The dishes are all usually well-prepared, especially the sushi, and cooked/made to order. On one occasion the steak hibachi was overdone but the other time it was fine... Service is great here, very friendly and upbeat (even in spite of being short staffed)...and the environment is easygoing and chill (you won't feel rushed)... Parking is plentiful, and it does get very busy on the weekends. You can make reservations for larger groups (over 5 people, I think). Definitely give this place a try, if in the area! If you're not in the mood for a lot of food, you can also just order off the menu...you will still get very generous portions!

I really wanted to love this place, but my experience was just okay. I may have chosen the wrong…read morerolls, so take this with a grain of salt. I ordered a jalapeño cream cheese roll that unfortunately was completely overpowered by onions -- it drowned out the other flavors. I also tried a roll with a wasabi honey sauce that just didn't work for me at all; the sweetness and wasabi combination tasted off and kind of unpleasant. The other rolls weren't bad, but they felt like they were missing some texture -- a bit of crunch would have made a big difference. That said, the ingredients seemed fresh and the presentation was nice. I'd consider giving it another try and ordering differently next time.

What absolute fabulous sushi. Wednesday has deals on $7 roll and $3 nigiris…read more The martinis are also $5.50/7. Everything is always fresh here. At regular time prices (not Wednesday or Friday) this place is expensive. Ordered 6 oysters onetime without asking and they were ala cart at $5. Not worth it. But nice servers and bartenders. One of my favorite sushi spots in town.

Spicy Tuna Roll - this was a good roll and pretty mild on the spice. Not a huge fan of the crunch inside, it kind of dried out the roll a little for me, but it was still good! Crazy Boy Roll - this was a really good fried roll, lots of flavor and would order it again! Overall great experience. I came in between the lunch and dinner rush so it was pretty empty and the food came out quickly. The server was friendly and helpful.

We started off with a mango lemonade and blackberry lemonade. Big glasses. Nice colors. Not sure where the lemon or fruit was in the drink. Out came the gyoza and fried calamari rings and the Salmon Lover Roll. The gyoza was the best part of the lunch. The calamari was chewy. I expected savory sauce for dipping but they went with sweet. That's ok. The salmon roll was "ok". But not on the list to reorder if or when we return. I read another review that suggested folks stick to the ramen side of the menu... unfortunately I read that review after we had eaten. Maybe next time...

We all opted to try the ramen, each of us trying a different base. Food arrive quickly and hot, and was at the caliber of quality of Ramen restaurants I've been to on the West Coast. The servers were attentive, but didn't hover. My kids enjoyed watching the sumo match and commented they liked the decor. Highly recommend this gem of a ramen restaurant.

Yeah it's a chain and most of their items are probably mediocre. However, when you have a few items…read morethat you really enjoy and seem to not find too often elsewhere -in the same form, it's worth mentioning. The service and ambiance were great. Our server Grace was good and all the others hustling around and doing the line dancing keeps the vibes high. It was cooked to our liking and it hasn't been a problem the handful of times we have gone in the past 15 years. It really does take a well oiled crew and process to keep up with customers and all the complaints on getting that meat to the perfect doneness. I'd say Coralville site has it down well. I believe I even eye-witnessed a manager being very professional addressing a customers complaint most likely due to the doneness of their steak. Prime rib - medium rare - that's the ticket. I wouldn't want to get much else really as charcoal homegrown family steak at home can't be beat. However, my husband doesn't really dabble in prime rib and this has been the best around. You really have to enjoy the fatty goodness. Au jus and horse radish sauce goes great with it. I also do enjoy their baked potato with the oil and salted skin. Caesar salad to add some greens was good along with the yummy buns that we had no reason to add to the meal but dang too tempting to not nibble on them while we wait. We don't get out to steak joints often since we eat that at home but that prime rib sure is a treat.

My experience here was poor. I ordered 2 pastas, a side of broccoli, and potstickers for dine-in…read more To start, the potstickers were literally cold, potentially uncooked. I didn't realize they were uncooked until I took a bite, and they tasted horrible. The broccoli side was good and surprisingly well priced for the portion given. I got the tortellini which was heavy on the mushroom flavor due to the mushroom sauce- which I thought was interesting because I didn't remember that being mentioned anywhere in the description. And the last pasta was cajun chicken pasta (i think). It was meh. Overall the food was nothing spectacular. Also, I felt really bad for the employees. There was one lady, who I am guessing was the manager, running around yelling at everyone, but to an outsider it just seemed like the manager was bad at her job. When our order was being taken, the manager came up to the person halfway through taking our order and told her to switch places with another employee. The employees immediately complied, and the manager went to yell at someone else. Then we had to re-order what we had started to order which is fine, but I felt like it was super weird behavior from the manager. I'm probably doing a bad job at explaining the bad vibes this lady brought to the place, but it was bad enough that I was like 1. I feel bad for the workers and would never want to work here myself and 2. Thats probably why our food was uncooked, the employees were so busy getting yelled at for nonexistent things that they forgot.
