The place was very clean and well kept, and fairly large for a sushi place. Both of the things I ordered were delicious. My coworkers were also very happy with their orders. My only complaint is that you have to grab all of your utensils and condiments at a separate station which we didn't know, so we almost walked out without chopsticks! Overall, I would definitely recommend!

Love this place! It started out as a frequent boba stop for me but I finally got to try their food…read moreand I'm so so impressed! First off all, anyone who has ever lived in Arlington knows that this used to be Grand Asian (Chinese Food). This restaurant is close to Jacksonville University. I remember really enjoying the Chinese food then and I'm glad this restaurant features Asian Fusion options which includes Chinese food favorites. I appreciate that this new restaurant doesn't take away the options available in this area, it just adds on to the existing familiar fare. Merrill Road has its fair share of Chinese food places but I love how there's much more variety here in one location. DRINKS Boba - while I typically omit boba from the milk tea and slush drinks now (avoiding the extra calories), their boba is actually made quite well. It's well cooked, not too hard or extra squishy. Their taro slush is perfect. I tried the Kumquat with lemon as well and it's such a great alternative to plain lemonade on a hot summer day. This comes with lychee and I added popping boba (different from regular boba) which adds another layer of citrus burst in my taste buds. Drinks featured in the photo include: Mango sweet dew, strawberry, Thai tea and jasmine green tea. I was NOT a fan of the Thai tea. It tasted a bit watered down. (I will attempt to order Thai tea at a later date because I cannot let it affect this review of otherwise amazing drinks and food) FOOD: Poke I ordered a poke salad with spicy salmon x2, marinated tuna. Delicious! The poke bowl size is very generous. Price depends on how much protein you get but pretty much unlimited toppings until you get to the avocado and crunchy toppings (max 3). Sauce: teriyaki, spicy mayo and eel sauce. Yum! Ramen (Tonkatsu) This was so good! Presentation threw me off. I later realized that we were given the "to-go" bowl of ramen so everything was not submerged. Makes sense why it looked dry at first. Since we were eating in the restaurant I would have loved to see a real ramen bowl with real chopsticks but these details are insignificant. The ramen broth is so rich in flavor. The tonkatsu pork hit the spot and was well made! The noodles, once soaked in the broth, had a nice smooth texture and absorbed so much good flavor. Pictured but did not try (was told it was good) include Takoyaki (octopus :)) Seating: there's plenty of it! The cushioned seats were much appreciated. Anyone with back pain would definitely appreciate longer conversations & hanging out without feeling like their spine is locking up. Other features: Kiosk for self check out. I really like this!

I've been thinking about this food since Yelp's Asian Street Fest. Thankfully, their schedule had…read morethem roaming close to home and I planned my dinner around it. The kahlua pork was flavorful and frankly better than my luau experience in Hawaii last year. Those luaus tend to revolve around the spectacle vs. the food but nonetheless, I'm telling you now, this is worth the drive from one side of Jacksonville to the other!! I didn't want to bother them to find out any backstory as they were way too busy but the kitchen looked like aunties and mom's making the magic happen. Portion and value matches flavor and that speaks volumes. I grabbed a spam musubi as well and it definitely hit all the notes! Their mac salad stays true to their theme with its creamy texture. This is a top 3 food truck without a doubt.

We had this truck come out before and we didn't really like the mac salad so this time we opted for…read morethe bowls, which looks like it's the same thing but without the mac and much cheaper. The meat is very good, we split an order of the shrimp and the ribs. The shrimp is definitely my favorite, and I especially like the sauce. I really wish the bowls came with more sauce though, it's kind of only coated on the meat and so you get a lot of bites of just plain rice. For reference, it was 5 medium shrimp, I'd say about a tablespoon of sauce, and two scoops of plain white rice. The sauce is so good though, maybe I'll just ask for a side of that if they come back. I do like that they take the extra time to really give it a nice presentation, and they have noticably sturdy container bowls which would be convenient for leftovers (if I actually left any). We always have to get the spam musubi though, it's a nice little treat and kind of iconic for the experience.

The food Umami serves reminds me of the Blazn Azn food truck and come to find out, Gus, the owner of Umami, used to own Blazn Azn. Friendly service. I wonder if they can have cucumber salad as a side? Nevertheless, I'm a fan of Umami and I hope they stop by Metro Square Office Park for lunch again!

Hibachi Hiro was in my neighborhood this week so I gave them a shot. My first experience was good…read more I ordered the steak and shrimp ramen as I was told this is the most popular item. It was a large portion enough for dinner and lunch the next day. All of the ingredients for fresh including the basil and mushrooms. The strip steak was good and the shrimp were plump and juicy. They gave me two sauces with the meal. One sauce was brown and the other red. I honestly was not sure what the brown sauce was but I added some to my bowl. The red sauce was spicy and I added a little bit to my bowl. Both sauces enhanced the flavor of the ramen. Next time I plan to order from the hibachi menu. I like the fact that you have options with this food truck. I will definitely be checking them out again.

Well, unfortunately it did not live up to its name because instead of hiro, it was more like a zero. We all ordered a shrimp and steak Hibachi meal, which comes with 4-5 shrimp, about 5-6 pieces of steak, fried or steamed rice, vegetables, clear soup and 2 sauces (yum yum and ginger). I will say it was a decent amount of food for the price. Surprisingly, the clear soup was the best part of the meal! It was full of flavor and had those yummy little crunchies floating around. It was so good I wish I would have saved it for last to make up for the rest of the meal. The steak was cooked medium and was very tender. The problem was it had no flavor! There was no seasoning on it at all, not even salt. The shrimp were okay. They didn't taste very fresh and again had no seasoning. The veggies were so blah. I always look forward to the Hibachi vegetables, but these were a let down. No salt or seasoning at all. The fried rice was boring and quite peppery. Thank god for yum yum sauce and soy sauce because that's what saved this meal. Everything needed to be dunked or drizzled in sauce. Maybe we caught them on an off night and they didn't remember to bring the salt shaker, but this meal was way too expensive to trust they'd make it better next time around. My husband's review, "this is one and done. Never again."

We decided to come here the other day on a whim since the sushi places around us were closed (oddly for a Tuesday). The ambience still feels nice! The food is good but the prices have increased since we've last been. I don't blame them since inflation and all. The service could be better. The waitress that we had was polite and sweet, but a little slow on getting our checks, checking us out, and checking up on us at times. The man who checked up on us and refilled our drinks was the real MVP. Here's what we had: Shrimp tempura roll: 7/10- It was good! I wanted to add cream cheese but they charge $1 to add cream cheese! That's so pricey! for a smidge of cream cheese! Now you might think $1 is nothing but I can literally buy a block of cream cheese for $2.50 at the store. No biggie, the roll was still pretty decent. I didn't like that it wasn't cut all the way so some of the rolls stuck to each other. So I was struggling to pull the rolls apart. It had cucumber in it but the breading was thicker than the shrimp. Lobster tempura roll: 9/10 - I enjoyed this roll! It was so good! The lobster pieces were a really good size for the price! I wanted to add daikon to the roll but again, they wanted to charge me to swap out an ingredient. I opted out of it so I had it how it was. I think it had kani salad in it, lobster tempura, avocado, masago, and cucumber. It was a good size but only had 6 pieces of it. Wished they must made it the standard 8 pieces for the roll but regardless, I enjoyed this roll. Chirashi: 8/10 - my husband had this and he loved it! It had an assortment of raw fish and some cooked items like tamago (egg) and imitation crab on top of a bed of rice and some daikon radishes on the side. The portion was good for the amount of food that you get. You also get a soup and salad with this. The salad was just pieces of ice berg lettuce drowned in ginger dressing (you can choose ranch instead if you want). The salad looked like soup to be honest with the amount of dressing on it. The miso soup was okay from what my husband said. Cheese wontons/rangoons: 5/10 - I love eating cheese rangoons and these were a disappointment. They were not perfectly golden and crispy, but a little bit pale for my liking and tasted like nothing. There was a good amount of filling and imitation crab inside but it was nothing special. The chili sauce made it a little better but I wouldn't get this again. Overall, I would probably stop by again if I was in the area but not go out of my way. The food is good, but some items are hits or misses on the portion size and price point.
