We were shopping in the area and decided to grab some sushi. We ordered everything to-go and took…read moreit home, and honestly, everything was really good! We got two sushi rolls, soups, appetizers, and chicken udon. I did ask for the chicken udon to be spicy, but unfortunately, it wasn't spicy at all.

And it was a popular spot, the place was packed on a weeknight. So it took a little longer to get our order but we didn't mind as long as the food is good..and it was! The fish was fresh and they had a good variety of rolls. We ordered: House Salad Avocado Salad Sushi Entree (10 pieces of chef's choice nigiri with tuna roll) Shrimp Nigiris Eel Nigiris Eel Avocado Roll Yellowtail Scallions Roll Spicy Salmon Roll Salmon Roll Sexy Roll Didn't realized we ordered so much until afterwards..All the rolls, nigiris and salads were good. I think next time we might as well opted for the AYCE deal to check out more items.

Would definitely return again to try other options.

I love how the servers have all been so knowledgeable of the menu; different types of broth, flavors, and how to recommend what to order!!

Saturday afternoon, made plans to stop in and check it out (off peak lunch time -2pm-ish). They were moderately busy... for good reason! Had the Black ramen and it was . Gone in 60 seconds but super flavorful and delicious!! We also had the fried shrimp shu mai with dipping sauce... piping hot and delicious!! Our server was super friendly and took care of us. Actually the entire staff really took care of us and you can tell in the food as well. A lot of love, passion, and great ingredients go into all their entire menu. Location wise, this place is definitely a "sleeper" place just because it's tucked back in Stonecrest across from the movie theater. The dining room is cozy but there are booths and tables.... Small outdoor dining area with a handful of tables too. Overall a great place to get great ramen! Just wished it was closer but again, I would be here daily getting ramen.

The one dude here either hates me or his job bc every time I come and he's working he looks sooooo annoyed to take my order and like stares at me and other people awkwardly.

I've ordered the exact same thing every time I've come here and yet somehow it's spicy one time and then savory the next. I think I give up.

I want to preface this review by saying that I am a sushi connoisseur. I've eaten sushi all over…read morethe world so I know good sushi. I had high expectations when I walked in with my husband. It had a Michelin 2025 sticker on the front door so I thought it would be amazing. I want to say that the service was excellent. Very attentive servers, very professional, very friendly. The service was 5-stars for sure. Next, the food. We started with the miso soup and ginger salad. Miso soup was bland and the ginger dressing on the salad was super bland. We ordered the crispy spicy tuna and the steamed shumai next. The crispy spicy tuna was weird. The first taste bud stimuli was fishy and the last thing you tasted was McDonald's hashbrowns. Also, the chopsticks were very cheap and when you picked up the piece it basically fell apart. The presentation for the steamed shumai was horrible. It was served in a bowl with the chili garlic sauce in a tiny bowl on the side. The pieces were wayyy too big to pick up with the chopsticks and for the mouth. But if you managed to get the thing in your mouth, it was super hot and basically burned your mouth. Like there was no option to take a bite it was either shove the whole thing in your mouth or not eat it at all. The rolls we ordered were the Mr Crabby, which was the only good thing we ordered. The Naruto, which had too many layers of cucumber wrapped around it and the pieces were mini. The villain, a $25 roll with caviar on top, but the caviar was so sparse, it could barely be seen with the naked eye. Rainbow roll was ok but again, the pieces were tiny. Every roll was flavorless and the price point was stupid. $122 plus tip for a bland lunch was retarded. Super disappointed.
