Shrimp fried rice w/ vegetables
Jasmine S.

The food was so flavorful. I was recommended this restaurant by a friend and decided to try it. I wasn't disappointed at all! The service was great and fast. It's also in a great area to dine in or carry out!

Sushi delux (10pieces sushi and spicy tuna roll) Mr salmon roll Volcano roll
Ally H.

It is definitely cheap. Total order for 3 rolls, 10 nigiri, 2 soups, and a salad was $45. The salad and the soup was the best part of the meal. And $3.75 for a huge salad was awesome (other places charge $5+ for half the size) and ginger dressing was good. Miso soup was delicious and a large size (you can split one for 2 people). Now the sushi was not horrible, just extremely bland. Even the "hot and spicy" rolls had no flavor. The spicy tuna roll has zero flavor. The Mr. salmon roll was the best of the 3, but definitely not worth almost $12. I don't think I would be back for their sushi.

Just mouth watering, best sushi in town. The place looks very simple but makes up on the quality of the food

Hibachi steak and shrimp
Semaria S.

Always prompt service. Food is prepared just the way its ordered. Ingredients are fresh. Pricing is fabulous. They are available on Uber Eats as well.

Came here for lunch with a coworker (July 16) and the food was great! I ordered the Hibachi Chicken and Shrimp lunch and it came with fried rice, vegetables, clear soup, and a simple salad. The portion for lunch was big enough for me to have leftovers and if you eat in the Yum Yum sauce is unlimited! I will definitely come back to try their sushi.

So I saw this place had a 10% discount for FedEx employees, which is basically tax back, so one Friday lunchtime, a group of us decided to go try it out. I got the Tempura platter (6 generous pieces) which was pretty decent and the Winchester Roll and agreed with my colleague's assessment who got the same roll, that the cream cheese should have been whipped or mixed with some sort of chives because as it was now, the cream cheese overwhelmed the rest of the roll. One of my colleagues who got the Chicken Hibachi said the meat was cold and the soup was weak tasting and not much flavor to it. Another colleague who got the Tempura Combo roll, said that the rolls were decent (the sweet potato roll with cucumber and avocado was the best of the bunch) but the accompanying miso was just average taste - no oomph to it. The fourth and final diner was also disappointed in both his sushi rolls that he had ordered. For him, the namesake Sumo roll had nothing outstanding flavor-wise (and especially for something which is a namesake sushi roll, he was expecting it be something special) and then the Winchester Roll (misspelled on the menu) had too much cream cheese, as I mentioned previously. Overall service was nice, but based on the food, not sure any of us would return. Yelp 157/2017

This is the only drink machine. No ice for your tea.
Brian L.

Wow! The sushi here had a little something that I wasn't expecting, especially for a small place. Quality was in line with the big, fancy places, if not a little bit better. It's partial service which means you order at the counter, but they bring it to your table. I ordered 3 rolls for $12 I think and I also ate an order of crispy beef wraps which are really beef wontons. Check out the color of the tuna! It's dark red. It was fatty and delicious. I'm looking online and I can't really decide what that color means. It's probably a bluefin. When meat is fresh and exposed to the oxygen, the myoglobin causes it's color to change to dark red and then brown, so it could be an indication of freshness. We know that no sushi is fresh in terms of never been frozen. It's actually required that it be frozen to kill parasites. At any rate, the freezing process doesn't affect the process of oxidation. What does affect oxidation is gassing the fish with carbon monoxide. This causes it to retain its color for appearance even after the fish has spoiled. So without knowing for sure if the fish was fresh or gassed, it did have a brilliant color and tasted good. The smoked salmon in the philly roll also tasted great. The shrimp tempura roll was excellent too. I really liked the beef wontons which they call the crispy beef wrap. I found they were better to dip into the miso broth than in the sauce they came with. I ate 3 rolls, an appetizer, had tea, and paid tax for just under $20. I think that's good. The place is very nice, but it's a bit small. There's no ice or soda machine. The iced tea is pre packaged in a styrofoam cup with no ice. There aren't many tables. There's only one bathroom so beware. I'm pretty sure I didn't see alcohol. I'm not complaining about any of these things. Just pointing them out. Oh. And I'll be back!

Cajun chicken wings
Ying W.

Best and largest shrimp fried rice anywhere I tried (Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago,Nashville, Tennessee). And wings are awesome. Critical of all food places I tried since I travel a lot and tried many places. I would highly recommend this place.

Gave us rancid beef that was bad and had an odd gray color. Made me gag, we had to throw it away as it was unsafe to consume

We were traveling on a "girls in Memphis" trip and stepped in for dinner on a weeknight. The place…read morewas empty and that gave us a slight hesitation in our step but when we travel, we love finding places that others don't necessarily know about. WOW! So glad we did! Our waitress, Grace quickly became like family with her outgoing personality, attention to detail and knowledge of all the local foodie places to hit up with honest reviews of each. We chatted like we were old friends and she was patient with a few meal adjustments even complimenting some choices saying the chef is going to be so excited to see you ordering filet correctly! (In case you're wondering, always med rare - never well done!) The food was great, the ambience cozy and the service was out of this world! We asked Grace why no one was in? She told us they are one of downtown Memphis best kept secrets but that the chef caters some pretty big local entities. Well, Memphis and those traveling thru, it's high time you know about this place! Extensive menu with sushi choices, hibachi, as well as other options for those seeking options. When you stop in, tell Grace the girls from Michigan say Hi!
