    Chicken and shrimp
    Gregory B.

    Something is missing. I can't quite put my finger on it. The flavor is absent and when you try to add the yum yum sauce to compensate, it's a moot point because the yum yum sauce has way too much mayo. I don't want to be too critical because criticism can be rough. It's tough because the chef seems like he loves his job because he was singing songs (in what sounded like arabic?) behind the counter. More power to him. I'm just saying... think more "Top Chef" and less "American Idol". I'll spend the rest of the review saying that the place is clean, the customer service was friendly, my soda was good, and the actual cook of the food was decent. A simple purchase of some salt... maybe a little sugar, and and this place could jump two stars.

    The underwhelming chicken bento box...best part? The dumplings
    N3wcovenant ..

    I had high hopes because the images of their chicken bento box looked appetizing...especially after missing breakfast. I ordered fried rice with my chicken bento box that came with a salad, 3 dumplings and 4 California rolls. The best parts of my meal were the sides. I expected a ginger based salad dressing but the type used was more oily like a vinaigrette but tasty. The dumplings were awesome and the rolls were as expected. I did not like they wasabi...quite mediocre and the pickled ginger slices were lacking and did not have much of a flavor. The chicken terayki was not great...I've had better at the mall to be honest. The fried rice unfortunately still resembled plain white rice in some parts. If I ever return here it would be for the dumplings. And perhaps the shrimp tempura.

The layout is interesting -- there's an upstairs when you walk in, but the sushi bar and a good bit of seating are downstairs. The menu is pretty straightforward with a mix of hand rolls, appetizers, specialty rolls, nigiri/sashimi, and traditional rolls. They also have a few solid combo deals, though I usually prefer trying a variety of items instead. Service was quick, which is always appreciated at a sushi spot. We ordered a few specialty rolls, two traditional rolls, and a couple orders of sashimi, all served together on one platter. The rolls were a great size -- filling without being overly large. The sashimi was fresh, and the traditional rolls really balanced out the meal nicely. The flounder and tuna sashimi were both excellent, and the California roll made with real crab was simple, fresh, and really satisfying. The total came out somewhere in the $70 range, so after tip and splitting it between two people, it was about $40 each to try multiple rolls and sashimi. Definitely fair pricing for the quality and amount of food. This spot had been on my list for a while, so I'm glad I finally made it over. I'd recommend checking out the menu beforehand so you can go in with a game plan and try the items that stand out most to you.

They also have a bar with $5 specials all day, every day--which is a huge plus. The staff are always incredibly friendly and attentive, providing prompt service that makes the experience even better. If you're not in the mood for sushi, the ramen is a must-try--rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The wings also stand out with a very authentic taste that you don't find just anywhere.

Against my better judgment, i shouldn't have ordered the Hawaii Roll -- the mango inside the roll gave me a bit of pause with consistency issue. Additionally, the rice on the sushi seemed gelatinous, like it was cooked too long. I didn't like it. The Tempura Roll was your standard fare. Lastly, while I love sashimi, the tuna offered with the chef's sampler was just ok. The star was the salmon -- buttery and smooth. Service was fine. We sat at the bar. Again, I wouldn't visit again, but try it for yourself. Cheers!

Honestly, I was a little hesitant in trying this place out, because, you know, sushi at the mall? However, the hubs wanted to give them a try, so we went for it. We ordered: +Spicy Tuna Roll - this was described as diced sashimi-grade tuan with a spicy sauce; unfortunately, the tuna wasn't 'raw' and it tasted like canned tuna; rice was a bit more on the wet side +the Charo Burrito - this was filled with crab (imitation crab) and shrimp; this was a deep-fried 'sushi roll', and the flavor was actually pretty good; however, didn't know that cilantro was one of the ingredients they would add in there, so it totally ruined it for me; the sauce drizzles on top were great; this could have been more piping hot, as it was deep-fried, but I'm thinking it was a quick dip Staff were very friendly and kind. There's a sign that says that this place is halal. There seems to be many who get their items to go.
