Sushi is fresh and excellent quality. Miso soup was light and refreshing. Definitely excited to come and try more.

Michel H.

The service has always very friendly and efficient, and the sushi is by far the freshest I have ever had in South Bend! Simply delicious.

We came here last week for dinner, and wanted to try their lunch, today. It was really good. I got my favorite, Chicken LoMein. Comes with choice of rice (plain or fried rice & choice of soup (egg drop or sweet & sour). My husband got Beef with Broccoli. As before, the service was great & attentive. Our server was very friendly. Everyone is so nice & welcoming. You really need to check them out. Love that the dishes are fresh, not swimming in sauce & grease like some others in the area. I went to Ho Ping house a few years ago and they had the nerve to serve me linguine noodles instead of real Chinese noodles and this awful brown sauce. Never went back.

All you can lunch menu and beef and broccoli lunch special!

First time here. Came in for lunch, all you can eat lunch was delish!!!!!! The options were endless!!!!!! And the lunch special was amazing. Can't wait to come back for dinner all you can eat menu! Super friendly service. Our server was a sweetheart! We will be back!

If you're looking for a buffet or restaurant with mediocre Asian cuisine, this isn't it. FG charges a bit more but the quality and quantity make it worthwhile. My shrimp in garlic sauce had 12 large shrimp, plenty of veggies and sauce. It had the right amount of heat, not too hot and the shrimp was firm. My wife's mei fun with beef was also ample in quantity and had a little ginger flavor in the rice noodles. My hot n sour soup was fine. We didn't try the buffet or the sushi as neither of us as fond of both. Service was great, the place was clean and well lite and ample parking. This place is head and shoulders better than buffet joints and will give traditional Chinese and Japanese restaurants a run for their money. read more

We needed a carry out box for the fries because the shared servings were large & yummy. Surprised that our water had no ice. I would definitely recommend for a change of pace & especially if needing vegan entrees. So few restaurants offer that. Prices were very reasonable too. Also good for meat lovers.

As someone from Chicago who knows what proper Italian, or at least American-Italian pasta should taste like, this was the worst dinner in South Bend of my week long business trip. What a disappointment after seeing the high reviews. For better and fresher tasting pasta, go across the river to Macri's Bakery/Carmela's instead. The Navarre salad with candied nuts and crumbled cheese was perfect, no notes.

The photos looked incredible, and the stellar reviews confirmed it wasn't just good lighting. I was sold--even if Waze had other ideas! After my GPS took me on a scenic tour of South Bend, I almost gave up. I called the restaurant, and the staff graciously guided me in. From the outside, the brick building looks like a standard office, but once you step inside, you realize you've stumbled upon a total hidden gem. It feels like a beautiful secret. Upon entering, the entire staff welcomed me so warmly that I felt like I was catching up with old friends. I walked past the elegant bar and chose a seat in the dining room. The ambiance is romantic, relaxing, beautifully decorated, and quaint--yet completely comfortable if you are dining alone. I opted for the tasting menu, which is served as a total surprise. For a true foodie, this is pure heaven. I didn't dislike a single dish. In fact, each plate brought so much joy that I caught myself closing my eyes just to savor the flavors and the atmosphere. As I told the staff on my way out: "The food was so good, it makes you want to cry!" (Happy tears, of course!). If you're a local who hasn't been, GO. If you're traveling for work, GO. If you have a special occasion, GO. Life is short--take the road trip to South Bend just for Roselily. The menu changes so I'll be back every chance I get! My only actual complaint? The owner wasn't there for me to beg him to open a second location in Lexington, KY!

We dined at Roselily last night and I can say without hesitation this was one of the best dining…read moreexperiences I have ever had. We did the six-course chef's tasting with wine pairings and every single course delivered. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and incredibly well-balanced, and the wine pairings elevated everything even further. You can tell there is real thought and precision behind every detail--from the menu to the pacing of the meal. And the ambiance was a total vibe! But what truly made the experience stand out was the service. The team struck that rare balance of being both highly professional and genuinely warm. Nothing felt scripted. It felt personal. When they learned we were close to graduating from our MBA program, they surprised us with a menu signed by the entire staff, filled with handwritten notes of encouragement. One simply said, "Follow your dreams." That moment will stick with me forever: core memory unlocked. This is the kind of detail you do not forget. This is not just a great restaurant--it is a full experience. I would absolutely put Roselily at Michelin-star level. If you appreciate thoughtful, elevated dining with exceptional service, this place is worth going out of your way for. We will be back for sure!
