Was HIGHLY disappointed. Clearly this place isn't the best for sashimi. Ordered a sashimi and a healthier roll (rainbow roll). While the roll was good & fresh. The tuna sashimi was the exact opposite, it did not feel fresh at all and we had just taken one bite of the piece, almost like frozen and had a fishy smell and taste to it, that's something one would not clearly want to consume. I was super disappointed, thought would take it home and let it sit for a bit, but, was too skeptical and the smell got little stronger just 5-6 mins of a car ride back home and just had to get rid of it. Not sure if will go back again..

We walked in a weekday night and found the dining area quite small and full, except for their final open table next to the entrance. We took that spot and found out 'the hard way' they have those dastardly uncomfortable metal chairs. Not only is the seat firm and not cushioned, the bar that wraps around pinches in on your hip. We almost left but decided to tough it out. Our server was attentive and friendly and our order came out quite quickly. We ordered a few specialty rolls like their sweet potato roll, dragon roll and caterpillar roll. I also ordered a salmon sashimi. All of the rolls were well presented and best of all, tasty! It's not near the best sushi I've had, but it filled the craving we had. The wall murals and decor were simple but classy. We also noticed the noise level was good despite many people in a small space. Overall, this is a nice little neighborhood spot for sushi and worth a visit!

I don't remember hearing any music, but the overall atmosphere was more of a modern Asian vibe. The restaurant is on the smaller side, with high-top tables, a bar area, sushi counter seating, booths, and regular tables. When it's crowded, the seating can feel a little tight. The biggest downside was the service. It took quite a while to get our drinks and our food, even after the restaurant started clearing out and there were only a few tables left. They seemed to have several servers working, so the wait was a little surprising. That being said, once we got our food, our refills came when needed, which was appreciated because I like to have plenty of drinks with sushi. The food was decent, but I've definitely had better sushi for a better price. I'd give the food around 3.5/5. For what we paid, I expected a little more, especially considering there are places with better quality at a lower cost. Sushi prices in general seem to be getting pretty high. Sushi is usually our go-to after a long day of wrestling, and I do appreciate that Sushi Creek was one of the later places still open when we were looking for somewhere to eat. Overall, it was an okay experience, but it's not a place I'd rush back to. If you're looking for sushi and this fits what you're wanting, it's an option, but I wouldn't say it's a must-visit.

For months, this location has been on a radar based on seeing various Yelp friends post about this…read morelocation. I was intrigued for both their sushi selection and their cocktail menu. I figured a Sunday afternoon would be calm, so I decided to pop in for a solo lunch. What I Ordered: - Yuzu Mule: The drink was delicious and refreshing, so I ordered a second one. Definitely order if I return as well. - Hamachi Lime Roll: This roll had an odd texture to me, and ultimately, I grabbed the rest to go as it was a little off putting to me. The flavor was decent though I found myself wishing there was more crunch with tempura flakes or panko bread crumbs on top. - Crazy Roll: The winner between the two rolls in terms of flavor and preference. Though, I wish this roll had the spicy mayo the other one had. I'd definitely order again and ask for a side of spicy mayo that I could add to the roll. Love the soy paper option! As for ambiance? I thought country music was an incredibly odd choice for this establishment hence the 4 stars versus 5 star review. I'd prefer more traditional Japanese music, or heck, even some J-Rock over American country music. I'm guessing Sunday afternoon is a slower time, so it was employee choice. Overall, I'd visit again when in the area and recommend to friends/family.

Course 1: Hamachi Peach Crudo peach amazu / pickled daikon/ smoked tomato oil / red pepper. This dish was right in my alley! I love Hamachi, and peach! And this is my first time having this combo in a crudo. It was many flavors all combined in one dish. 10/10 . **Please add this dish to your permanent menu! Course 2: Spicy Scallop Futomaki/hokkaido scallop / benishoga / chili crisp/ takuan / wasabi mayo. This roll tastes great, scallop tastes fresh and I love the way it was seasoned. However the rice around it was too much that I couldn't taste the scallop fully. I wouldn't get this dish again because of the rice around it was too much. Course 3: Ocean Trout Mi-Cuit/ okinawa potato croquette / citrus cream/fried capers / crispy salmon skin. I love the cream and the capers in this dish. The fish is seared. Although not much flavor in the fish itself but because of the sauce, it complements the dish well. Course 4: Dessert - Yuzu Lychee Sorbet/vanilla whisky hojicha granita. Oh my gosh, this is my favorite dish! It was so good and refreshing! The yuzu sorbet was tart and creamy. And the hojicha ice underneath was delicious! I would come back to the restaurant just for this dish and the first dish!

Tempura Takeover did not disappoint. We ordered outside at the food truck and they brought the food into the bar. I got the sloppy lobster burger. Hubby got two bulgogi tacos and a side of fries. There were no prices on the menu, but the total without tip was $48. My lobster burger was divine--chunks of tempura lobster, perfectly, cooked. I'm not going to guess what was in either sauce but they were both excellent and made the dish. Fries were solid. Downsides, it was about a 30 minute wait, which was clearly communicated. We got there about 5 minutes after open and there was a small line. There's probably strategy to make it go faster--get there at open or 30 to 45 minutes after. Food seemed to come out fast after the initial rush. Also, i would have liked ketchup as an option for the fries.

(hint: need this in stores!) I got the shrimp taco and the bulgogi taco. The shrimp taco was my favorite! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and there was plenty of it. The tempura had a great crunch and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy. It's definitely on my top tacos list and I'll be popping by whenever I can. I'm already craving it again!

We eat at Moon China Chinese Restaurant frequently. The food is always good - you can tell they use high quality ingredients. I especially like their beef dishes because there is never any fat on the meat, in fact it's melt-in-your-mouth tender. My husband loves their egg drop soup, and their cheese wontons are the best ever! The owner Dan and wait staff are very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is sparkling clean and has a nice atmosphere. The decor is a soothing blue and green combination which I enjoy - it's different from the usual Chinese restaurant. They have a thriving to-go business, but we enjoy eating there. I highly recommend you give Moon China a try. read more

Moon China used to be a staple for my family, unfortunately that isn't going to be the case anymore, a few months ago things started to change. They have a new staff and it appears new recipes for my old favorites. Nothing tastes the same and nothing is as good as it used to be, the hot and sour soup is more sour than anything, the orange chicken is chewy and bland. I may eventually give it one more try for old times sake but if things are as poor as they have been I will find another Asian food destination! read more

The selection of food as a whole was still very limited as well as there was only like 5-6 sections to go to. And the Mongolian Grill was fantastic. Just like what I said earlier though, it is limited with what it offers. But it still is very good and I made sure to leave a tip too for the chef as he earned it. The overall ambiance could be better as the place feels very outdated. The bathrooms have graffiti on the stalls as well as the mirror.

After reading a couple of the reviews back then, we weren't very enthusiastic about trying it, but the reviews seemed better so we gave it a shot and it was a good experience. We ordered crab rangoons, chicken dumplings, veggie spring rolls and two seafood ramen bowls with miso broth (after we confirmed that the broth has no pork at all). My husband picked up the order within about 20-25 minutes of ordering. The bill was about $45. Everything tasted good. All three appetizers were in a paper bag together and the sauces were on the side. Favorites in order would be: chicken dumpling is the best, then the crab Rangoon then the spring rolls. The ramen bowls had very good flavor. The miso broth worked really well with the seafood and the toppings and wasn't thin or watery. The seafood mix was imitation crab, shrimps, and muscles and we found a seasoned egg hiding in the broth which was a nice "free" surprise. The toppings were bamboo shoots, corn, green onions and bean sprouts as well as sesame seeds. All in all, a good restaurant with a solid 4 star take out experience.
