The sushi rice and portion sizes were just right. The shrimp pad Thai featured wonderful flavors, and the plate presentation was simple and clean. We ordered a duck dish, but it was quite disappointing. It had a livery taste, which I believe can happen if it's overcooked. I wouldn't recommend ordering any duck dishes in the future. Nevertheless, we had a wonderful experience overall and would definitely return to try other items on the menu.

We usually love this place but they've started to really over salt their food. The soup was almost…read moreinedible last week and the lobster and vegetables were also over salted. They were too busy to make any complaints or adjustments (one family came in who were an hour late for their reservation and, instead of continuing to get berated by the crazy-abrasive mom, the staff decided to seat them). The shrimp, steak, and rice were good! The service is always outstanding and the chefs put on a great show for the family! We will be back but we will ask for easy salt on all the food.

This visit last weekend was no exception and it's been a while since we've eaten here as a matter of fact. Let's see how it all turned out. We were promptly seated upon walking in. It was semi-packed but everyone seemed to be busy. The environment was very welcoming and calm. Always a great feeling from the staff every time we eat here. After a few minutes, we were ready to order. I selected one of their lunch dishes which we get in the afternoon. It was the shrimp tempura lunch box with french fries. It was good for the most part but lacked seasoning. Sophia said the same thing on her order which was the same but with fried rice. Nonetheless, I walked away full. Another nice visit here at one of our favorite spots in the Peninsula. You know we'll be back here again.

For starters we like the sushi appetizer (fresh and yummy), spring rolls, crab rangoons, and gyoza! All hit the spot - flavorful and perfect sized. With the size of the rolls, we normally just get two apps to share and one roll each. As someone who doesn't like a ton of raw fish, I get the Saisaki Special Roll. It has lobster salad, shrimp tempura and avacado. I love the eel and spicy mayo dipping sauce that gives it a great sweet and spicy combo. He gets the Sakura roll and loves it - fresh and unique. For drinks, I love the white sangria - sweet and refreshing.

My husband's ordering pepper steak me and my sister are ordering general tso chicken. I also ordered a spicy kani salad and we ordered pork dumplings and hot and sour soup. The hot and sour soup was not too bad. I felt like it could've used a little more seasoning, but they give you a generous, proportion . Had the spicy kani salad and I thought that was pretty good. It tasted very fresh and had a good crunch. The pepper steak was seasoned well very nice portion looked really good. Fried rice tasted really good. No complaints on the fried rice. The General tso chicken was excellent very crunchy and a very nice portion. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

After a long Friday at work, I was craving sushi and finally decided to try this spot, and I'm so…read moreglad I did. Walking in, I immediately got that cozy, family-owned vibe, and the server was super sweet and welcoming. She let us know it might take a little longer since it was just her and the sushi chef working, but I didn't mind at all it actually made the place feel even more personal. I ordered maguro, sake, and uni, plus a couple of specialty rolls. The maguro and sake were so fresh they just melted in my mouth, and the uni was perfect fresh and clean, which isn't always easy to find. The specialty rolls were decent, but I usually stick with classic sushi anyway. Overall, this little spot feels like a hidden gem in Newport News, and I'm thrilled to have found my new go to sushi place.

I read lots of reviews beforehand and knew that our food may take a little bit to get to us but we weren't bothered at all as each roll was obviously handmade and freshly prepared. The spicy tuna was particularly fresh, especially compared to the crunch-mixed mush you often get at other establishments. We ordered the volcano roll, Spencer roll, spicy tuna, and rainbow roll. In the pictures we had already each eaten a piece of spicy tuna. Our server was very attentive and nice, food was excellent. We will definitely be back.

I was really craving udon, and it's hard to find -- but I discovered this spot on Door Dash and…read morethought I'd give it a shot. I ordered the Kake Udon for me and two orders of steamed gyoza for my kiddo. I gotta say, I was surprised when the order arrived. The udon noodles were paper thin compared to what I'm used to. The fried tofu was so hard it was basically inedible, and the broth - well, it had little to no flavor. To top it off, my kiddo took a bite of one dumpling and then spit it out. This child DESTROYS dumplings, so I asked him what happened -- he said "who puts corn and carrots in a gyoza dumpling?!?" and I can't say I disagree with him. Pork and cabbage filling - duh! Overall, totally not our jam and we probably won't revisit it. I guess the reviews are based more on folks who haven't experienced true Japanese cooking? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure my Japanese host mother would have given it no stars.

Today I got the seafood ramen with mussels, clams and a couple of pieces of imitation crab sticks. The broth was warm and tasty, and spicy after adding generous spoonfuls of the chili oil, a must-add for cold, wet weather. I also snuck some bites of my husband's katsu-don and was a little jealous of how good it was. Next time I will get the katsu ramen bowl and have the best of both worlds. We also got sashimi and crab Rangoon for appetizers which everyone enjoyed. And my lychee ice tea was sooo good. It's a bit sweet but the lychee flavor was amazing and I can't wait to try the other flavors. Overall a great experience, especially after a day of traveling in chilly weather. Thank you for the great service and friendly welcome, can't wait to return!

We were seated right away and given time to look over the menu before the Hibachi Chef arrived. I love how hibachi restaurants sit you with other people because we were seated next to a very nice couple celebrating a birthday. Once we placed our orders, the Chef came to our table and started the grill. Andreas, our Chef, did a great job entertaining us all while preparing our food. He was funny and very personable. I decided on the Steak & Chicken Combo which included Fried Rice and Vegetables. I also was able to enjoy my friend's Shrimp as well. The food was amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful and the shrimp was tender and fresh. Overall, the food and the service were a 10/10! If I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely return! I highly recommend stopping by if you're craving hibachi, you will not be disappointed!

Located right next to the Hampton Roads Coliseum, it's the perfect spot if you're in the area for an event. I went with two of my girls, and we had such a great time from start to finish. Our chef was so much fun -- exactly what you want from a hibachi experience. He kept us entertained the whole time, and the energy at the table just made the night even better. I ordered the filet with hibachi rice, and everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was tender, flavorful, and the rice was just as good as I remembered (honestly, that hibachi rice always hits ). Portions were generous too -- I ended up taking half my meal home, and it reheated really well the next day, which was a huge plus. Between the fun atmosphere, great service, and really solid food, this is definitely a spot I would go back to -- especially if I'm in the Coliseum area again. Honestly, I just wish I had a place like this closer to home because it was that good.

It's mostly been hibachi dinners, but also mix in Happy Hour visits and last year, a visit for Newport News Restaurant Week. Let's see how this one turned out. When we walked inside, they had a nice crowd for lunch. Again, it was a holiday. We were able to be seated quickly and did take some time looking at the menu. Staff was busy and the waitress did take a minute to come to our table, but it really wasn't a rush on our day off. For my meal, I selected gyoza for appetizers and their stir-fried bento box with beef as the protein with hot spice. Everything that was cooked very well. The gyoza was full of flavor along with enough dipping sauce to help with each taste. The bento box was really good. There was enough protein and veggies included and the hot spice wasn't that spicy on the palate at all. A nice lunch that kept us full. Hayashi did deliver for the day. You know we'll be back :)

Our waiters came out and took our orders and the chefs arrived. I sat on the outside, so each chef had to push their cart right up against the back of my chair with all the raw ingredients as they came in and out. The chef was nice enough and the food was very good. The steak was tender and the shrimp were very tasty. One very big turn off was cleaning the grill afterwards as we are eating. The chef poured the water on the grill and steam was just bathing our guests as they ate. The smell wasn't pleasant and it was just not good. I understand the need to clean it while hot but it wasn't a good memory. Between the two tables (16 people) we were there about an hour and a half, easily spending $1000. You could tell they wanted us out and began to put plates down on the grill and come back to the table every 30 seconds to awkwardly collect a spoon. It was dumb. Anyway, food was good, very expensive but not anything we need to do again soon.
