Service was phenomenal -- even though my friend and I had one primary waitress, it seems that all the staff work together to keep the momentum going (ie the one who processed our payment was a different woman than who took our orders). I like that type of environment, where all staff are aware of customer needs and answer questions etc. Drinks: everything was exceptional! The cocktails were delicious! The shots of flavor infused soju were amazing! The fermented rice beer was absolutely worth trying! I would order any and all bevvies again! Now to the food! The best for me was the house fries with bulgogi! I was hesitant to order initially but so glad we did! The fries were exceptionally crispy and delicious -- haven't had amazing fries in a LONG time until now! The bulgogi complimented the fries well and didn't affect the texture of the fries. Well done!! The Mac and Chi was ooey, gooey, and delicious -- personal preference I would've liked more kimchi and next time I will also add bulgogi! Very nice comfort dish! The Trust Me caught my eye the first time reading the menu! I have yet to try a burger with PB and jelly so this was a first in that regard. The bread was soft yet crunchy and delicious. The peanut butter was a nice thin layer. I liked that I could add my own amount of jam from the dish. Flavors were unusually well-complimented! Unfortunately, I think the kimchi let me down on this one.. It was a little difficult to bite through with many layers of kimchi (my bite didn't always 'cut' through the kimchi and therefore I got multiple large pieces of kimchi in a few bites). I still love this idea and concept! Juche: might you consider adding a thin, smash burger-sized patty (hamburger, pork, sausage, or combo) to this and provide a generous portion of kimchi to the top (and an egg!)? I think that would be an impressive dish -- like a Korean take on a Patty Melt. Just an idea THANK YOU JUCHE for a great dining experience

The caterpillar roll is an eel and avocado roll, and it had a generous portion of rice. The maki was also quite hearty with more salmon than I expected. Each piece of sushi was quite big - I think it would've been easier to eat if it was sliced into smaller pieces. My colleague opted for a tempura bowl and the portion was HUGE. I was expecting 5-6 pieces of tempura but it was a whole plate! I tried a mocktail but the flavors didn't stick out to me much. If I were to go again, I'd probably opt for hot green tea. Service was great -- folks checked in on us enough without lingering or interrupting often.

I got my orders in within 5 minutes and received my dishes within another 5 minutes ( I felt due to it not being busy when I arrived). I took some photos of my dishes before I consumed them for my review and as I waited patiently for my to-go orders and to pay my tab. Prices were decent as well, ladies' restroom looked ordinary just like the original restroom from the previous owners. The atmosphere was busy and casual, music was jivy, parking was shared with other small businesses. I spent $59 plus tips (round up). Details: I felt that the eggrolls were a little more on the expensive end for just 4 small/medium sized eggrolls, but that's ok since it was my first time here so I just had to try an appetizer to start off with. Their eggroll sauce as light and savory just as expected with a hint of spice/kick to it. I ordered 4 eggrolls for appetizer, the Special pho with grilled pork slices, chicken lo mein and pork bbq banh mi to-go. Pho broth was sweet and savory (I had originally asked for some sugar to compliment the broth as I always do wherever I go and whenever I order pho soup but ended up not needing it at the end). If you're the type of individual that prefers sweet and savory pho broth then this is the place for you! All I ended up adding to my pho broth for some complimentary flavor was a little sriracha sauce and one small spoonful of chili in oil, and squeezed a sliced of lime along with all the other garnishes like basil, and bean sprouts I opted out the 2 slices of jalapenos. I finished my Pho but couldn't finish my 4 eggrolls (only consumed 2 out of 4). I received my to-go orders and paid and went home. I tasted the chicken lo mein and took 2 bites of my banh mi at home. The lo mein noodles were clumped together and chewy with no flavor but a hint of spice from what looks like black pepper seasoning? As for the banh mi it was good not too extraordinary but more on the saltier end for me. Would I recommend this restaurant? sure only if you're not on a budget, and willing to splurge. Would I go back to try other dishes? maybe only when it's a special occasion for me/once in a blue moon. Would I invite my friends and family to this restaurant for their first time? It depends on their taste buds and budget. I enjoy supporting new and small businesses and I will continue to do so. Until next time Pho An keep up with the tasteful flavors and great guest services!

I'm glad I finally tried Oyama Sushi, an overall wonderful experience!…read more I visited at lunch, which was surprisingly quiet for dine-in. Takeout, however, stayed nonstop busy with steady orders and delivery pickups. That seemed like a great sign. I was surprised by the spacious interior as it appeared smaller from the outside. There are ample tables and booths for any group size, and the atmosphere is ideal for a quiet, calming meal. Our server was polite and attentive, taking our order soon after seating us and delivering everything promptly. We ordered: - Japanese Shumai: served hot, with a crispy exterior and juicy interior, these were such a good bite! I could've eaten 20! Pro tip: I recommend ordering two servings if you're considering this app. - Chicken Fried Rice: a generous portion served with house-made yum yum sauce, complemented our sushi rolls perfectly. - Royal Dragon Roll: King crab, shrimp tempura and cream cheese topped with eel, avocado, spicy mayo & eel sauce. - Firecracker Roll: Shrimp tempura, snow crab, avocado topped with spicy tuna, spicy sriracha mayo. The sushi rolls were exceptional--tightly packed, well held together, and flavorful! Overall, the meal was delicious and satisfying without being overly heavy. We had a great lunch and will return to try more rolls. It's great to have another quality, family-friendly sushi option in the area.

Rocco truly has an amazing happy hour. I could not believe how reasonably priced our food was. Everything we ordered tasted good and in some places excellent. I really liked the crispy Japanese pancake. The tofu we had was prepared well, but the sauce itself was a little too thin. Our sushi roll was tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary. My biggest complaint with the menu is that it's hard to find something that doesn't have either tempura shrimp or cream cheese in it. I will admit I looked primarily at the happy hour menu and not the larger ones so there may have been more selections. Overall, great food. Reasonable prize. And an excellent location.
