether take out or eat in. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is quiet place to eat.

Mexico roll
Rose M.

5 stars all..the...way!! Quiet setting inside. No background music so you can actually have a conversation with your party. Service was fantastic. Large menu with plenty of selections for those wanting sushi or for those who prefer hot meals. I had the Mexico roll. The special rolls are large and 8 pieces. Plenty of fish. It was so filling and just perfect. Seaweed salad was delish. Best hot and sour soup ever. Broth so flavorful and filled with delectable tofu. The dinner boxes are great for those who are hungry. Comes with rice, 2 sides, choice of entree, and a Cali roll. Price is fantastic and under $20. I came here yesterday and I am already craving another meal. Located on Main St in downtown Keene. Street parking free on Sunday.

Steak and broccoli

Amazing food! Fresh and really delicious! The crab Rangoon, wow! Will be driving an hour or so from Vermont every chance we get! Service is great as well!

The restaurant is very cute, I usually get takeout sushi for lunch (the any 3 roll sushi lunch) and happy we chose to dine in. Server was nice, food was fast and delicious, plus large portions for a great price. Love it here, I would recommend

Hot and sour soup
Kate P.

Its been awhile since I have been here and I wanted to see how they were doing during this time. We were, at first, the only customers but we were there at almost one in the afternoon. People began to trickle in as we ate. We were greeted and seated, promptly and our waiter was very friendly. We ordered from the lunch menu and they brought out fried wonton pieces with sweet and sour sauce to munch on while we waited. Our lunch came with soup as well as the main course. I ordered the wonton and my husband ordered the hot and sour. I also ordered the generals chicken and he had the orange beef. The chicken was what kept me from a five star review. The flavor was good, but the coating was underdone, which gave it an odd texture. Kind of like half cooked pie crust. My husband's beef, though, was cooked perfectly. The prices are very reasonable and the restaurant is very clean. I will be back!

Disappointing 21st Birthday Celebration -- Dirty, Overpriced, and Not Worth Returning!…read more We visited this restaurant for the first time to celebrate a special 21st birthday with six adults and one child. Unfortunately, what should have been a memorable evening turned into an incredibly disappointing experience. The first red flag should have been our last. Before even entering, we noticed that the handicap-accessible ramp was blocked with caution tape, leaving stairs as the only apparent entrance. Anyone requiring accessible entry should call ahead. We were pleasantly greeted and promptly seated at our reserved table. However, the moment we reached our table, I noticed something absolutely disgusting: the CARPET was so sticky that our shoes were literally sticking to it! Yes, CARPET! Not tile, not hardwood, but carpeting so filthy and sticky that you could feel it with every step. This wasn't one isolated spot; it surrounded our entire table. I cannot imagine what had accumulated in that carpeting to make it that way. For a restaurant charging these prices, that level of neglect is unacceptable. I should have trusted my instincts and walked out right then. To make matters worse, a heating element or fixture was protruding near our table. I tripped over it and sustained a small cut on my foot. I didn't make a scene, but it was another concerning maintenance and safety issue. Now, credit where credit is due. Our server, J, was wonderful! He was attentive, professional, personable, and genuinely tried to make our evening enjoyable. He deserves recognition. The restaurant also made an effort to accommodate the birthday girl's gluten-free dietary needs by preparing her food separately in the kitchen. Unfortunately, her meals consistently arrived after everyone else's, but we appreciated the accommodation. The sushi was actually good! It was one of the few things I genuinely enjoyed. The hibachi, however, was an entirely different story. Greasy, flavorless, and completely underwhelming. The food lacked seasoning and was excessively oily. For the prices charged, I expected considerably better. The hibachi chef was equally disappointing. He dropped his utensils several times, and the performance lacked the excitement, personality, and entertainment that make hibachi dining special, especially for a milestone birthday. Unfortunately, I became physically sick and vomited shortly after leaving. I cannot say whether it was the sushi, the greasy hibachi, or something unrelated. I certainly hope it wasn't the sushi because that was actually enjoyable! Regardless, it was a miserable ending to an already disappointing evening. The restaurant itself needs serious attention. The interior appeared dated, worn, and poorly maintained. The women's restroom door was propped completely open with a trash can, and the facilities reflected the same general neglect as the dining area. The atmosphere was loud, unpleasant, and lacking any warmth or excitement. Nothing about this establishment felt special or justified its pricing. Then came the uncomfortable tipping situation. Our party split the bill, and my portion alone exceeded $170. Other members of our group generously tipped the hibachi chef in cash, while I wanted to recognize Jason separately for his excellent service. However, Jason appeared concerned that accepting an individual cash tip might get him in trouble with management because, according to what we were told, the chef and server are expected to split gratuities 50/50. I found that disappointing. In my opinion, Jason provided significantly better service and deserved to be recognized accordingly. I did not personally tip the chef because other members of our party had already done so generously, and I did not feel his performance warranted an additional gratuity. The bottom line? Perhaps this restaurant was wonderful in its heyday, but based on our experience, those days appear to be long gone. Between the disgustingly sticky carpeting, questionable maintenance, disappointing hibachi, worn facilities, uncomfortable tipping situation, and excessive prices, there was very little to justify the cost. The sushi was good, the gluten-free accommodation was appreciated, and Jason was excellent. Unfortunately, those positives couldn't overcome the rest of the experience. Would I return? Absolutely not. Would I recommend it? No. Even a complimentary voucher wouldn't convince me to go back. When you're celebrating someone's 21st birthday, you expect good food, a clean and safe environment, and a memorable experience. Sadly, this restaurant failed to deliver. My biggest regret? Not walking out the moment my shoes stuck to that filthy carpet. Instead, I stayed, spent a considerable amount of money, and ended my evening vomiting outside. Save your money and celebrate somewhere else. And J, thank you for being the one bright spot in an otherwise disappointing evening.

We'll get the tired room out of the way. Maybe, it's not a place to take a date you want to…read moreimpress. It could use a refresh. But what DOES impress is the food, including fully authentic Korean cuisine. Stellar. Bulgogi, kimchi, chigae, soups and stews. All fantastic and bursting with flavor. Add in sushi -- I say it's the freshest fish served in Windham County. And the Shin-la Love Boat is a great value - enough sushi for at least 3 and possibly 4 people. Finally, the service is friendly, fast and efficient. This is our midweek go-to Asian. It should be yours too.

First let me say that I'm the type of person who will eat whatever you put in front of me, but I do…read morehave my limits and this place crossed it. Number one the whole place smells like rancid grease, like the ventilation system of the fryer is backing up into the restaurant. The table felt greasy too, and there was sweet and low sweetener on the table that looked like it was from 1997. We ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap, it might have been called by another name at this restaurant but the concept is the same -- rice, vegetables, meat in a very hot stone bowl. OK, so the bowl wasn't hot enough and there was some type of vegetable in it that was constantly trying to get stuck in my teeth. The beef resembled Steak-umm, remember those? When eating the dish I was often presented with what I would describe as intermittent salt bombs. I gave up on it less than half way through. Now for the sushi, which was a dragon roll. It was basically mushy and luke warm. We ate it but it wasn't very good. Overall, not good and not cheap either.
