Chicken Teriyaki white rice and veggies
Janelle T.

This spot is in a shopping center next to a few other popular food places. My daughter loves Asian food and when we come up from Virginia we tend to stop here for take out. The portion sizes are great, prices are reasonable and food quality/taste and appearance have always been good. Staff is ok, not overly friendly but not rude. They are usually pretty busy so short on their time to interact with customers. Place has a few tables to sit at, parking lot shared so limited on spots sometimes. If you like this type of food, definitely worth a stop if in the area craving a quick meal.

Chicken teriyaki bento box w/ edamame

First time visitor, food is flavorful and cooked perfectly. Cashier was very friendly and greeted you upon entering and exiting. Ambiance was very chill and safe. Would definitely visit again!

Assortment of special rolls, shrimp tempura, and seaweed salad
Jenny T.

Very clean and lighting is good. Small, but sufficient. Food didn't take too long. Quality was alright. Seaweed salad was meh-very sweet and too much sauce (dressing). The tempura was very good-one of the crunchiest, best batter I've had. But we shared four rolls and I wasn't super impressed by any of them. The rice was a little hard and didn't have too much flavor. The sesame was falling off. Best part was the 'express' part, which was great. We were in and out in like 20 minutes. And we sat down to eat! But the downside is everything is served in Styrofoam and to go containers. Definitely not a great first date place (or date in general).

Chicken Hibachi Combo no Veggies
Keke S.

The chicken hibachi combo was delicious! I ordered two of those and some California rolls. The California rolls tasted a little weird and could have been fresher. The rice on the rolls were extremely mushy in a bad way. Other than that the workers were very nice and generous with the extra sauces we asked for. Would come again.

First time trying Japan Express. I was so disappointed in the "fruit" that comes in this bento box. What is that 5 cubes of canned peaches or pineapple? That's gross.

Kaow Thai - Drunken Fried Rice with Chicken and beef

Came here for a dinner with the family. Parking lot located directly in front of the restaurant…read more The dining room has about 10-12 tables and a full bar area as well. The restaurant also appeared very clean. There was no wait and we were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and came to the table to take our drink orders, then came back for our meals. We were all pretty hungry so we knew what we wanted. I ordered the pad Thai, of course (I've never tried two pad Thai meals that tasted the same). The others in my party ordered lo mein and added beef and shrimp. Our food came within 10 minutes and was very hot. I enjoyed my meal and everyone else enjoyed their food as well. This was a great chill spot for a family meal and we will definitely be back. Kaow Thai was easily accessible for my mom, who uses a wheelchair. We were able to use the wheel ramp in front of the restaurant to get her inside. Accessibility is at the top of our list when deciding where to eat as a family, so I really appreciated that.

For food we started with Spring rolls and curry puffs there was a chill outside so each tried a soup mom tofu and seaweed and Tom Kha with chicken and no tomatoes my soup while good felt like it was missing something. The curry puffs were so good! But the best dish was what I came for the drunken fried rice it packed the right amount of heat I ordered medium and the rice was perfectly cooked. This place is a must stop if you're ever in the area. The place still looks the same but there are not very many workers.

Honestly, I was a little hesitant in trying this place out, because, you know, sushi at the mall? However, the hubs wanted to give them a try, so we went for it. We ordered: +Spicy Tuna Roll - this was described as diced sashimi-grade tuan with a spicy sauce; unfortunately, the tuna wasn't 'raw' and it tasted like canned tuna; rice was a bit more on the wet side +the Charo Burrito - this was filled with crab (imitation crab) and shrimp; this was a deep-fried 'sushi roll', and the flavor was actually pretty good; however, didn't know that cilantro was one of the ingredients they would add in there, so it totally ruined it for me; the sauce drizzles on top were great; this could have been more piping hot, as it was deep-fried, but I'm thinking it was a quick dip Staff were very friendly and kind. There's a sign that says that this place is halal. There seems to be many who get their items to go. Ample seating in the food court dining area, and plenty of parking in the mall lot. +avoid the maki rolls +friendly service +located inside the St. Charles Towne Center +ample parking in the mall lot

I got the fried sushi burrito with crab and shrimp and my daughter got the California roll. Her food was gone in seconds and she loved it. Mine was so good big that I took the other half home to finish. I wish this place was located in a better place, but when I have to go to the mall again, I will definitely get food from here again.

They also have a bar with $5 specials all day, every day--which is a huge plus. The staff are always incredibly friendly and attentive, providing prompt service that makes the experience even better. If you're not in the mood for sushi, the ramen is a must-try--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The wings also stand out with a very authentic taste that you don't find just anywhere. Overall, this spot is a hidden gem with great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

Against my better judgment, i shouldn't have ordered the Hawaii Roll -- the mango inside the roll gave me a bit of pause with consistency issue. Additionally, the rice on the sushi seemed gelatinous, like it was cooked too long. I didn't like it. The Tempura Roll was your standard fare. Lastly, while I love sashimi, the tuna offered with the chef's sampler was just ok. The star was the salmon -- buttery and smooth. Service was fine. We sat at the bar. Again, I wouldn't visit again, but try it for yourself. Cheers!

The tables are spacious enough to comfortably fit large groups (I've seen families of 8!), and there's plenty of room to spread out and enjoy everything. Ordering is super convenient with the self-serve tablet, making it easy to keep the food coming. One of the best parts is the variety--you can choose from hotpot, or go all in with hotpot, sushi, and BBQ. I've tried all three, and they do not disappoint! The selection feels endless, which makes every visit exciting. I especially love that you get to cook your own food, even the BBQ. That's a big plus since many Korean BBQ spots cook it for you. It makes the experience more interactive and fun. The soup bases are flavorful and really elevate the whole meal. And now they've started serving alcoholic beverages too, which is a great addition! Overall: Amazing food, fun atmosphere, and a hands-on dining experience that keeps me coming back every time.

However the service is absolutely terrible and only declining. Pace yourself when you're drinking whatever drink you ordered because the chance of you catching your waiter to get another one will be almost non existent. Mostly teenagers are employed here which is good for the work experience but they are too busy on their cell phones to check on their tables. Even when the restaurant is empty you will still not receive service. You will watch your waiter pacing back and forth on their phone longer than you will spend drinking your water/soda. I used to come here once a week but the service has deterred me so much that at most I come once a month and each time I come it's getting worse and worse. I've had to pull the manager up on shift one time to ask for a simple refill because my waiter was too busy on the phone. I'm usually a great tipper, 25% or more, here I simply give 18% because most visits I sit for 30+ minutes with nothing to drink and zero way besides walking up to the waiter to get their attention since their phones are so close to their face it's touching their noses. I won't even come for dinner anymore because the price is not worth their service.
