Food tasted very fishy even the rice tasted very fishy as though it has been cross contaminated with seafood. I'm not sure why the fried rice would be so fishy tasting the sweet tea was absolutely awful, which I'm very picky about my tea so don't go off of the tea review. It was also very dirty inside. I've posted a picture of the dirt on the windows and the window seals it looks as though it has been there for quite some time I would not recommend this place. read more

Food selection was ok to good. The staff was underwhelming and was not sure of ingredients and did not convey our special requests on several sauces being put to the side. The restaurant was very empty which made it very awkward to talk and discuss the menu and our opinions on our order. The floor was very sticky throughout and the booths were outdated and damaged. This is unfortunately not as good as their counterparts. Hopefully the new changes will help tremendously when they happen. I may give them a second chance after that. read more

I've been here multiple times this year and every time I went after the first time I was giving it another try to redeem itself but they let me down every time. The sushi is the worse sushi I've ever had !! Just go to Kroger for sushi. The food is extremely salty. Just go else where. read more

It's alright, it's one of the better sushi places in Gainesville, but that's not saying much. As of now there's really no good sushi in town. read more

Absolutely loved this place! Highly recommend their lunch box we went for a late lunch & no crowd.

My husband and i have lived so close to this restaurant for 2.5, almost 3, years and for the first time today we decided to try it. When we were first got seated, we were greeted very quickly; when she took our drink orders she brought them out ***with the yum-yum sauce! We didnt even have to ask. Then we noticed how affordable their basic sushi rolls are (4.95-6.95). We ordered two rolls for appetizer and they come with a soy sauce glaze on top. I find that added touch unique and tasty. We then ordered the hibachi filet mignon (medium rare) and spicy pork bulgogi bento box. BOTH of these entrees are absolutely amazing and GREAT portions! The bulgogi is extremely flavorful and very authentic. The bento came with tempura shrimp, tempura battered veggies and a dumpling. The ginger dressing for the salad and miso soup were great classics. And The cook on the filet was amazing. The fried rice did need the extra flavor from the yum-yum sauce. The ambiance is great they have tvs playing a few sports games, a full bar, great pop music, and the lighting made it very romantic for our date night. Also, i love going to a place that looks amazing, and then you go into the restrooms and not only is a clean with cute decor, BUT IT SMELLS GOOD TOO! I will definitely be returning and telling all my friends. Sorry for the poor photos, we were excited to eat! read more

I ordered delivery through GrubHub and got the steak katsu lunch bento box and an order of gyoza. First of all, I have a few minor gripes. #1, there's no miso soup. That's pretty disappointing. #2, my tempura broccoli had a huge lump of dry tempura batter or cornstarch or something in it. #3, I asked in the notes for steamed rice and got fried. #4, I was excited to see a huge piece of what appeared to be sweet potato or kabocha squash in the tempura that turned out to be carrot as far as I could tell, which was still tasty, but a little disappointing since sweet potato and kabocha are my favorite tempura veggies. #5, the steak katsu was a little tough. HOWEVER... The FLAVOR of the steak katsu was genuinely one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten in my life, so never mind that it broke my temporary tooth filling out. It was absolutely, totally, 100% WORTH IT. I could eat this katsu every single day of my life and never even remotely get tired of it. The breading was not greasy but had wonderful flavor from the oil. The onions underneath were perfectly cooked. Not mushy, but not raw. Just perfect. And the sauce... my goodness, I could almost bathe in that sauce. I would eat that sauce on ice cream. I would eat that sauce with a spoon like soup. H-E-A-V-E-N-L-Y! The salad was super fresh and had not a single hint of brown anywhere, and the dressing was absolutely delicious. I usually do NOT like the ginger dressings that are opaque as though made with mayo, but this one was fabulous! The tempura, though having carrot instead of sweet potato or squash, was very tasty. It had one very tasty shrimp, one massive piece of carrot, one mushroom and one broccoli floret. Nice batter, not too thick or too thin. Everything was cooked perfectly. The California roll was good. Nothing exceptional, but a good roll nonetheless. Good flavor, and the rice was not dried out and hard like it can be at some restaurants. The gyoza (the bento box came with one, and I ordered an extra appetizer portion) was again, not exceptional, but solid. Had good flavor, nice crunch without being super hard. The fried rice was good, so I was not too terribly disappointed that I didn't get the steamed rice I asked for. Overall, I was very pleased with this experience and I will definitely order again. (Mostly for that amazing steak katsu!) read more

Love this restaurant. It is our "go to" place. Gary at the sushi bar is awesome. We only sit at the sushi bar, so can't comment on the wait staff. We don't need to. Gary is great!!! read more

I ordered beef onions and rice in a bowl. The rice was crunchy and the meat had an unfavorable after taste. Food used to be wonderful

Love the food here every time I order. I always get a sushi roll, my favorite is the Gainesville roll.

Came here to have a birthday dinner, showed up before 8:30 at the other location since the website said open till 10. Went to the other location. Also closed. UPDATE THE HOURS ON GOOGLE AND ONLINE. IF YOU CLOSE AT 8:30, STATE ONLINE YOU CLOSE AT 8:30. I've eaten here before and it was great, so it's sad I have to put up a bad review. But seriously. It's not that hard. read more

We have always loved the sushi at this restaurant and still do. The hibachi chicken was disappointing. I am pretty sure it was not chicken. The texture was hard and rubbery, unlike any chicken I have ever eaten. read more

Update : tried again ---Ordered sushi to go. I received my order and I started to eat my sushi. Upon eating the spider roll I noticed that it had a putrid smell and the taste was just so offputting. I started to pull apart the sushi and realized that the crab that was inside of it was rotten. I called the restaurant and tried to speak to the manager and she pretty much kept telling me that the crab was fine and that it was my taste that didn't like it. She did put a credit on my account for the sushi but the fact that she kept arguing with me and pretty much telling me that I was lying or that I was wrong it's just so unprofessional. read more

Mr Teriyaki - Hibachi Shrimp Lunch - Japanese Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

The food was subpar and came nowhere close to what was seen in the menu -- Contents for my meal were missing compared to the menu. The waitress seemed oblivious as to the contents of the menu. Drinks were subpar as well. The ambiance of the restaurant was above average, very nice for most comparable establishments. Price was way above what you received in quality -- quantity of food provided was acceptable . Overall, I would not recommend. read more

This was the worst Japanese restaurant I have ever been to. To start off there was a 45 minute wait for a table that didn't even have the hibachi experience. Next we got the worst waiter ever who spoke little to no English. The food took about 1 hour to come out. I got the sushi and sashimi combo which was 30$. The meal turned out to be hardly any food at all. Luckily my family shared with me from their hibachi. The filet mignon was not medium like my dad ordered, and it tasted like a frozen kids meal steak. Overall the food was very subpar, but for a 140$ meal for 5 people it was not worth it in the least! read more

Mr Teriyaki - Sushi and sashimi combo - Japanese Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

We had a really good experience here. Salad, miso soup, tempura vegetables, spider roll, bulgogi with fried rice, and hibachi steak and shrimp. Everything was delicious. The high point was the shrimp, cooked perfectly. If I had to guess, I would say the soup is premade. The server was attentive and food came out very quickly, and it was hot enough to burn the roof of your mouth. We liked it a lot, and we would be happy to go back. read more

Excellent meals...have eaten there twice now and each time was a wonderful delicious meal. Give the food and staff a great recommendation!! Give it a try...... read more

Very disappointed! Stir fried chicken was just 4 cubes of chicken and cooked rice. No veggies in the rice, no soy sauce and no yum yum sauce. Also ordered Crab Ragoon and for the price, there were only four and one wasn't completely cooked and no sweet and sour sauce. We've dined in with no issues but this was delivery which I won't do again! read more

I had gone here before for dinner and the food was great. I was so excited to go back.. So, I came back for lunch thinking I was going to have a great experience and good meal. The service was terrible and my food was cold and did not taste good at all. I told the server and she blamed the cooks.. anyways.. I was REALLY let down. I left the restaurant feeling disappointed and like I had wasted my money. I'm very hesitant to go back now. read more

Don't be in a hurry. Food is good. Service and kitchen time is awful. Almost an hour and a half lunch, other tables arrived and ate ahead of me, around 45 minutes after ordering to get food. Server apologized by saying an item on my plate had to be fried. Really! A place that serves tempura and that is their reasoning?!! This is the second time this has happened. I waited over a month hoping the service would be better.... guess I had better wait longer this time! read more

While eating at the sushi bar for lunch; I had an unexpected, unwelcome guest try to get into my food... a cockroach I was quite surprised as it was bright inside and the cockroach didn't seem to mind. A waitress saw me fighting it off my plate and did apologize and asked if I needed anything. Just the check, I paid and left to never come back again. read more

The sushi rolls are very small, and I've had better tasting sushi for way cheaper. Won't order from here again.

I have been three times now. Olivia was my server twice and she does an amazing job. I usually have sushi and it is always solid. The soft shell crab app is spot on. No one I have brought has had a bad meal. Pricing is very competitive with other local places. Overall a great experience . read more

I think this is a new restaurant, as I hadn't seen it before. We originally went to Senor fiestas but changed our mind once we saw the wait. We were sat quickly, ordered, and had our food in about 10/15 minutes! It was delicious on top of everything. Great rice, crispy HOT Gyoza, yummy soup. And good sushi. We can't wait to come back read more

I'm gonna be nice cuz it's a difficult time. Just wanted to go out for a nice dinner with my husband ... but it felt like a diner not a dinner. Just ok food, best thing is it will fill you up. But playing Elton John and watching Baseball was not our idea of a nice dinner experience. Shoot.... Nice people tho..., read more

Asked for spicy tuna and salmon rolls and the server looked at me like I was from Mars. Should have gone with my gut at that point but my son wanted sushi. Worst sushi I've ever had. Tasted like it came right out of Lake Lanier. Our Hibachi chef was very good and entertaining, and he cooked our food to order. However, the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. My scallops had an overly 'fishy' taste to them. This is the one on Dawsonville Hwy next to Texas Roadhouse. Won't be back. read more

One and done. Web site implied hibachi cooking at your table. That is only true in dawsonville only. Waiter assured us all was prepared fresh, just in kitchen instead of cook table. This was only true for protein. Veggies were soggy and clearly prepared at another time. Ordered fried rice; received steamed rice colored with soy sauce to resemble fried rice. Meat was ok. Don't believe the website, This is a quasi fast food restaurant read more

This places is bad. Service sucks it seems like your being rushed to order. The food was bad the fried rice was soggy that's the only option there's is or white steamed rice . And the sushi falls apart read more
