    Yaki soba
    Lindsay I.

    This restaurant isn't that large and on a Saturday evening, they stopped taking parties at 730 before closing at 9. My husband and I were waiting and so was another couple. I'd say 6 couples were turned away after they put the closed sign up and switched off the open light. It was Valentine's Day weekend so idk if this is typical on the weekends Service was a little slow as I think there was only one waiter but he quickly took our orders and brought salad and soup as we waited for our entrees. My husbands yaki soba came before my sushi rolls but it was understandable given the crowd.

    Fried Rice

    Reviews extremely misleading. I am so disappointed and upset that i wasted my special dinner on this place. Got the green dragon and either the seaweed or tempura on the shrimp was extremely stale/hard. There was also the smallest amount of crab in the roll. The Beef yaki soba had 2 small piece of beef and that was it. Fried rice was nothing special. Could've made something extremely similar with microwaved frozen vegetables, rice and soy sauce.

    The sushi tasted very fresh and the service was excellent! I ordered the spicy tuna roll and the Philadelphia roll. Both were very good! Our meals came with complementary miso soup and a salad and both were great. The restaurant was empty at 5PM on a Friday, but don't let that fool you. If you're ever craving fresh authentic sushi, I would definitely come here.

    Chocolate mochi and green tea!

    Sushi Jako is amazing! Everything we had here was delicious and fresh. The service was quick and friendly and the ambience was very nice as well. Can't wait to come back!

    The fish is thick and deliciously fresh! This guy was well trained and it shows! The rice was perfect, the seaweed crunchy yet dissolved and did not over powering the flavor of the fish. I liked it so much I went back!

    Experienced Sushi chef creating the best sushi in Harrisonburg. You will not be disappointed. I recommend going for lunch. The quality is fresh and absolutely delicious.

    Excellent sushi! It's a small restaurant and because there's only one chef, it's a little slow, but great sushi takes time... the rolls will not disappoint.

I guess I should've known better, but the make your own drink was mediocre because the guava option was based off a not-so-yummy juice. So next I ordered a drink off their menu and it was just alright. Honestly, I'd just skip out on drinks next time, but it was New Year's Eve so.. I did try to ask our server for drink reccs but she was 20.. So, we really enjoyed our ramens. Even the veggie ramen that I ordered, with a clear broth, was quite tasty - I've had clear broth options that were less flavorful. We also ordered a few additional appetizers. We shared some bao buns which were excellent, my partner ordered some meat skewers and I ordered a salmon nori taco. All in all, a great little shop. We considered coming back later on our trip but decided to explore elsewhere.

I came with a particular need to get something that was both flavorful but not overly traumatizing for an ailing stomach. A miso ramen fit the bill nicely. While Japanese, the menu is vegetarian-friendly and offers ample customization. My ramen was tasty, but I did feel a bit shorted by getting only one marinated tofu sheet to finish off at the end. I needed some sushi to feel full, and fortunately, their inari with a seaweed salad filling were delicious, arguably more so than the ramen. A tea from their boba menu delivered some nice chia seeds and strong flavor, albeit with an aftertaste. I wouldn't say that my bar for ramen was reset, but as a regular driver along I-81, I felt good about having made this stop and wouldn't mind repeating it.

Arrived early and witnessed the chef, double up on two patrons and significantly slight my 2 orders To-go. Nah, H*** Nah... that wasn't cool. To Go order cost more, yet we receive less. Makes no sense! I only dine at locally owned establishments to support them. Yet, I will not recommend a place that takes advantage of their customers. Dine in was beneficial for the 2 customers at the hibachi table who received more of our food, yet was a costly mistake for our take out. Shrimp were also the size one would find in shrimp salad. itsy bitsy teenie weeny. 80 bucks for this???? Stay clear, many more better choices.

I went into this unique place called Beyond Restaurant and Lounge which offers a variety of cuisines from multiple cultures. I ordered 5 items: 1) Chicken Lettuce Wraps 2) Pork Bánh Mi 3) Pork Dumplings 4) Pineapple Fried Wontons 5) Summer Rolls. The pork fried dumplings were crispy, compact filling and they delicious. I was a little surprised with the chicken lettuce wraps when it arrive to the table. The minced ground chicken mixture with herbs was tasty which were served with fried rice noodles but unfortunately the iceberg lettuce didn't allow you to complete the wrap. You were only able to make 4 actual wraps and after that you just have to eat the items individually. I wish it was served with butter lettuce or something that can better cup the mixture. The summer rolls were good and generous portion filled with shrimp, pork, vermicelli, herbs and a peanut sauce. The fried wontons were stuffed with cream cheese, pineapple, garnished with diced pineapple, bell peppers served with a pineapple relish. It was different from your typical cream cheese, it was good. The highlight of this trip was their pork banh mi. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outer layer and inside was soft, fluffy filled with tender pork, pickled carrots and daikon; cilantro, mayo spread and served with fresh sliced jalapeños. After the first bite, I wasn't able to just take one bite. It was amazingly delicious. The restaurant is clean, filled with beautiful decor, has a bar, offers interior and exterior seatings, and all staff are friendly. Our server was Kim and she is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Since it's a 2.5 hour drive, it was definitely worth it. I would make another visit and try other items on their menu.
