    Erin Q.

    I'm going with a four because the food and our chef were awesome. I loved my sushi roll. It had coconut shrimp and mango and was delish! My hibachi was great too, but by the time I shared the sushi roll, ate the soup and salad, I was pretty full! Honestly, if it hadn't been for those highlights, the rating would have been so much lower due to the lady who provided our drinks and would occasionally check on us. Absolutely zero friendliness. It would seem as though she was either having a really bad day or just generally hated her job. It definitely brings the vibe down.

    Hibachi was great! The Spider Roll with soft shell crab was great! Kiddos said it was the best fried rice & I think I have to agree with them! The soup was very flavorful, also! Our scallops and steak were cooked perfectly! Service was fast & friendly! The restaurant was clean and welcoming!

    Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box Lunch Special

    It was average. I don't think that the $10.50 bento was worth it, I wish there were more options like tempura. I'd pay a couple dollars for something better. The hibachi grill show was nice and they were fast. I went on a field trip with my students and they had a blast. Soup and salad were great. Con: my coworker ordered the scallops and got sick from it so steer clear from the seafood.

    The Asparagus And The Peanut Avocado Rolls

    Tanuki is another sushi place in Powell. It's located near Giant Eagle. This is part of a strip mall. It's not the best atmosphere. They overcome it with pretty good food and good portions. It has a pretty large space inside. It's bigger than you think a strip mall place would be. The place looks pretty clean. It has the main bar area. There's also a dining room. had an asparagus roll and a peanut avocado roll. It's about $3.50 for each roll. This is pretty good because these are large. It has several TVs in the bar. Service is pretty attentive without being annoying. The value for this is pretty good because of the big portions.

    Lobster Roll
    Hugh W.

    I ordered the lobster roll, which has lobster tempura in it. Definitely disappointing as you couldn't even taste the sliver of lobster in each bite as it was all tempura. It could have zero lobster in it and it would taste no different as the cream and mango mask of the lack of anything else. Shrimp fried rice was disappointing as well as it was bland with a sprinkling of egg and cut up pieces of shrimp. Overall, below average and highly priced.

    Allegedly spicy shrimp roll

    At a loss for words. We were told it would take 15 minutes to be seated- not even at the hibachi table. We weren't seated for about an hour. Then once we ordered it took about at least an hour to get our food, which was horrible. I can say with confidence that this is the worst sushi I have ever had. The "sushi" was full of tempura and no fish at all. My friend's "sushi" was straight up purple.

    Today is my first one ordering from this place, and to be honest, I'm quite disappointed. I was expecting a bigger size and believe that you actually get more from grocery store sushi. All of 4 items came up to 38 ish which I think it could be better for that price.

    Don't put so much tempura in your spicy rolls as it makes it pasty and ruins the rolls.

    Song Lan is one of my favorite restaurants in Dublin. I've always had good food - great taste and…read morehigh quality. I was meeting friends at North Market for dinner, so I grabbed take away from Song Lan. I typically order their rolls but heard great things about their other entrees and decided to get the Chicken Hibachi. Generous portion of white chicken meat in classic hibachi sauce with carrots, onions, broccoli, zucchini, and snow peas. Also came with white rice and a salad! Super filling and had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. I also ordered the Coconut Shrimp roll (minus mango due to allergies) to share with friends. It was okay - I'm sure it would be a lot better with the mango. I'd likely get their Spicy Tuna Roll in the future if I want a smaller one - or I'd go for my favorite of the Angry Lobster Roll or the Pink Lady Roll. The team there are always friendly, helpful with recommendations, and I've had fairly quick service even on their busy nights.

    I honestly don't even know where to start with this place. We showed up with a group of 9 people --…read morenot exactly a wild number -- and they flat-out refused to seat us... while the restaurant was basically empty. Like, I could count the number of tables occupied on one hand. No real explanation, no attempt to accommodate, just a hard no and a shrug. It felt less like a restaurant and more like we accidentally walked into some kind of private club we weren't cool enough for. What's even more frustrating is that we weren't trying to be difficult -- we were ready to wait, split tables, whatever -- but they didn't care at all. Just zero effort. I've never been turned away from an almost empty restaurant before, and honestly it was kind of surreal. Ended up taking our business somewhere else where they actually wanted customers. Funny how that works. Would not recommend unless you enjoy being ignored and turned away for no reason.

I walked in, I was standing at the hosted stand, waited for literally 5 minutes, I almost turn around and walk out, how do you let a customer standing at the front for 5 minutes? Since it was my first time, I'm not sure do I seat myself or someone will come up and help me seated. I saw 1 waitress working, she was pouring drinks for a table of 8-10 people, for a bit, i seriously thought she's the only one working at the front. Finally, another waitress came out from the back. I seated, already not happy with the service for a first time customer. The other waitress came, asked me what I like to drink. I looked over the menu, and read some the options, seem like the popular dish is the $12.99 lunch bowl, waitress came back, no drink. Asked me ready? Help yourself. Huh? I'm like no I'm not ready, where is my drink? I seriously wanted to walk out. I'm like okay, give it a chance. She came back with my drink, asked me again, I told her, I never been here, how is this work? She said you can take the $12.99 lunch special, or you can do the special combo, which includes drink, appetizer and I think the California roll for $19.99. I told her just do the $12.99, and she told me take this empty bowl and go get my own food, they cook it for you. I'm still very confused, they give you a card, write down your name and your table number. So I'm thinking maybe I take the card with me, I took whatever I like to eat, and leave the card with my bowl for the cook. After few minutes, I was t really sure, do I go get the food myself or the server going to bring the food to me? Very confusing, I read the other Yelppies wrote the server is very helpful to her, but I gotta say, not at all during my visit. Food is okay, nothing so special except is cheap, $12.99 lunch special Very bad experience for sure You all can go tried, you maybe like it, but don't expect anyone will help you

We've…read moredriven past it quite a few times and had heard great things about it so we decided to finally try it. I ordered the Chicken Stir Fry and my husband ordered the Beef Stir Fry. I love that they have brown rice as an option for the base! The chicken and veggies in my bowl were cooked nicely and were abundant! The brown rice was a little greasy but the meat and veg were not. I got the Hibachi sauce and it was tasty! We also ordered one order of steamed gyoza and one order of fried gyoza. The fried ones were deep fried which was a surprise because the picture on the menu looked as though they were pan fried. I really enjoyed the steamed one! We will definitely order again! They have a huge menu and I'm excited to add some sushi to our next round!

Now my life has changed, and I can take advantage of lunch at these places. Completely empty at noon on a weekday, a little disturbing. But, better than not being able to get in. Classy inside, nice seating options, quiet and pleasant atmosphere. Excellent service throughout. Large sushi menu, plus hot entrees, many apps, etc. A lot I wanted to try. But I had to start with the crab Rangoon tarts. Never seen it this way. Three fairly small tartlets, nice crust, with a dollop of "Rangoon" filling. Could have used more in each tart, but tasty enough. The sauce is a little zippier than most for crab Rangoon. Good, different, not amazing. And that pretty much describes the rest of the meal. Were my expectations too high? Nothing was bad, everything was pretty good, but not amazing. I had the Red Scorpion roll next. Mid-sized, a nice roll of kani, tuna, avocado, and more, topped with several sauces. Barely fit each piece in my mouth. Tasty, but again not amazing. Not what I expected from a place like this with reviews this high. A little heat, far from the spicy suggested by the name and reviews. Also had unagi and toro nigiri. Again, good, not great. Neither was as tender as I'd hoped, though decent all in all. Flavors were good on the unagi, and the toro was somewhat buttery/creamy but not on par with others I've had. Hmph. Cost was not bad, considering the decor of the place and that it's sushi. I left full but not overstuffed. I'd come back, maybe for a date night. But it's not incredible, and I guess I fell for the buzz.
