    Crab rangoon roll.
    Dan T.

    We usually have pretty good luck picking out sushi spots in rural/off the main road spots. Places that you would just shrug off and give a hard pass on the sushi in... Today I about threw in the towel here in Springfield MO and said... "Nope. Not here." From the outside, and somewhat from the inside too, Misaki (formerly Little Tokyo) was a literal hole in the wall. I don't mind rolling the dice now and then, but this place screamed.... "Food poisoning!" The place was pretty empty at about 545 pm. The floor was kind of sticky. It looked like everyone else was ordering the hibachi style items... But the recent Yelp reviews were pretty good. Service was great and as it turned out.... So were the sushi rolls. Fried crispy roll Spicy jalapeño roll Crab rangoon roll Hot Springfield roll Cadillac roll A little heavy handed on the sauces, but the freshness of the rice, vegetables, cream cheese, seafood etc. still came through. I absolutely LOVED the spicy jalapeño roll! Glad I didn't cut and run. You can't always judge a book by the cover.... Especially when it comes to food! There's another dive next door to Misaki (Sam's Southern Eatery) that I have to check out now too!

    Updating review. They've changed their name to Misaki. Nothing else has seemed to change. Still our favorite Japanese restaurant in Springfield. Reasonable prices with generous portions. Menu items are same-- with exception of price increases for inflation. Friendly staff with efficient service. Sushi is best in town and delicious. Dine in, drive through, and carry out available. Consistently busy restaurant.

    Unassuming little joynt with quick and friendly service. Fish on the rainbow roll was fresh and hibachi beef plate was tasty. Good portions and pricing.

    Rainbow sushi roll
    John H.

    This is a nice gem of a restaurant. A friend and I attended their lunch time serving during the week. The building is old and unassuming from the outside. Inside the restaurant the setting is clean and decorated nicelyin Japanese decor. Our server was most polite and helpful in ordering and service. I ordered the Hibachi chicken. It came with vegetables, fried rice, noodles and a side salad. The food tasted as good, if not better, than some high end Japanese restaurants in town. We shared a Rainbow sushi roll. I attached a pic. Again, it was very delicious. Overall, it is an excellent choice for great food. I will be back!

    Decent sushi for the north side. Not the best but the best choice if you must stay on the north side. Much better options tho.

    Only 3 stars, hibachi spicy chicken was great. The sushi rolls are something else. Will not return with much better sushi options in town.

    This place is sooo sooo yummy. The food is comparable to the fancy Japanese steakhouses in the area. The prices are great. Will be back!

    What is the salad dressing?

    Two choices. Ginger dressing or A type of Mayonnaise based yum yum dressing. Both very flavorful! Can purchase bulk by the cup also.

    There seems to be a trend of new Asian fusion restaurants that have opened recently, this is one of…read morethe better ones in my opinion. Now I'm not a giant fan of the plain old Chinese restaurants that seem to be on every other block here in Springfield, but picky me really likes Asian fusion restaurants. Its clean, friendly, and fast service here, with a large menu. They offer anything from sushi, shrimp with lobster sauce, sweet and sour chicken, and just about any other of your favorite Asian dish's. The lunch special is very well priced and includes the entree, your choice of 2 crab rangoon's, egg role, or soup as an added side to the meal. It's a really nice portion of food, it all comes un-assembled so you decide how much sauce to add, which is a great touch. Also, like how they bread the chicken, it's more of a wet batter to start and fry's up nice and puffy so to say. One cool thing about the decor is the gold cat on the counter that is perpetually waving hello, really want to know where I can get one of those, lol. Give it a try for lunch, really can't beat that special, and they can be pretty busy at times, which means to me I'm not the only one who knows good food in this town.

The man was hard to understand, could not answer my questions about tofu or their seafood and the woman on the phone loudly with "business". While going through a pretty extensive menu, noticed grubhub there a few times but zero customers at 1pm. As avoiding meat I went with the seafood dinner with lobster $21 w tax. Asked for water was given a tiny styrofoam cup? I saw no glasses. My meal came out with a scoop of rice on styrofoam plate, and they dish itself is served in a black carry out?? I had said dine in. No plates or silverware. The rice cold. The dish had 4 good pieces of shrimp but sadly no flavor. The scallops tiny and filled with grit. The lobster seemed fresh, of course smallish but he overcooked it, the only thing that looked like I might get lucky with. They appear to possibly be going out of business, so maybe why the quality was a 1. When I got up to leave she finally spoke and asked how was it and I told her the scallops filed with grit (low quality) the lobster overcooked and tough. She just smiled and went on. They have combos for $9.99 and the store next to, said that was all they would eat, wish I would have known as would have save myself ten dollars and actually had a decent lunch perhaps. Next time will eat at the cafeteria, where if something spoiled can get replaced.
