I came here for brunch on Saturday. We ordered a lot of different things. When I come to Beacon, I…read morealways walk past this place and I have always wanted to try it. We ordered the scallion pancakes, gyoza dumplings, wontons soup and for na entree the general tso chicken, sushi and sashimi and California roll. So let's start with the appetizers they were good. I enjoyed the gyoza dumplings and the scallion pancakes. The wonton soup was ok. The general tso chicken was overly sweet; usually general tso chicken has a nice balance of sweet and spicy. I asked for it to be crispy but the texture was a bit off; it has too much batter. My niece ordered the sushi sashimi and her salmon was oily and slimy; I think. I did not eat it but she didn't eat it neither. When we told the waitress she was very nice and took off that item from the bill. The service was great and the appetizers were good. I am not sure if I would return . The place is nice and clean; it was warm. There were people there so it could have been an off day for them or what we ordered.

First time here! Awesome!…read more Food/Drink: Very tasty, very well cooked, very well plated. Full sushi/sashimi menu. Appetizers, drinks, and deserts. Sushi: nice fat rolls, did not skimp. Fresh ingredients, plenty of flavor. Dinning Area: Pretty regular sized, open, quiet. Prices: Relatively cheap. Sushi 3 rolls, miso soup, and bottle of Pepsi $21! Parking: street parking meh. Bathrooms: Bathrooms were clean and medium in size. Atmosphere: During the weekday lunch rush, pretty packed, but mostly takeout. Staff/Attendants: standard Asian place fast taking, generic comments, in and out in 5 minutes! I'll go back because it's actually pretty damn good! 8/10

This is a fantastic mom and pop with great food and service. My only gripe is that I can ask for…read morefood as hot as they can serve, and they always still give me the same amount of heat as I would've received had I not made the request at all. But it's not a big gripe because the food is always well seasoned even if it isn't peppery. This is the only restaurant I can think of where I've taken many guests and every one of them said it was one of their favorites. I love this spot. They accept cards but appreciate cash.

Great service and friendly staff at this Sri Lankan restaurant…read more The manager/owner used to be a chef at the UN after traveling the world for various stints after leaving Sri Lanka at age 25. He will fill you with his wealth of knowledge of Sri Lankan food as well as how his food is pure and wholesome. Food was very good. I had Sri Lankan rice entree specialty dish. Except for the the shrimp tasting like dried shrimp - which I hate with a passion the rest of the dish was pretty good. No complaints from my other guests who enjoyed their meals. The dessert was great. They have both vegetarian (including goat, beef, pork, shrimp, squid, and chicken) and non-vegetarian options. It fell short of five stars for two reasons: 1. the dried shrimp or dried fish taste in the dish (shimp, calamari, and chicken); and 2. the moderately high prices (I can only compare to prices at Indian restaurants in the city, and what people are typically paying for the same portion size at casual sit down restaurants) Since we don't frequent this location often it is a treat to stop by every once in awhile and introduce my friends to it. If you are on a budget and consume large volumes of food to be full, this is most likely a one off or a place you may want to skip. Otherwise, enjoy it. On premise parking lot and seems ADA compliant. It looks like it is in a house, but inside it is comfortable and casual. It appears there is allot more local customers than visitors from out of town. The interior plays tourist information on Sri Lanka while the interior is also decorated in culturally appropriate ascents. We were there on a Saturday for dinner and the space was fairly empty - perhaps two other tables occupied. It is in sort of a remote area outside the main drag of Beacon most are familiar with (not within reasonable walking distance). It's worth a try, especially if you are interested in healthier forms of food (ingredients).
