    Dining room and sushi bar

    Food was great the service was quick and friendly it is a nice small spot a true pleasant surprise in McCalla.

    We called in an order and came to pick it up. The sign on the door stated it is operating under 50% capacity, but that is completely false TOTALLY FALSE. Every booth and table had customers. . Only a couple seats at the bar were empty The girl behind the counter had no mask. None There is hand sanitizer at the register, but no division between used pens aNd sanitized or clean pens to sign a receipt I only left a 10% tip, when I usually leave 20-25% I will not come back as long as COVID 19 is still spreading Shame on you.

    Tokyo Beef

    My wife and I have tried this restaurant over and over again. We absolutely love their sushi! But their entrees, for the money, don't add up at all! And that's my biggest problem with Takoyaki! This last time we visited was my my last straw! My wife ordered Thai Pan Curry. (I hope that's right) I ordered Tokyo Beef. The portion size on my "dinner" plate was very small! The dinner my wife ordered wound up being a soup based meal with rice! There was no mention of that on the menu! My dish had a ton of sauce on the plate. (More sauce than meat) It's not that their food doesn't taste good. It's the portion size for the money spent! So I decided to finally make a post regarding this restaurant. If you love sushi. This is the place to come. If you want your monies worth for the food you'll receive. This may not be your spot. That's why I only gave them three stars.

    This place is definitely a hidden gem! We had been in the area enjoying the beautiful day and decided to stop in. Upon entering we were told we could sit anywhere and we're the only people dining in. The menu is quite extensive and they offer so many different styles of Asian dishes. We all decided we would share but each order something different. I finally settled on the Beef Rendang and wow was it mouthwatering. It seems like most of the sauces they make are in house and were all absolutely delicious. I highly suggest stopping in for a bite.

    Make Create Your Own A Poke Bowl

    I've ordered the "make your own poke bowl" numerous times at the restaurant & they give you enough for 2 meals. Ordered it to go for the first time & the size of the meal was an appetizer size. $12 for a meal that didn't fill me up & I had to find something else to eat to fill me up. Really upsetting, especially with how expensive everything is now days. I guess I'll only be eating AT the restaurant to get an actual serving size; no more to-go dinner nights if I'm in the mood for good poke bowls.

    Awesome lunch spot to hit w/ my bestie! Great prices! Prefer it over "Ninja" at the Promenade, hands down!!

    Fried calamari
    Maryam S.

    This restaurant was a cute find for date night. It was small and cozy and packed for a Weekday night. Lots of takeout orders too which told us it would be good. I ordered the calamari, the Hawaiian roll and the Mexican roll. The food was delicious and the service was good.

    When I think Panang curry- this is where I go! Fresh, hot, full of sweet hot panang curry! Deliciousness in my bowl! I'm not a huge meat fan but get either chicken or shrimp. I always ask for extra veggies to be added. To me the veggies with the curry is such a wonderful combination. They soak the sauce so well! Served over white rice the hot scale is toned down some. Service is quick and friendly staff. Never had a bad experience! I've had their sushi quite a few times- all has been great! Tip: if you like super scorching hot- just order off the menu. You can request less hot and it'll still be very toasty!

I'm wondering if it was my fault for not ordering hibachi from the demonstration grill, but I was thinking since the restaurant was empty I was going it a service ordering from a table, but my soup and salad came out after my hibachi meal. I think the waiter forgot about it because I had to so if it was still coming. When it did come, the soup looked like mostly water (see photos) and the salad was over drenched in dressing. I've never seen that much dressing in a salad my entire life. The meat wasn't hot but the fried rice really saved the day. It was salty, but I prefer mine that way. I like the location of this place so I'm hoping that next visit will be different.

    Nori Hibachi Ramen feels like three restaurants got trapped in the same building during a storm and…read morejust decided to make it work. Is it sushi? Yes. Is it ramen? Also yes. Is it hibachi? Somehow yes again. Walking in feels like the culinary version of a personality test having a nervous breakdown. The good news is the sushi side of this identity crisis absolutely works. The specialty rolls were creative without crossing into "we put Hot Cheetos and gummy bears on this one" territory. Big flavors, fresh ingredients, and combinations that actually made sense. The nigiri was also excellent. Fresh fish, nicely sliced, clean flavor. No complaints there at all. Then the ramen arrived and apparently the seasoning chef had already gone home for the evening. The broth tasted like somebody whispered "tonkotsu" into a pot of warm water and hoped for the best. It desperately needed salt, MSG, anything that would make it wake up and realize it had responsibilities. Not offensive. Just aggressively average. And then there was the atmosphere. Now to be fair, this was not the restaurant's fault. They got ambushed by what appeared to be an entire youth baseball league celebrating the end of the season. Imagine trying to enjoy sushi while sitting inside a Chuck E. Cheese hostage situation. Kids running everywhere. Screaming. Yelling. One child may have briefly achieved low Earth orbit near the hostess stand. Meanwhile the parents reacted to this chaos the same way people react to a car alarm in a parking lot. Complete indifference. The staff honestly handled it as well as they could. Tuesday is apparently kids special night, so consider this less of a complaint and more of a public service announcement. If you're looking for a quiet dinner, maybe don't roll in during Little League victory parade hours. That said, the sushi was good enough and the restaurant handled the chaos with enough grace that I'm rounding up to four stars. Just know what you're walking into. Come for the sushi. Lower expectations slightly for the ramen. And maybe bring noise-canceling headphones if it's Tuesday night.

I immediately knew that I was going to be happy with my decision to eat here. I started off with the Shrimp gyozas. Since most gyozas are made with pork, I cannot remember eating shrimp gyozas before, and these were phenomenal. I highly recommend that you give them a try. I was pretty hungry, so I decided to order the Sashimi Deluxe dinner. 21 pieces of sashimi seemed pretty ambitious. If I had known how thick the sushi was going to be, I probably would've gone for a smaller dinner, but I'm glad that I didn't know because it was amazing. As for dessert, I always go with Red Bean ice cream. For those of you who have never tried red bean ice cream - you have GOT to try it. I know what you're thinking...red beans and ice cream do not go together, right? Well, you are absolutely WRONG! I don't know what breed of red beans go into this delicious dessert, but it is amazing and incredibly refreshing. Do yourself a favor and drive directly to Samurai Japan...eat until you're totally full...and then order the red beans ice cream anyway. You'll thank me later!

The restaurant wasn't crowded at all, which made for a quiet and easygoing meal. The sushi itself was just okay... nothing particularly memorable, but it satisfied the craving.
