I stopped here while driving through the area. It's right off Highway 29 in a large shopping center area. The food was good and the service was great - very friendly and welcoming. It seems like most of their orders are take out, but the dining area was very clean and well-decorated. I got Hibachi Chicken and it was delicious. It looked nicely prepared when it came out and tasted as good as it looked. read more

I was really excited to try my first poke bowl and this place looked really good. I placed a to-go order online for a bowl with shrimp tempura. I picked up my order and the receipt was correct, but when I got back to the hotel, I realized they had given me raw salmon instead of shrimp tempura as it said on the receipt. A little disappointed, but the salmon and the rest of the bowl was decent. I also ordered it with teriyaki sauce but it was barely noticeable, if there was any sauce on it at all. Would have loved some extra on the side. Overall, decent food, just double check you get what you ordered. read more

Had to wait in line to order at the counter- waited 25 mins for an order for two people- our sushi roll came out first and was good- the bathrooms were neglected, out of toilet paper and the paper towel dispenser was off- only realize AFTER washing my hands that were now wet. Food was OK, nothing fantastic, would not stop here again read more

Everyone was pretty nice b it I wish for dine it it wasn't paper plates and to go containers and pay before you get your food. The food was ok. The lumpia was amazing the rest was just ok. read more

Been here a few times and tried several items because it's the only sushi place within walking distance from my hotel, but I hate to say it's consistently mediocre to slightly disappointing. Step it up guys! read more

Sushi is room temperature garbage. Didn't even finish half my meal. Maybe go with hibachi

wanted something quick and light..... so tried here. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful for the price.

I personally love their veggie hibachi, but I chipped a tooth once on a crab rangoon from there. So, the food is good, but I need compensation for the missing piece of tooth in my right canine. Just kidding. read more

Suzaku Cafe is a welcoming environment with great food! What sets it apart is the kind and hardworking staff, they are the best. 10/10

The food was fast and tasty! Bang for your buck you get a ton of quality food. It's an order at the window and then be seated with a number set up. I had the chicken with noodles and they were really good! The sushi roll was a spicy salmon read more

Hit or miss. Been here plenty of times because our kids like it, but my wife and I find the food inconsistent. Tried sushi once, but definitely have had better elsewhere. Popular dishes are the hibachi plates with brown rice and vegetables. Yum yum sauce a favorite. If in the area, try it once. read more

The fish was fresh and sushi burrito was so good I had to get a second! The smoothie was also great! The ladies that helped us were so so nice and upbeat! They make the place so welcoming. read more

The food was really good and exceeded all my expectations. The service was also really good and it's Filipino owned, so I was able to connect with the employees really well. I was here with a friend eating lunch and the ambiance was set really well. If you're craving sushi or other asian cuisines, this is the place! read more

Probably won't come back, went a little late in the evening but more than a hour from closing and felt pretty empty. Food took an average amount of time to arrive, wasn't the best quality although it did look good, workers were nice no blame on them. For the price, didn't seem like it was worth a second visit. read more

We ordered to go from this restaurant and it was very disappointing. We ordered the filet and it was dry and barely looked like steak. This meal wasn't worth the money spent on it. read more

Food is overly sauced- unfresh fish flavor masked by over saucing. Orange chicken soggy because of sauce. Fried rice- undercooked cooked grains. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Pretty good - especially for the price. Philly & California rolls were fresh. Green tea is "kinda good", according to my nephew. ;) read more

Not the best but not the worst. Definitely over priced for what you get. I got hibatchi shrimp and what I thought was veggies but the only veggies I got were onions and broccoli. The cream cheese wonton was hard and lacked flavor. The California roll was small and the miso soup tasted off. We can safely say this was the first and last time here. Maybe we just hit it on a bad night and time for a Tuesday and 5:17. read more

Great no-frills sushi joint. No Waite service, as you order from a kiosk. Everything is served on paper plates. Food is delicious. Everything from the Poke bowl to sushi. Prices fair. Service really good. Especially liked the touch of the free sugar donuts that were brought out to our large party to enjoy as a dessert. Will make this a regular go-to when @ Liberty. read more

A personal favorite of mine! Big fan of their orange chicken, hibachi, sushi, and boba. Service is decent, waiting time varies. But I've loved every meal I've had here, and I always try to make a stop when I'm in town. read more

I ordered a poke bowl with tuna on sushi rice topped with masago, crab sticks, and takuan with the classic poke sauce. This was a such a delicious combination! There was quite a bit of rice packed down at the bottom compared to the amount of protein and toppings though. I also ordered a thai tea with boba, which had a very artificial, powdery taste. The tapioca pearls were hard instead of chewy. I would only come back here for the poke bowls and to try their hibachi. read more

My daughter loves it I love it!! Love the bobas too!!! Definitely should try!!! It's worth it!!!

The boba is amazing if you're coming here for Boba you're in the right place. I had the Thai tea and my daughter and husband had the strawberry, all delicious. The service was friendly and fast. The food however was a little disappointing. The prices are reasonable, but the food just wasn't that great. The rice was dried out and my steak was mediocre. The chicken hibachi was more like chicken teriyaki. I recommend for boba, but the food just disappointed me unfortunately. read more

I'm obsessed with their hibachi chicken, it's amazing every time. The service is great and the workers are so kind.

Everything is just pretty mid-tier. Small chunks of Filet-Mignon, hard, chewy chicken, unimpressive portion of veggies... tapioca in the bubble tea was all clumped together and dry + starchy in the middle. Brown sugar flavoring tasted like the corn syrup I had on my Eggo waffles as a kid. Bathroom wasn't very clean (at least the sink, mirror, and soap dispenser). Service wasn't bad, but wasn't particularly friendly either. All that considered, it was still quite expensive. If you're willing to drive, just go to Mizumi downtown... similar prices for better quality in every department. read more

Food wasn't terrible, I had the Nori wrap with spicy salmon and a milk tea. The wrap was good enough but just a little bigger in size than most sushi rolls. The bubble tea tapioca pearls were not all the same consistency some being less done than others. All in all I might try it again... read more

This is one of my verrrrry favorite spots to eat in LYH. They've got a solid hibachi menu, great options for sushi, and some of the best boba in town! I love to just get sushi from here as the prices are pretty incredible for the amount of sushi you get! I prefer the simpler rolls, and every time I go they prepare them fairly quickly and with care. They also pile a tonnnn of toppings on, like masago or tempura flakes, and sometimes it feels a biiiiit overkill, but it doesnt take away from the quality and quantity of the sushi at all. The hibachi is pretty decent too. If I order hot food from here, I normally get something classic like hibachi chicken, but I also like to check their board for specials as they often have pretty cool options. I'd also be remiss without mentioning the boba--it's soooo so great. I always go for the coconut flavor with bubbles and it never disappoints. The staff is friendly, the food is great, and it's right off of Wards road. Pretty perfect if you ask me. Can't wait to visit again soon! read more

Great sushi. Nice people. Okay seating. I go often for a quick lunch or takeout. But not a place to go for a nice sit down dinner.

Great hibachi! Veggies were perfect, chicken was really good. Staff is always polite. Best YumYum sauce in town!

Our first time trying this establishment, and it was absolutely amazing!! The temperature of the food was EXCELLENT. The flavor of the food was INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!! And the service was also GREAT!!! The best Orange chicken we've ever tasted, and my Hibachi steak and shrimp were sooo tender!! The shrimp egg roll was soo good I forgot to use the sauce!! Can't wait to go back!!!!! read more

Let me preface this by saying that I love hibachi more than most things in life. To the point where I can be extremely forgiving on how "good" it is because it's all still good to me. This was the worst hibachi I've ever had. Never in my life have I left a meal unfinished (unless I was saving my leftovers). The entire meal was severely lacking salt, or anything reminiscent of flavor. Thank god they were generous on the yum yum sauce because I literally had to smother it over my entire meal to be able to get some down. Unfortunately, I can't say the service was a whole lot better either. I'm not from the area so I can't make a better recommendation, but I see there are some of other hibachi places around, and I'd bet you'd do better there than here. read more

Getting lunch before picking up Rachel and heading to MB. Gonna get the sushi I've been craving & never got the other day. I got the Fairy Roll, Wifey got the steak & shrimp hibachi, and I also got the steak & chicken fried rice. read more

Definitely don't judge by the outside. The view inside isn't the most aesthetic but the sushi that comes from behind the counter is pretty good. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't have house fried rice but the shrimp fried rice was a good substitute. I noticed the menu also offers coffees and bubble tea. read more

Good food, huge portions for the price, and great service! I recommend the hibachi chicken! The chicken fried rice was nothing special, so I'd forgo that. read more

I love Boba Tea so I ordered myself one, however the boba pearls were not cooked properly. They were a very awkward texture.

Such a friendly staff!! They are always so kind! Great place to get food to go or sit down. Love the sushi crepes and poke bowl. Their food is a little dry, but they have a lot of sauces. Their bubble tea is also good. read more

tl; dr: Cheap Japanese with friendly service. Food is what you'd expect. I'd recommend hibachi or a specialty sushi roll. The service is on point. I went on New Year's Eve, and they gave everyone a fortune cookie, a Hershey's chocolate, and season's greetings on the house. Definitely a high point. If I had to describe Suzaku in one word, it would be "coherent," which is better than a lot of places do. Mediocre coffee with sky-high prices, anyone? You catch my drift. Suzaku doesn't fall for those traps. The simple sign outside matches the simple layout inside, which in turn matches the simple food, which matches the simple (read: low) prices. Getting a meal is quick and easy. You go up to the counter, place your order, pay, get the food 10-15 minutes later, and eat. No two ways about it. Here's the catch. Suzaku knows what it's doing, and it does a fine job at that. But what Suzaku does is cheap, Americanized Japanese food. Yes, there is a time and place for cheap, Americanized Japanese food, but I've had better and worse Asian spots in the same price range. Suzaku is caught between holes-in-the-wall that sugar-bomb everything on the menu and havens serving a bargain bite of authenticity. The food proves this point. It's pretty hit-or-miss. My teriyaki steak and veggies were far from sugar-bombed. The steak was well-cooked; the mushrooms were thick and juicy; and for the first time in my life, I actually wanted to eat zucchini! Contrast this easy winner with the rice it's served on: sticky and flavorless. It practically begs for a packet of soy sauce, a real shame considering how much I had left after my steak was done. For another angle, take the sushi. On the creative, yummy end there's the red dragon roll. 8 pieces of tempura shrimp, tuna, tobiko, etc. for only $10! It tastes as good as it sounds. Bonus points for being cheaper than the MUCH simpler sushi trays at Fresh Market. On the standard, iffy end there's the tuna roll. You get seaweed, tuna, rice, and that's it. This would be great if the ingredients were fresh and high-quality. I'll just say I choked two pieces down and called it at that. If you know what you're looking for, and what you're looking for is good-value Japanese, Suzaku will deliver. You might even get an extra treat from the owners. Just keep your hopes at a safe level. read more

Food is delicious and at a great price. For me they've been consistent and I appreciate that! The yummy sauce is not too thick and not too thin. Some places it's runny like water- but this is perfect and taste delicious! They've hit the spot for some quick hibachi! I can't speak on anything else there- but I'm happy with what I've purchased! read more
