Umi Ramen is earning an updated review from me. I previously rated them 3 stars due to several…read moreentrée mix-ups, but this most recent visit was a completely different experience...and they absolutely deserve 5 stars now. Service this time was speedy and excellent, and most importantly, all of our orders were accurate. The ramen across the board was delicious, and I didn't notice the overwhelming MSG taste that I had picked up on during a prior visit. We tried the Tonkatsu, Shoyu, and Miso ramen, and all were enjoyed. My son ordered a strawberry milk bubble tea - it was fine, though it tasted more like bottled pink milk than a fresh milk tea. One thing I really appreciated: they don't charge a credit card fee. Instead, they offer a 5% cash discount, which is the right way to handle it (by law). Big improvement all around. Food, service, and the total experience kept us happy. We'll definitely be back again.

I have been dining at Gyuzo Japanese BBQ since they first opened and have always considered it a…read morestrong alternative to Gyu-Kaku. I've visited numerous times and have recommended it to others. Unfortunately, my experience on Saturday, 2/21, was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had, and it completely ruined my 30th birthday dinner. On 2/9, my actual birthday, I dined there with my brother. The manager at the hostess stand informed me that for parties of four or more, the birthday guest eats free as part of their all-you-can-eat promotion. I was told very clearly that I had up to two weeks from my birthday to redeem the offer. Because I enjoyed my experience that day so much, I made plans to return within that timeframe with the required number of guests. On 2/21, I returned with a party of four, followed the instructions given to me, and informed our server that it was my birthday celebration. He acknowledged the promotion and stated he would simply need to check my ID after we finished dining. At no point prior to us eating was there any mention of a "7-day before and 7-day after" rule. This restriction is not listed on the advertisement, not on the menu, and was never communicated to me previously. After we finished our meal is when everything went completely left. The server returned and informed us that the manager on duty would not honor the promotion because it was supposedly limited to 7 days after the birthday. The manager struggled to communicate clearly and insisted this was the rule. I explained that I was told two weeks by prior management and that I returned specifically within that timeframe, bringing the required number of guests. I simply asked that they honor what I had been told. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, I was handed a phone to speak to the owner, Andy. The conversation was shocking. He was rude, condescending, and argumentative. I was told I had "misheard," that they would not change rules "for me," and was even threatened with police involvement if I did not pay the bill. Being spoken to in that manner, in front of my guests, over a promotion that was not clearly advertised, was humiliating and deeply upsetting. After nearly 30 minutes of back-and-forth, the manager ultimately applied the discount anyway. Even with the birthday special applied, our bill still came to nearly $230 before tip, as we ordered multiple rounds of drinks in addition to the $39.90 per person all-you-can-eat. This entire confrontation was over approximately $40. The food at Gyuzo is good. However, management's handling of this situation overshadowed everything. I was made to feel dishonest for simply following the instructions given to me. What was meant to be a joyful 30th birthday celebration turned into an argument and public embarrassment. There was no dessert celebration, no acknowledgment, just tension and frustration. As someone who has worked in hospitality, I understand policies matter. But so does accountability, clarity in advertising, and basic respect when resolving misunderstandings. This situation was mishandled from start to finish. It is extremely disappointing to support a business from its early days, return within the timeframe given by management, and be treated in such a dismissive and hostile manner. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be returning.

This Asian fusion spot in a nondescript plaza has a large menu with a lot of small plates/street food, baos (with varying fillings), tacos/quesadillas/tostadas, curry, traditional Asian dishes, poutine, burgers, noodles like pad thai and plenty of veg-friendly items. We most enjoyed the chicken empanadas (generous filling, good flavor), cod tacos, and vegetarian spring rolls. The tofu lettuce wrap didn't have a strong flavor even though it seemed to have a lot of sauce. The beef Jerky (a bit tough and chewy) and vegetarian dumplings were okay, but not favorite items. We didn't order any items that were larger portion and it's very easy to rack up the bill with $9-12 small bites. Inside, you could forget that you're in suburbia because this place is pretty trendy. There's artwork and words on the wall and the menu tries to be clever (succeeds in some ways but not necessarily to grammar snobs). There's a 3% surcharge for credit card purchases. There's a Chinese food restaurant and Taimoca coffee place in the plaza as well.

My sister and parents want some place healthy and this place is highly recommended. We came in then we sat immediately, not that much people but a lot were calling for a to go order!

It's called ginger lemon honey, you can taste the bits and pieces of all the ingredients, so you know it's not just those little packets of teas! We didn't order any apps because we opted for a bento box, which was A LOT!! They gave a lot of little sides when we were eating. The staffs are also very friendly. Place is also very clean!

Another wonderful soup to try is the new one with the ginseng and chicken (cannot remember the name, but ask your server about the "Korean hot summer soup").

We were sat near a table of Moms who were accompanied by almost a dozen elementary school aged children. Their children were completely out of control... running sprints back and forth in the room, running laps around the tables bumping into other customers chairs, wrestling and laying on the floor and that goes without mentioning the noise. This party was finished eating before we were even sat at our table but the Moms continued to sit and drink for the duration of our entire meal while their children ran wild. At this point the dining room was turned playground and other patrons requested to not be sat for Hibachi. Others had to get up from the room and take a break from the chaos.
