I enjoyed the food I ordered. I did a poke bowl which it's a create your own like rice or noodles bowl. So, if it doesn't taste well, that's my fault not theirs lol but I enjoyed the items I picked. They did add pineapple when I selected cucumber but I didn't mind. It still tasted good. I'd eat here again, I think. Maybe to try their ramen or a different poke bowl option.

Most of the seats were torn, which was one of the first things we noticed. We grabbed our own menus and waited a few minutes for the waitress to come over. We both ordered waters, but my son's had floating green particles on top that looked like green onions. Instant turn off. I ordered a poke bowl and he ordered ramen. I do wish both dishes would've come out together. Once we started eating, I could tell pretty quickly my poke bowl was anything but fresh. The cucumbers tasted sour, the edamame was mushy, and the amount and quality of the fish was disappointing for the price. My son had a similar experience with his ramen. He said the wontons tasted like nothing, although the broth and noodles themselves weren't bad. This little restaurant honestly has so much potential, which is why I hate leaving a negative review for a mom-and-pop place. But for the prices being charged, the ingredients really need to be fresher. Unfortunately, we would not return

It is most definitely the freshest raw and cooked fish I've eaten in the area !!! The service is amazing as well , they always have smiling faces and welcome in each individual EQUALLY . I'm big on customer service so I love that even if the sushi was bad , the customer service always makes up for it, but I gotta say the sushi is NEVER bad . At all times of the day it's fresh and the price is always fair . Even the other items on the menu such as bang bang shrimp fried rice, vermicelli bowls, and the rice bowls are each very excellent. I LOVE the pandan latte it's so delicious and not to sweet , I highly recommend that you try it ! Each day at around 6:30 or 730 I believe the sushi is 25% off, which is great because they hate throwing it away and they want to sell it and sometimes they just even give it away because why throw out perfectly good food you know ? They make the sushi fresh every single day you can even get sushi made to order if you don't want what's in the refrigerator box but it's all still extremely fresh . I come here at least once a week with my fiancé and we love the place. i've never had tuna tartare but I tried it today and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious. You'll see in the pictures. I'm gonna post !!! Thank you sushi boxx for being such an amazing restaurant !!

Our family sat down and my chair (out of all the chairs) and it made me lean forward and had to swap chairs. Waiter did get our orders for our drinks and gave us our salads and soups while we waited for more people to show up. We are a healthy family and 2 of us do NOT put lemon in our water. And we ALL love water rather than sodas. The WATER WAS AWFUL AND HAD A BAD AFTER TASTE. I even asked for bottle water which I would have paid for but they do NOT SERVE THE EASIEST THING CORRECTLY. Now the 2 of us need a soda. I waived and waived (my waiter was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND) and finally asked for 2 sodas and they sodas NEVER SHOWED UP... we were eating salads and the cook is here now and we STILL have NO DRINKS. After waiving to another waiter (not ours) I stated again and finally we received our sodas. Since I have a tough time swallowing I need drinks and my soda was empty instantly and it took forever for them to refill it as I had to repeat the awful process of getting a waiter. Waiter has vanished and barely see him. The cook was awesome and entertaining but I was do distracted talking to waiters and trying to survive (swallowing because I can choke with no drink) I missed very good parts of the hibachi because of this. Also when the cook got there we ALL had to move seats because one of our family members feet were constantly sliding because she sat at the end (by the cook) because the GREASE MADE IT VERY SLIPPERY Fix the water as it was awful and UN-DRINKABLE. And please have waiters NOT VANISH and especially purposely turn their back to you as they take other orders. Yes that happened also. And clean the floors.

The pho broth is perfectly seasoned and sweet, good topping ratio along with noodles and broth. Super happy lake Charles has something like this now. The first impression and downfall- the person at the counter taking the order does not seem like he cares to be here. It's only me and another couple in the restaurant so it's not busy, but upon sitting down my table hasn't been wiped down and an empty Coke bottle to the side of condiments. He brought my drink and still didn't wipe down the table. He brought out my food shortly after and I asked for napkins to wipe the table down myself and he pointed to the front of the restaurant that there is a box of napkins there.... not sure why there is a tipping option on the kiosk if there's no effort in the job although I did leave a tip.

The fried rice that comes with entrees is quite boring, with almost no other ingredients or seasoning to make it palatable. At least the pork fried rice entree resembled what typical fried rice should taste like. Maybe the buffet is better?
