On my way out took this pic

Not worth the drive to this place if you want to receive bad service. Upon arrival, I guess stood there waiting to be seated as the employee walked in front of us and ignored us then passed us again as we were not even around her visual sight this upset us because we had great expectations to eat here seeing that it has more than 3 stars but I guess it just wasn't what we expected. This is just my own opinion. Hopefully, if you happen to stop by maybe you get better service

#10

I really wanted to give them benefit of the doubt. I always come here to the market and it smells great . I finally went over and ordered #10 the beef Vietnamese noodles and immediately when he put in on the table the sourest smell in the world. I tried to eat it looked good but tasted horrible. I've never got up and left a restaurant but today I did and I'm so mad I paid prior to eating.

The food is good , but the cleanliness and atmosphere may make you question your dining choices. It hits the spot for sure; especially in an Asian food desert. Having said that, it seems that the flavors are a bit muted. The bone broth isn't nearly as rich and flavorful as most I've tasted, and the ingredients seem a bit over-cooked - especially the egg, which is over-fried instead of soft-boiled. I would also choose to take my food to go. The restaurant is cold and the tables (at least the one we sat at) are dirty, with the condiment jars sticking to the table, leaving rings. The best part is the adjacent market which has anything and everything you'll need when it comes to international cuisine.

Beef noodle soup new cook version up top (that's with broth added) bottom photo old cook.

The bottom photo is what I was expecting to get (Beef noodle soup) The top photo is what I got. There was virtually no broth and had no flavor. I called, and was told that their is a new cook, and they would let him know. I don't like writing bad reviews, but told them not to sell that anymore till they figured it out.

Hole in the wall atmosphere, HUGE portions for a few bucks. I come here when I go shopping at the joined grocery store.

Came to Evansville for a work. Boss found the place and thought we give it a try since the reviews were good. It's a hole in the wall place. Restaurant is not very clean. Restaurant is attached to the Asian store. Very small. I would not recommend this place for big groups. Very limited space. The Crab Rangoon was very plain. There was no crab chunks. The cream cheese was not flavorful. My boss got the Pad Thai and it did not taste like Pad Thai...my Beef Chow Fun was decent. The beef was not chewy. The noodles were cooked fine. It wasn't the best Chow Fun that I've ever had though. Heads up, you go grab your own drink from the drink fridge.

Pad Thai and pork belly noodle soup from Mama's Kitchen... deliciousness!!
T C.

OMG...what GREAT food!! I left SO full that I was miserable but I could not get enough of the wonderful flavors MaMa put in my pork belly soup bowl. My hubby's Pad Thai was pure heaven on a plate. Go hungry because she gives you enough food for a small army and all for $7.99.

Bibimbap...pretty delicious.

Zuki Japanese Hibachi Grill & Sushi Lounge - California roll, with imitation crab!

I entered the place and it was empty, with a few staff talking! A handsome and energetic man,…read moreJustus, sat me in the front corner near the entrance, that he called the VIP section! He gave me a menu, and asked if they had any NA drinks. They did not! So, I opted for hot tea. My cousin was on the phone annoying me, so I got him off the phone ASAP, so I could enjoy the experience. Jusus was engaging and a wonderful conversationalist. He was genuine and sincere, an excellent qualities, in any occupation! I started with two soups, and neither of them was what I expected. One tasted like it had freeze dried, or dehydrated mushrooms that hadn't totally rehydrated, and I told Justus, so. I knew what I wanted, so he suggested the sashimi dinner. That way I could get raw seafood, and a "roll" of choice so I ordered a California roll, with real crab. I started with the seafood sampler which was two of everything, sans shrimp . . . there were four! The shrimps was crispy and delicate, and thankfully not pre-breaded. Everything was delicious! The crab rangoon could have used more crab in it, but was tasty. The gyoza dumpling, egg roll (cut in half) were all good! I had sweet chili sauce the most! Then out came my dinner. I asked for low sodium soy sauce, and it was provided. The first shock was that the fish looked like it had been cut with a straight razor! The slices were so thin, they almost looked translucent! They had octopus and butterflies, though the latter tasted good, it also tasted like it had been previously frozen! The California roll was pretty enough and they had tobiko on the outside like I had requested, but there was imitation crab inside! I pointed out that I'd specifically asked for real crab. They only had soft shell crab, and at Justus's suggestion, I had it as a roll. All in all, it was a wonderful and eye opening experience! If you want to try it, I suggest you try it soon, as I heard it would soon be turning into an Italian Resturante!

We went mid-February 2026 and it was our worst visit to Zuki ever. We have been going for over 10…read moreyears for my brothers birthday. Unfortunately this year was the last. We went at 6pm on a Tuesday and we were the only people there to eat. No one at any tables, no one at hibachi. We were literally the only people there. We had hibachi. Service was slow, they never cleared the table after the soup and salad. Waters were empty, beers/drinks never asked if we wanted another. It took a very long time before the chef came out and we think they had to call him in from his house. He looked like he just woke up from a nap. We have loved Zuki in the past but it's unlikely we will ever return. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Still our family "go-to" restaurant. Ricardo (sushi) is amazing and Godzilla is a solid second…read more We dine there often.

We visited Kanpai on a Friday night at about 6:30pm. We stood by the hostess stand for quite a…read morewhile before a staff member told us to sit where we wanted. There were maybe three other tables with customers. As soon as we sat down we noticed our table was sticky and had water rings all over it. The person that took our drink order was a child and he seemed extremely nervous. We ordered crab rangoons for our appetizer, the crabzilla roll, and the sesame ahi tuna. The tuna came with either miso soup or salad and I chose salad. My date also ordered a salad on the side. The sushi roll came out very quickly, before anything else. There were no utensils, napkins, or soy sauce on our table. We had to ask for chopsticks. The crabzilla roll tasted okay but was quite small. The crab rangoons came out with one of our salads. We had to ask for our extra salad. The crab rangoon was barely warm but they tasted good. The salads were a nice size but the dressing was extremely heavy on the sesame oil. My ahi tuna came out last and it was obviously very raw. It was supposed to be seared with sesame but it was absolutely cold. I only ate the very few bits that had a slight sear. The flavor was good but I could not get past the raw issue. The snap peas that come with it had absolutely no flavor. It also came with brown rice which also had no flavor. The food was definitely the worst I've experienced. I will also mention the server never came to check on our table. He never refilled our drinks that were empty. We had to track him down to get our check. When I visited the restroom there was no AC and it was very humid and hot. There was no hand soap or paper towels. Overall, a terrible experience. We will definitely not be back.

Stopped in on Thursday, 6/25/26 to be exact, to pickup an order I placed online. My friend with me also placed an order online. They had her order but they just stared at me and yelled "YOU MUST PLACE ORDER ONLINE!" To which I said I did and they just turned around and without looking said we don't have it and you can't order at the counter. So I placed another order online, assuming they didn't receive it and I wasn't charged. Then they YELLED "NO INSIDE DINING" to my friend who opened her bag and ate a fry since we were waiting for my food now, which took 30 minutes! So we sat outside. Then after 30 minutes of waiting my order was ready and WRONG! Paid for cheese fries and didn't get anything but fries but after being yelled at twice I wasn't trying to have that conversation with the rudest staff I've ever encountered! The next day I had two charges for both orders. I've already contacted corporate. No customer should ever be treated this way! Worst part is we LOVE WINGSTOP! They have the best wings hands down & now we can't go back bc I'll never monetarily support a company that allows employees to treat customers in this manner! I'll also make sure I share this experience with everyone I know and on social media bc this is so completely unacceptable :/ I'm uploading the photos of my orders. The prices are different because my other friend decided she wanted cheese fries so i added hers to my 2nd order, which we didn't even get but paid for! Do better wingstop staff & management, I really don't want boycott this establishment
