    Hawaii 5-0 Roll Eel Twister Roll

    My boyfriend took us here for date night and I'm still thinking about the delicious meal we had. He, is more of a "foodie" than I am. So the nigiri we ordered had me trying a lot of things I had never had. Being from the west coast, I didn't have high hopes for good sushi... but was pleasantly surprised! The Walu butterfish was excellent along with the octopus and yellowtail. The lamb was amazing and we enjoyed the banana foster along with the presentation. Great service was top notch, we will be back again and again!

    Th3 ambience is lovely - well decorated, spacious and yet cozy at the same time. I went with a group for dinner and so.was able to sample a wide variety of dishes. Unfortunately, I wasn't really wowed by the food. Everything was OK, but nothing was really a standout. I would go back again so.it wasn't bad. Just underwhelming. The waitstaff was prompt and attentive.

    Had a wonderful lunch here. The restaurant is very well lit and quite nice. Even have this cool mirror which takes a professional picture of you and texts it to you after. Great way to remember your time here. Food was amazing and the service was even better. Our server Grace was very accommodating. Was surprised she boxed up our leftovers. I feel like restaurants don't do that anymore.

    Hey bestie, you need to check this place out! The ambiance is amazing! I was on a work lunch or I would have taken photos of everything, from the fish pond at the front, bright white interior, tons of sunlight, everything was super clean, to the very nice bathrooms. Great date spot or lunch spot either way! We were recommended to get crab rangoon and the server told us they have the best rangoons in Springfield. They were very good, sitting in a flavorful sauce, that I could have spooned off the plate into my mouth, but I held back. My colleague was recommended the Mandarin Chicken, he was very happy with his decision. I ordered the tuna poke bowl, it was a lot like a sushi roll, deconstructed. It was very good, pleasing to the eye, I would totally order it again, but there were so many things I'd love to try on the menu!

    We had a corporate function with approximately 20 people during the holidays. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. The staff went out of their way to provide outstanding service to our group. We will definitely return in the future.

    I was hungry for a ramen bowl and remembered that I tried Karai Ramen some years back. I had a 5…read morestar experience then and it was a 5 star experience again. I ordered the Tonkatsu fried pork cutlet thinking it was like traditional ramen with a meat in broth with noodles. This was not that . When it came, it was a tray with steamed rice, miso soup and a beautifully presented Japanese version of a German schnitzel!! I was surprised and after the first bite of the tender, crispy pork, I was sold. It was delicious. It's a nice little restaurant with outstanding service and pleasant atmosphere. This continues to be a repeater for me.

The lighting is dim and intimate and there was music playing at just the right volume. The restaurant was full however I received kind, prompt, and attentive service. I was dining alone, so I decided to sit at the bar which had plenty of available stools. The bartender was friendly and was able to answer my questions about the menu selections. Now for the food.... It was outstanding! I had the Chashu Bun as an appetizer and the Cheeky Ramen as my main. They were both off the chart tasty. Since I was sitting at the bar which is adjacent to the sushi chef station and right outside the kitchen, I saw many delicious looking plates go out. If I lived in Springfield, MO, I would be a regular. Visit this restaurant. You won't regret it!

    This was my first time visiting Springfield, and I didn't expect to find a place like this…read more The restaurant has a really fun Japanese anime vibe, with Totoro decor and even lucky cat (maneki-neko) touches throughout, which I absolutely loved. It honestly felt like the owner might be Japanese or Chinese, because the whole atmosphere was thoughtfully done and very authentic. The service staff were all friendly and welcoming, and overall the dining experience was great. We did have a delay with one of our dishes (waited over 30 minutes), but the manager noticed the issue right away, took responsibility, and handled it really well. They even offered us complimentary spring rolls, which I really appreciated. That kind of attentiveness and care makes a big difference. The food was solid and enjoyable--of course, you can't compare it to bigger cities, but for Springfield, this is definitely a great find. They also have a robot that helps deliver food, which was such a fun and unique touch. I'm here for work, traveling from out of state, and we actually ended up coming back four days in a row--which probably says everything. You can really tell the owner put a lot of heart into this place--from the decor to the overall experience. I appreciate being able to enjoy a different culture like this, especially in a smaller city. Springfield has given me a really great impression and some wonderful memories. Would definitely recommend

    I was the only person in my party and since moving to the new building it takes them soooooo long…read moreto even take a drink order, this has happened repeatedly. I see staff talking and hardly any tables occupied. I've been going here for years and I used to love this place but now it's just not worth the wait and money. That's my only problem with this place 3 tables taken in the whole place and I get my water after waiting 30 minutes after being seated, and I'm the last to be helped after bigger parties who arrived after me. When I come with 2 other people the waiters are on top of it with service but if it's me alone I hardly even see a waiter. They're chasing tippssss imo. This is just a personal opinion that doesn't contribute to my stars because I know some people find it really cool but the robot is creepy and what if someone needs to ask something when the drinks come? Can't ask a robot and then they have to wait 20+ minutes for a waiter to come by.
