Even the restroom reflected an impressive attention to detail- immaculately maintained and elevated with amenities such as lotion, Q-tips, and climate control. This spot is good for a fancy date night! My husband opted for the lunch special, which included soup, salad, curry, and a side of sushi. He absolutely raved about the curry. I chose the fish wontons alongside the Raleigh roll, which was exceptional; the addition of mango on top was perfect with the lobster tempura for me. I am also always appreciative when a sushi place can accommodate my addiction to add cream cheese to any roll- they made it work! Service was prompt and attentive. The green tea leaned slightly earthy for my taste, but it did little to detract from an otherwise outstanding meal. I would gladly return and recommend this spot to groups seeking high-quality sushi in a polished setting.

Lets start with our favorite. The lamb was so good. We asked them to cook medium because the kids…read morewant it. It comes with 4 racks. The lamb has no smell at all. The sweetness of the sauce makes this a perfect plate. The vegi in this dish is also good paired with the same sauce. Overall this is one of the best lamb and for the price it is so worthy. The Ajisay is also good. But not something extraordinary though. The most disappointment is the love boat. The sashimi does not taste fresh at all. The texture of the tuna makes you feel that it has been in the fridge for few days. The same for the sushi. I thought they would have special fish but just regular tuna and salmon. We substituted the rolls and had to pay $5 extra. I think it is good decision because we enjoyed the Volcano. It is crunchy and abit spicy. The pink lady was also something we never had before so glad we tried it out. We have been to Ajisay a few times but this time it is 50/50.

just now New We have…read morevisited this restaurant for all our family birthdays for years and have been happy until tonight. While the food was good enough, the service, vibe and bill were a huge detriment. First, the server seemed like she didn't want to be there. Didn't bring one of our children her salad even though she ordered an adult meal. The chef was ok but he didn't do the flaming tricks like the volcano. He was mildly engaging. The two worst things were when the bill came and the restaurant tacked on an additional 3% for using a credit card. A lot of places are doing this so ok, but I paid with a debit card and merchants aren't allowed to up charge for that. They did anyway and I didn't really know the law until after we left. The second thing was the gratuity was already added. I don't mind that, especially since we were a party of five, but they calculated the tip based on the food cost AND tax and gave themselves a healthy 22% tip. Then, at the bottom of the receipt was a list of "Suggested Tip Amounts" where they calculated based on the food, tax, and the pre-added tip! Really?? I think a pre-added tip of maybe 18% is appropriate, but not 22%. The service wasn't that good. I let that slide because it was a birthday celebration and I didn't want to be that customer. The final kicker was when we were leaving. Apparently we weren't getting out of there fast enough and my daughter heard one of the wait staff say in Spanish she wanted us to hurry up and leave. Wow. Over-tipping for mediocre service and a bad attitude will not bring us back there. Get your act together, Kaze.

It's not a fancy place by any means, but it seems like it would be comfortable to dine in. And the order was ready on time. Customer service was good. Greeted right away and friendly. Also gave me a free fountain drink w my order. Which is a really nice unexpected touch. Serving size was good, but food wasn't what we'd expected. The hibachi beef was cut up too small so it was a bit dry and not much flavor. Not terrible, but not great either. My rice came w some sort of sauce on it which I wasn't expecting and would have rather had plain rice. Sushi wasn't anything to write home about either. I'd go back for the customer service and portion size, but wouldn't go out of my way to go back for the food. Sad, because we love hibachi and sushi, but it's not up to par, despite having potential :(

Visited Sushi Mon on a recommendation from a local. Initially I wasn't sure about it because…read moreseating was in what seemed to be the lobby of the building it's located in. Later I saw the actual restaurant is a bit small with a few tables and sushi bar so I'm thinking they have out grown their space and after eating the food I can understand how that happened. As mentioned it has a small footprint but we didn't wait long. Our server was very kind and provided excellent service. We started with the gyoza which were out of this world! They had the perfect char on the dumpling without making it too seared. The Sashimi plate was incredible, each piece of fish melted in your mouth. If I have to give one critique I'd say our yellow tail was still a little frozen but that didn't stop me from devouring it. Crispy Salmon Roll was light and refreshing and their Rainbow Roll was like no other I've had. My husband and I have two reference points when it comes to sushi; mine is Japan where I was introduced to it as a young Marine, his is Hawaii where had the most amazing sushi about 5 years ago. Not many places can compare to those experiences but Sushi Mon was VERY close!

They all said it was the best sushi they've ever had. I was super impressed by the expansive drink menu. I ordered a nice red blend and plan to order a Sake flight next time. I loved the atmosphere and didn't realize it was so big inside. Our server was super nice and helpful when ordering. I ordered the teriyaki chicken without onions and our server was so awesome that she let me know that the ginger dressing on my salad contained onions. She wanted to make sure I didn't have an allergy. How amazing?! The chicken teriyaki and the veggies it was served with were absolutely AMAZING! Seriously, IDK what they did to those veggies but this may have been the best meal I've ever had! They gave my husband a scoop of mango icecream with a candle in it for his birthday. Love that! We are looking forward to our next visit to Waraji.

Knowing how quickly their tables disappear, I checked for reservations on the drive over, fully expecting disappointment. Instead, a small miracle: an open table. I booked it before the screen could change its mind. Upon arrival, the host greeted us with the gentle chaos that only a true local favorite can produce. Our table wasn't quite ready "just waiting on a few folks to wrap up" so we lingered near the entryway, watching the ebb and flow of diners. A brief mix-up had us nearly escorted to a table before being pulled back, but within minutes we were seated, no worse for the detour. Our spot was perfect: a front-row view of the sushi bar, where chefs moved with the quiet intensity of people who know their craft is being watched and appreciated. The restaurant hummed around us servers weaving between tables, the soft clatter of plates, the low murmur of regulars who clearly consider this their second home. Our server, whose name I wish I'd caught, was a standout. Attentive without hovering, candid about the kitchen running a bit behind, and consistently thoughtful with updates. His honesty made the experience feel more intimate, more human. Cocktails arrived first, followed by a parade of sushi and small plates. Everything was fresh, balanced, and deeply satisfying, the kind of meal that doesn't need theatrics to make an impression.

We also shared a hand roll, which was a great addition. Fresh, well made, and nicely balanced, with good quality fish and seasoned rice. A solid bite to have alongside the ramen. Overall, everything was filling and genuinely delicious. Ingredients tasted fresh, portions were generous, and the flavors were thoughtfully done.

We had the spicy miso ramen that sported a lot of chicken and a delicious broth. Very bold yet balanced flavors. As for the three hand roll set that we ordered we found out we are not real fans of hand rolls. I should have looked up what makes a hand roll a hand roll. (It's the nori, the seaweed wrapper, that sets it apart in the world of sushi.) The salmon, yellowfin tuna, and crab were so fresh that they tasted fishy to us. Again, I believe it's user error that this dish didn't fly with us. We used the soy sauce mixed with wasabi to disguise the fishy taste. Lesson learned.

All hibachi and teriyaki are made with choice of protein then broccoli, onions, zucchini and mushrooms with fried or white rice. The noodles are made with carrots and cabbage. The ginger sauce for the seaweed salad was thin, watery and lacked ginger taste. But was tangy. The seaweed was placed atop iceberg lettuce with halved grape tomatoes and sliced cucumbers. Most places dont asd seweed to a tossed salad. Dumplings are steamed. Just ok. Crab Rangoon was crunchy, but filling was tepid. As if apps were made first, then sat while the hibachi was made. Hibachi was dry. No sauce/broth per se. Had to add yum yum sauce and soy sauce. The other Sauces were also thin and tangy, no distinct differences. One TV with a sports channel on. Clean, quiet environment. Could hear a fan but didn't feel as if AC was on. We had to leave, it was uncomfortable to eat in. We will try other options next time, but as carryout.
