What a hidden gem! We visited on a Friday evening with friends and had a great experience overall…read more The shrimp shumai and Korean fried chicken were incredible. For entrees, the pork belly udon was a highlight, and the ramen featured a perfectly creamy egg. We also tried the milk tea with boba, which was very refreshing. However, it was confusing that one drink was served in a significantly smaller cup than the others, especially since the menu didn't list different size options. Despite the drink inconsistency, the food makes this spot well worth a visit.

I was expecting more heat and less sauce for the Korean spicy fried chicken wings. It was not spicy and not quite what I was craving based on what I had at other locations. Absolutely loved the rose milk tea with sea salt cream foam though. I recommend 50% sweetness. It was perfect! I'll definitely come back to try the ramen and maybe karaage chicken.

The restaurantvwas a little more casual than I envisioned, but we were seated right away. The hostess/server took our order and our entrees arrived a short time later. We each ordered the bento box dinner. I ordered shrimp, my daughter ordered chicken. Each bento box comes with soup, salad, protein of choice, vegetables, noodles or rice, California sushi roll and 2 mini spring rolls, for just a little over $20. The serving was more than generous, the soup was a nice starter, the salad was crisp & fresh, nicely dressed with a tasty ginger dressing. The actual meal was very good, the veggies, were fresh, and perfectly cooked, along with our protein. The noodles were a little more cooked than I would have liked, I'd probably get fried rice the next time. The sushi roll was tasty, as was the spring rolls. Lots of value for the amount paid, I will return!

This restaurant is overhyped. There was one girl running the front counter, taking orders, and…read moremaking drinks at the bar. The service before placing our order and after was virtually non-existent. The food came out quickly after ordering. The appetizers were nice. Light and crispy crab Rangoon and vegetable spring rolls. The ginger salad dressing was tasty. All of the sauces were thin and watery. The food itself was a bit on the bland side, if I'm being frank. We all got steak hibachi. The sushi was the star of the show. Go there for the sushi, if anything. Super fresh and tasty. I'm glad to have tried this restaurant, but I can't say I'd be going back anytime soon. The bathrooms were very clean, though. The ambiance quickly turned sour. It became an absolute ZOO at 5:30 on a Saturday. The tiny front lobby was piling up quickly. Karen had a scowl on her face. The music was obnoxiously loud, crappy 90s style. (Take it down about 20% there, chief!) It was like a nightmare loop, and I was glad to leave! For now, I'm going to stick with going to a more relaxed hibachi called Maki in Diamond Center. Thanks, anyway.

Not terrible by intent--but stretched absurdly thin. One server, too many tables, and a look in their eyes like they've seen things.

Although you can hear every single conversation around you, it isn't a bother. Suggestion, play some cool Asian fusion music to enhance the experience. Our servers left something to be desired. The initial interaction with the lady serving bread only knew 3 words...bread, one or two. I wanted to communicate with her, but wearing an outdoor winter vest and her disconnected behavior canceled that attempt. Tyler was our server who we barely saw. I had to ask his name, and thats a pet peeve to start. He never cleared our bread and butter dishes ...also annoying to have dirty dishes in front of me...especially after I pushed them to the edge ... a clear indication to take it away. Now the food. My corn chicken chowder was served hot and creamy. Loved it. The spinach, mushroom and mozarella stuffed bacon wrapped chicken breast perched atop over cooked bok choy... laced atop bacon rice and surrounded by a 5spice seasoning was beautiful BUT overwhelming. The price was cool at $26 , however I doubt ANYONE can eat this serving. It would be better a smaller portion and lesser price. It was seriously enuf food for more than 2 people unless your just a gluten. I wish I had room for dessert because they all look like a work of art! Kudos but also let's be more reasonable. I may give it another try but probably for lunch. I dont eat that much!

I wanted another roll and had to flag down a bus person to ask for it. It arrived after I finished the meal, so I took it home with the leftovers. The food was beautifully presented and tasty. My steak was a little more than medium but still OK. The salads were huge and a shared portion was more than adequate. We split the mango cheesecake for desert. It was beautifully presented and dense, smooth and tasty. All in all, although not perfect, it was a good experience at a fair price.

I have been lucky enough to eat at some amazing restaurants in North America and throughout Europe…read more I really wanted to leave a great review for this local restaurant... I really wanted to. Since a number of our friends have been to this establishment and left great reviews, I really wanted to do the same. I really wanted to. However, I'm struggling to do so. It started with our table not being ready yet, no worries there, we understand. The host took us to a lovely little alcove and sat the four of us down and we were quickly approached by the Sommelier. This establishment obviously takes their wine very seriously, almost to the point of being pretentious. But not all of us are wine drinkers. Due to an allergy to sulfites. When we looked at the list of available mixed drinks, nothing really appealed... So my wife asked for a simple vodka and tonic. She was informed that that was not one of the "APPROVED" drinks that they offered. What !?! They have vodka, they have tonic... Why can't we get what we want? When my friend requested an IPA he was informed that IPAs don't pair well with the food offerings, consequently, they do not have that option. Frankly, shouldn't that be HIS decision what he feels pairs with HIS palette and not the restaurants? Just a bit pretentious. Did I mention I really wanted to write a great review? So we sucked it up and ordered two glasses of overpriced white wine ($18 for a glass of mediocre wine) and two of the "approved" drinks offered. At this point, I'd like to state that the service we received other than the initial pretension exhibited by the wine Sommelier, was amazing. Our waiter was attentive and well trained and the support staff made sure that our water glasses were filled. Thankfully, I can leave a great review with regards to them. Now to the food... the dumpling sampler was delicious. The four of us ordered the ribs, the duck, the beef and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles. Honestly, almost all of the dishes were deliciously prepared, albeit a bit modest on the quantity of food presented. Our waiter initially suggested that these could be shared... I'm not sure how we would do that with the smaller plates offered as entrées. My noodles, however, came out as a solid chunk of over microwaved noodles, the kind that you get if you forget to take your Costco ramen out of the microwave in time. It was a solid block of dried out noodles. I was about to call our waiter over and ask that they give it another shot. When out of the corner of my eye I saw my wife giving me "the look", don't make it a thing her eyes said to me. So I took my chopsticks and pried the noodles apart, and tried to mix them with the sauce as best as I could. So to summarize; *A little too pretentious on the whole drink thing. I think they're trying too hard. *Service was great *Three out of four entrees were a success * $17 for a mixed drink is pricey but doable, $18 for mediocre wine not so much. As I mentioned, I really wanted to leave a good review... sadly other than the waiter and the support staff I find it difficult to do. Thank you
