    Always good service. The food is incredible. You will be amazed at how good the sushi rolls are for being in a small town restaurant.

    Far better than I expected! For a small town off the beaten path, surprisingly high quality. Fantastic!

    Amazing place to get your sushi and hibachi. Great asset to the Royston area. Their sashimi and shrimp tempura rolls are the best!

    The prices were reasonable, the restaurant was nice, and the staff was friendly and quick, even on…read moreSunday after church. My teriyaki chicken and rice was about as cheap as a fast food combo meal and much better. I'm not the biggest fan of carrots, but I think these carrots were the best I've ever had. If I'm not a huge fan of carrots, I'm less a fan of sushi, but my wife ordered Little Japan rolls. I actually liked them. They were the best of my limited sushi experience. The restaurant itself is nice, with plenty of room and Japanese-themed paintings. I liked that, even with a full restaurant, the noise level was low enough to carry on a conversation easily.

    Went in and ordered a lunch special with 2 eggrolls on the side to go... explained to the young…read morelady that I didn't want rice (or carrots)... that I wanted the noodles. She said no problem. I ordered a tea as well. Several times I mentioned no rice... only noodles....lunch special (as described on their facebook which I tried to show her a pic of but she was too distracted, constantly interrupting, as though it was an inconvenience--surprising because there were only patrons at 2 tables, and several workers walking around or hanging around chatting with each other.) I got home and opened the box and no noodles... I was given rice covered in carrots!! I could've got mad...but mistakes happen. I called and talked to a nice young man who said sorry, come in and we'll replace the meal. He took down my name. Very professional and polite. Fast forward to today, one week later. I go in and get the same girl at the register--who should absolutely not be working with customers--and I explained to her that last week she entered my order wrong, I had called, and they were going to replace it. She said, 'You're only getting the meal...not the eggrolls." I told her I bought it all as one meal to enjoy together and when my order was wrong, I passed the entire meal it to someone else... so I'd like them to replace the entire meal (other than the tea). She told me they weren't handing out free eggrolls. Then she disappeared in the back for 10 minutes and another girl walks up and says, 'we're not replacing the eggrolls...' I explained to HER that I'd bought it as an entire meal to eat together and didn't get to eat it, and she said "Why did you give away your food? That's not our mistake..." I disagree. When I had to find something else to eat for dinner (which happened to be a quick meal I made myself), I wasn't going to eat eggrolls with it. I splurged on eating out a MEAL...not eggrolls, so gave the whole meal to someone who did like rice and carrots. Regardless, they were rude. I asked who their manager was...they said they didn't know. I asked who the owner was...they didn't know. Another young man finally told me the name of the owner who is also the manager.... like it was a big secret. This is a small town... I think the manager would want to know how rude these ladies were. Never did get the manager's last name... but buyer beware. They cannot be trusted to get an order right. They're too young to understand the cost of replacing 2 eggrolls is a LOT less expensive than a dissatisfied customer, who had to drive back into town on a separate trip to get the meal they'd paid for the first time (cost of time, gas, and wear&tear on vehicle is a LOT more than the cost of eggrolls). If you check online groups, you'll see this restaurant is hit and miss. If these kids running the place in the manager's absence had a good day...you'll get a good meal & service, exactly as you ordered it. But if they had a bad day at school..... buyer beware. Your food and experience is at the mercy of an overly emotional teenage girl with no customer service skills, no memory skills and a sharp tongue. Side note: The young man with the curly long hair is extremely polite... but not authorized to fix a mistake like this. Second Side Note: Go to Kobe instead. Food is always right. If your plate is wrong they won't deduct the cost of the eggrolls that are right.... and their eggrolls AND tea are MUCH better anyway.

    Absolutely delicious! Visited on a Sunday evening and were seated right away, though it did fill up…read moreduring our meal. Our waiter was fantastic and helped us decide on a sushi roll in the midst of a plethora of amazing sounding options. So glad we took his recommendation as it was probably the best sushi roll I've ever had. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, which is really the difference maker for sushi. The service was probably the fastest I've had at a sushi/hibachi restaurant as well. After sushi, I had the hibachi sirloin and chicken, which was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the quality of the chicken was great. The restaurant is not overly big, but it has a really nice relaxing vibe inside that makes for an enjoyable meal. Everything about our experience was top notch and I already can't wait to go back and try more sushi rolls. Absolutely recommend this restaurant if you're in Athens.
