    We've been to this place several times since my son started going to Virginia Tech. It's his favorite place to go when we visit. We love getting the pick three sushi for lunch and the steamed shumai are my absolute favorite. We live in Southern California and I would say the sushi here is really solid. The service is great as well and so are the prices! Definitely recommend for a quick lunch or a large dinner party. Works for everything.

    Seaweed Salad
    Lyn L.

    Wanted to try this place out since it was close to my hotel. Helpers gave them nice ratings so it was a win for me. Took my fun nephew and his roommates out for dinner. Parking in front very convenient. Menu had some great options from hibachi, sushi to various Asian meals. I started with a small seaweed salad. Interesting concept adding iceberg lettuce as a foundation for this salad. Seaweed was fresh and I could have done without the iceberg. The tempura meal was hefty. Batter a bit thick but it was fresh fried. Lots of veggies and seafood. Came with either white or fried rice. Others in my group had sushi that looked delicious and well worth the prices. Service was great! We had an awesome server who was very accommodating. Lots of large tables and the ambiance was open and welcoming. Looks like they do lots of takeout too.

    The food was exquisite and delicious. Amazing, considerate server and clean dining area.

    What Yellowtail sashimi SHOULD look like.

    We went to the new location for sushi. They have "Ami Ebi" on the menu (same as the original location), so we ordered it. I woke up violently ill and have been very, very sick all day. The shrimp was not correct at all, large, white and chewy, not thin, glassy and melt in your mouth. Beware!!

    SO tasty! The best sushi in Blacksburg. The food did not take long at all and the service was great.

    Crab rangoon
    MH N.

    Celebrated my friend's birthday here with a large group (8 people) on a relatively busy Saturday night around 7:30 PM ish. I'll start with the good - the mixed drinks were pretty good and affordable! After that, things start to get a like murky... For an appetizer, I shared crab rangoons. They didn't seem to have enough cream cheese in them... For dinner, I ordered three rolls - the Philadelphia roll, the unagi (eel) roll, and The Big Easy (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, scallions, wasabi, and flying fish roe). The unagi roll was the best. It was simple, no frills. The Big Easy was very bland. I couldn't tell the difference in any of the fish flavors, and the wasabi that was incorporated in the roll really overpowered everything. Lastly, the Philadelphia roll was abysmal. The smoked salmon was not fresh, at all. I feel like they used the smoked salmon that you would eat a lox bagel with... except it was very stale and rubbery. It was also extremely salty. Apart from dinner, the service was friendly, but very slow. Usually, I don't mind being patient and waiting, but we waited over an hour to have just the appetizers come around. I tried some of my friend's vegetable tempora, so that was good. I'm not from the area, but even if I were, I don't think I would come back. I hate leaving bad reviews, but I was pretty disappointed that night. I'm not a big sushi expert, but I felt like Kroger sushi would've sufficed.

    Hokie Roll

    OMG we are in heaven!! We have found a true Sushi restaurant that truly deserves some commentary! For context we ordered take out and ate in our truck since we were with our dogs We ordered a Lovers Boat & Jalapeño (Yellowtail) Hamachi appetizer, which also came with a salad and soup. We switched out the Green Dragon roll with the Big Easy Roll since we were not eel fans. Let me tell you, this was good! So much so we have rated it one of the top 10 Sushi restaurants we have ever been too. With that said, we have eaten in Tokyo at Sushi restaurants that are some of the best in the world! The cut of the sushi was thick and meaty, the Tuna was dark and the cut was smooth. The rolls were not think on the rice side so you could actually taste the fish! Plus the Nigiri (Sushi) wasn't a huge rice ball, but rather a nice cut of fish on a small pad of rice, it was almost like thin sashimi and well balanced. The Jalapeño (Yellowtail) Hamachi appetizer had a nice thick Yellowtail with knife marks across on a cucumber bed. This makes my mouth water writing this because it was the "Best" version of this appetizer I have ever had and we get it EVERYWHERE we go! The Hokie Roll was delicious! A wonderful texture and favors, and a roll that you can still tasted the meat, perfectly balanced! The Big Easy Roll was simple but very tasteful with a mixture of meats. My wife and I ate most of the entire boat without soy, and we are soy fans but it was just simply that good! As you can tell, I found my new favorite restaurant because they know how to treat thier patrons with excellent quality fish! I can't wait to experience it actually in the restaurant

    Black Dragon Roll(8)
    Sabrina K.

    The sushi here was not good. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly, but the sushi was honestly a big disappointment. For the sushi deluxe, you get 6 "chefs choice" nigiri along with 6 slice tuna roll with 4 pieces of California roll and if you want to sub the California roll for something else it incurs an extra charge. The quality of the sushi and flavor was just not there. The black dragon roll wasn't terrible but the tempura had a little bit too much batter and the eel did not have much flavor to it. The black dragon roll had to be drowned in wasabi with eel and soy sauce to get any kind of flavor. The spicy tuna roll was a scary color, and was very bland. The volcano roll was too saucy and not enough salmon. Overall the sushi here was very bland. The miso soup that was included with the sushi deluxe was good but the salad that came with it wasn't the best as I felt the dressing lacked as much of a ginger flavor as I am used to. Ambiance was definitely a college town sushi place vibe, the aux was kinda weird they played Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney along with Baby by Justin Bieber.... it was odd

    Shrimp Yakisoba with jalepinos - I asked them to make it spicy with the peppers, and it was awesome!

    Good Yakisoba place to me! The waitress there was ok-ish. Want to try their fried items the next time and update my review.
