California roll is always my go-to for sushi cravings, and theirs is made very well with quality ingredients. I appreciate that they do not skimp on the avocado slice like other places do (can you tell I'm partial to avo?) I like how you can order roll "sets" of 1, 1.5, or 2. don't quote me on exact numbers, but for example, if you order 1, you get six rolls if you order 1.5 you get nine rolls if you order 2 you get 12 rolls, etc.. . Rice ratios are perfectly balanced. They do not over- stuff with rice. As for service, I ordered online for pick up. Rolls were ready very quickly. I can't really comment on ambience since I sent daughter to retrieve food and I did not have opportunity to dine there. Pricing was excellent. Compared to sushi rolls you get at Kroger, buying here is actually cheaper! As far as quality, I would prefer purchasing from here versus Kroger. Next time I'm in Bloomington and I'm craving rolls, will for sure order from Maje!

The place is kept clean and tidy If I were an IU student I'd definitely be going there whenever I needed an Asian food experience ! The service was great, too. Quick, efficient, and friendly.

So far, Mura is my favorite Korean restaurant in Bloomington. To be fair, I haven't explored too…read moremany others in town, but Mura stands out for its great flavors and reasonable prices. On this visit, we originally tried to go to the Sushi Bar and Toto's Uncle, but with the students away for winter break, many nearby restaurants had adjusted hours. Luckily, Mura was open, and because the students are gone, the restaurant is quiet and there were plenty of seat available. They offer both sushi and Korean food, but we opted for the Korean dishes. I thought the portions were well-sized and satisfying. I'm currently on a quest to find the best bibimbap in Bloomington, and for now, Mura is leading the pack, but it's still missing a bit of something...

I ordered the tonkatsu ramen, which was tasty but definitely on the westernized side -- I mean, who puts corn in ramen? They certainly don't do that in Japan, but whatever, it still hit the spot. Only real downside: the bathroom lighting. It was way too dark -- all the lights were off except a few near the sink, which made it feel kind of spooky. Still, overall a solid spot for Japanese food in Bloomington!

We were seated quickly, our food came out quickly, and our drinks and broth was topped up often. You check out at the counter, when you're ready to go, which I always appreciate. Would love to try the sushi next time on another visit to Bloomington.

My boyfriend wanted to leave, but I was curious to see just how bad things could get. Unfortunately, it didn't get much better. After finally placing our order, we waited another 30-40 minutes for our food and then an additional 10-15 minutes just to get our check. In total, we spent over an hour there--most of it just waiting. The menu was disorganized and lacked clear descriptions. The menu should either be alphabetized or categorized more effectively--separating raw, cooked, and specialty rolls more clearly. While the order sheet had some structure, many specialty rolls can also be raw or cook, making it difficult to know exactly what we were getting. When the food finally arrived, it was underwhelming. We ordered three rolls and a chirashi bowl. The chirashi bowl listed "crab meat," but it turned out to be imitation crab--something that should have been disclosed. The other rolls were forgettable, and my fried roll was poorly executed; it lacked enough batter, so instead of a crispy texture, the rice became soggy with oil. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. The excessive wait times, poor menu organization, and mediocre food make it a place I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. If you're looking for quality sushi, I'd recommend finding another spot.

Excellent Thai restaurant with high marks for food, service, and atmosphere…read more I've tried the Thai fish cakes, sweet and sour saute, pad bus sa ra com, mango sticky rice, and Thai iced tea and coffee. The savoury dishes were all super flavourful, cooked well, and generously portioned. Maybe this has something to do with the dishes I got, but I think the flavours here are generally more intense than the other Thai restaurants I've tried in Bloomington, and their spice levels might be a little higher. I've been somewhat underwhelmed by level 3 (out of 5) at other places, so I tried level 4 the first time I ordered here, and it was a little too hot, so I went back to level 3 the next time, and it was just right. The Thai tea and coffee were both very good, especially the coffee. It almost tasted chocolatey. The service is consistently on top of it. I was there on Valentine's Day, and they were slammed but had enough staff on the floor for it; the food was quick as usual and everyone was still very friendly. I also love the atmosphere here. The building is one of the converted houses on 4th St, and there are different dining rooms, some with lots of windows, all filled with interesting decor, and there's also a very nice patio during the warmer seasons. The only problem here is, unless there's a back entrance I don't know about, I don't think the building is wheelchair accessible; you have to go up a few stairs to get to the main entrance.

All were great, fresh ingredients, served in concert, and quickly, too. This was a family meal, and all were delighted, including the children with chicken fingers and fries. We're trying to expand their horizons, but picky eaters are tough. The appetizers were especially good, and each has their own different sauce. My order was well-spiced, and there was enough taken home for a second delicious meal. This is perhaps the best and most consistent Thai food in Bloomington. There are rivals to this high throne, and we try them, too, but this is our go-to for no-compromise Thai, every order consistently great.

Got hibachi, we always get the chicken and steak, prices have gone up since we started coming here…read moreso for 2 adults with s&c, you're looking at around 75-100$. I got the shrimp tempura, and it was cold, and tasted like it was yesterdays. No crunch to the tempura whatsoever. i asked if they make it per order or one giant batch then use throught the day and the lady looked very confused. Ice cold shrimp, soggy breading, not a good mixture. Ive never had an issue with the tempura. Dinner was excellent of course. Recommend 10/10 Might want to skip sushi though. I dont recommend that. So I've read some of the reviews about how this place is really dark and dingy, when you first walk in lights are on you can see what you're doing you can see everybody there's a bar to your right and there's Booth seating for non hibachi. When you walk through the doors you're right at the desk to check in. If you look straight you can see the Hibachi room. This is a darker room so it can be more intimate. With the whole fire going on the grill, keeping it dim in the room gives it a "wow" factor and to set the mood/ambiance. Its not so dark you cant see, its just not as bright. If it's a bright room and you're having all of these fire tricks going on it's not a big wow factor. I've never had a metallic taste happen in this restaurant, nothing is wrapped in tinfoil, and I've been coming here since I moved here in 2010. Now you can sometimes get overcooked food here if the chef is overworked, but as long as you talk to them and tell them that it is overcooked they'll remake it for you. Or they'll take it off your check. Everyone here is easy going even on a super busy day. I've never had attitude from anybody. Also they don't use a bunch of sauce to Overcoat your food with flavor. A lot of other places will just load it up with teriyaki sauce and the other sauce that I can't think of the name of but the reason why they do that is because the food isn't fresh here the food is fresh. They use fresh ingredients. I've been to other Hibachi places where in their vegetables they add corn and green beans which ruins the whole flavor and then when they're cooking on the grill they add jarred garlic which is a whole different flavor that doesn't mix with the Hibachi experience. Everything is cut in front of you so if you don't think that your chicken is correctly colored you can see it and you can tell them. Again if you don't like something TALK TO THEM. They dont bite.

This is one of those close to campus places that serve a lot of food at prices students (and…read moreothers) can afford. As this place has limited seating inside, they must also do a lot of take-out business. After our IU student granddaughter took us on a tour of campus, we had lunch here. She'd been here before (after dorm food service hours) and recommended it. You order at the counter, and after a reasonable wait, our order was ready. Our Table for 4 was available, and we dug in.

There are a few tables inside and outside but everything is packed to go. I ordered a Godzilla roll. The cashier was nice and my roll was prepared quickly. The Godzilla roll was inexpensive but small. At first I thought the roll also had an uncharacteristically fishy taste, but I think that unexpected flavor was just been cooked fish. The fish was thinly sliced and I didn't want to dissect the roll to confirm, but that's what it seemed like. (Also, it's been more than 48 hours and I never got sick, so definitely wasn't bad fish.) The menu description of the Godzilla roll just says "4 kinds of fish", so it's possible that includes cooked and I just wasn't expecting it. A more specific description would have been helpful. I liked the roll inside a roll concept, but didn't really like the combination of cooked and raw (or whatever was giving it that specific taste) and was left wishing there was some sort of vegetable in the roll. I But for cheap sushi, there was nothing else really wrong with it, it just wasn't to my taste. I'm not itching to go back, but if I wanted sushi or similar fast again, I'd consider giving them another try to see if something else appeals to me more.
