**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more I've been wanting to dine at Senzu Noodle Bar and Boba (which I will shorthand simply to Senzu for the remainder of this review) for the longest time, simply because it is relative to the Dragonball Series. Ever seen what happens to anyone who eats a senzu bean? Back to the review, I finally got the chance to go into Senzu, ready to dine on both noodles and boba. I mean it is in the name, right? Upon entering, the ambiance is a cross between modern restaurant and traditional ramen shop. I noticed the long wall bar where patrons would line up and enjoy their bowls of ramen during their lunch break, but I also recognize the tables for formal dine-in. As for ordering, they have the traditional face-to-face ordering along with a "contactless" kiosk. Senzu offers a decent range of appetizers, mains centered on noodle dishes such ramen, yakisoba, and udon, rice bowls, and boba. There are more to list, but the aforementioned is the primary bulk of the menu. From said menu, I ordered miso chicken ramen and Thai boba tea. The ramen was very flavorful, with a decent amount of ramen, add-ons, and chicken for $16.00. The Thai boba tea was good too at $4.00. Yes, I will say the price is a bit on the high side these days, but the price of food is going up in general. There is also a specials menu, made new every single day or week. One of the specials on said menu was unagi on rice, or grilled eel with tare glaze on rice. Since it was a special, it had the special price, too, at $20. Not complaining, but take note that specials definitely have special pricing. Was it good? It was, but definitely had better. As a matter of fact, I have had better of each of the food items I ordered. Still, you can't go wrong eating here at Senzu, unless you want to spend a little less. But you know what? I would not expect any less from the same people who own So-Ju Chicken and Bakudan Street Food. Ultimately, I will give Senzu a solid four-out-of-five star rating for this review. Definitely a good place to eat, and a new restaurant to enjoy such food. If they are consistent with their food and presentation (service included), I will grant them their fifth star for consistency.

Their rice is like creamy happiness and makes the sushi so much better. Their fish is fresh every time. We have tried almost every roll and have never been disappointed. They have other dishes as well. Whether it is Ramen or Katsu, you will love it. If you like spicy, try their Spicy beef ramen or the spicy kani salad. So good and if you're ailing, the ramen soup will nurse you back to health. The service is excellent. Everyone works hard as you will see them scurrying around to ensure everyone is served. The best part is the floor manager. Her name is Mama. She watches over the customers and staff with a watchful eye. She is so awesome. Older woman with the spunk of a teenager. The owner and family always have a smile for all customers too. Good people. MAKE RESERVATIONS!!! Do not just show up or you will likely have to wait. This is most nights, but especially in the weekends. And the food to value is excellent. No matter what form your sushi takes here, the quality is excellent and prices are good as well. Oh and for fun, they have sumo wrestling on the TV. Our favorite. We have no idea what's going on, but fun to watch while we eat.

Even simple rolls like the Alaskan roll (salmon, avocado, cucumber) and the Tuna Avocado roll really highlight the skill of the chefs behind the counter. The specialty rolls are amazing too, my favorite is the Samurai Jack. Their spicy garlic edamame is to die for and I always keep the leftover sauce to dip my sushi or add to other dishes. I also very much enjoy their Yasai Vegetable Udon soup. It's balanced and so comforting. One of the times I went there, the family's matriarch was so lovely and warm to me, she really made feel welcome and made my day. Looking forward to visiting the next time I'm in town.

But what really got me was the sushi... it was the freshest I've had anywhere in Florida since moving here five years ago.

We loved everything about it and already can't wait to go back!

I've only done takeout here so far so I can't comment on the dining in, but I can tell you this place fills up FAST by 4:45. My favorites have been the salmon sashimi and the crunchy salmon roll which was divine. The fresh ginger is some of the best I've tasted and they don't skimp on the wasabi, which I appreciate! Will continue to dine here when I've got a little extra in my paycheck.

The woman answering the phone was very pleasant when placing the order, and I received a warm, friendly greeting when I arrived for pickup. I ordered the Hot Mama Roll, which was easily my favorite of the evening. The combination of kani, eel, avocado, masago, and jalapeños wrapped in mamenori delivered the perfect balance of flavors, and I absolutely loved the jalapeño kick. If you're a fan of spicy sushi, this one is a must-try. I highly recommend pairing it with spicy mayo. We also tried the Rising Sun Roll, featuring cucumber, tempura kani, masago, and avocado, topped with tuna, salmon, and ebi with a touch of sriracha. Everything tasted very fresh, and the variety of seafood made for a flavorful roll. My only wish was for a little more heat. Clearly, I love my spice! Adding some jalapeño would have taken it to the next level for me. That said, it paired wonderfully with eel sauce, which added a nice touch of sweetness. Overall, Mangetsu delivered fresh, flavorful sushi and friendly service. A great option for takeout in downtown Melbourne, especially if you're looking for quality sushi later in the evening. We'll definitely be back.

It looks like it has the usual choices and I look forward to comparing to other Thai restaurants in the area.

So I was disappointed when I saw this. This is not what I expected and the woman said they were fried but not what I meant by fried ribs... The ribs aren't bad and the shrimp fried rice is plain. So unfortunately I won't be back and wouldn't recommend.

Just like Mexican restaurant reviews, generalized Asian restaurants have become a dime a dozen, and…read moremost do a decent to good job. Ergo, being such, for them, has become the "new average." As for Ruby Asian Taste, I have never eaten here before and was suggested to this restaurant from the ladies I spend lunchtime with after church on Sundays. So, was it good? Well... it was passably good, but a las, it generally fits the "dime a dozen" category of Asian restaurants, even though it tries to be everything, too. Located in the Publix Plaxa just south of Melbourne High School, Ruby Asian Taste (which I will shorthand to Ruby's for the remainder of this review) is marketed as having every Asian food available. What that means is they have more than one Asian cuisine, including Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Korean. As a matter of fact, they had three different menus, loaded with options. Upon entering the restaurant, it looked like your typical walk-in New York Style Chinese food restaurant is often seen next to a Publix here in Florida. Simple tables, simple chairs, no fancy wait service, etc. At least everything was clean. I ordered three different food options, primarily Japanese. I got the takoyaki and kaaragi. The former, being fried dough balls with a piece of octopus inside, and the latter, being Japanese-style fried chicken, were both good, but they were nothing extraordinary. My church lady friends ordered chicken and mixed veggies with white rice and crab rangoon. They were good, but nothing extraordinary either. On a sidenote: the men's restroom was decent. It is clean and simple but needs an upgrade. You can do your business without having to be disgusted. Ultimately, Ruby's is okay. It was not my first choice, but a choice that I would consider if need be. My suggestion is Ruby's simplify their menu. I think having so many options stretches them thin a bit and thus their food would be average. Ruby's can still be an everything Asian restaurant, but maybe limit some of the options.
