Super Dragon Roll

Awesome service and huge selection of foods, I would recommend it. 10/10 on taste enough room for the whole family.

Las Vegas roll and nigiri

I always love this place. Their food is good a d my husband likes the sushi! Although we did show up at 11am when they opened and I was freezing! I would wait a couple hours until it warms up!

Nice place to go to! My friend and I were super hungry and I was craving sushi like there was no tomorrow. Usually, I don't like eating sushi at a non-sushi place, although this place was called Umai Bento.. There were mainly other entrees too... not just solely sushi. Although, I have to admit, the sushi was quite delicious! I believe, I ordered the Albacore Nigiri Sushi, which was a decent size and mmm, I want some now. My friend ordered the shrimp tempura roll I think? I also ordered the Red Dragon Roll (worth it) and we also ordered a spicy chicken teriyaki bento with an additional tempura vegetable side! Yummy.... I seriously want some sushi right about now.

Came for dinner last night and it was everything I expected. When they first opened this location,…read moreI had tried it and there were a couple of environmental things (it was super cold inside) that I didn't like, so I waited to do this review to fix some of the issues. The food is still top notch and the service is speedy. But the restaurant is now very warm. The floors are really slippery so be careful, but it's a nice fast paced Chinese restaurant you can get dim sum instead of the normal yum cha times of seattle Chinatown. If you want really good Chinese food at breakneck speeds, want to feel like you're at your Chinese ma's house as she's yelling at the kids in the background, this is it! We even had a loud Chinese conversation that I had to tell my husband "shes not angry, just very busy and trying to get orders out". The only annoying thing is their uber eats notification is consistently on fire. Dinged enough to notice it through the entire meal.

I can't say how much I am glad that they exist here in Tacoma. Esp. Now that their Seattle location…read morehas closed. I have been here multiple times - take out orders, uber eats, group gatherings, even by myself. Each time I have been so happy with the food and the taste! It is hard to find good quality Chinese food and this place hits the spot. The service can be better but to me, that's not what I can for and actually adds to the ambience hehe! Good eats and will def come here over and over again.

Sushi & Wok - Mega tuna roll was yummy and extremely big portions

Philly cheese roll Killer shrimp roll…read moreTempura crunch roll Edemame Crab Rangoon Sweet and sour chicken! So I found this place perfect for sushi in our area! They make the rolls friesh- are always fast and super friendly! But when one of us wants sushi and the other doesn't- this spot hits! Because they aren't a one stop shop- they actually do both sushi and non sushi items very well! Loves the sweet and sour!!!! Perfect for when you want a variety!

Ambiance: Typical plaza strip establishment with ample seating and a bar. Quiet and seemingly…read moreclean. Food: Nothing to write home about; unfortunately, the sushi was average. I ordered the Sushi Regular, which comes with 10 chef-picked Nigiri. Sadly, the only fish on that plate that was super fresh was the Tuna. The Yellowtail was very discolored around the edges, had a slight fishy odor, and tasted like it waz about to go bad. The Super White was not as creamy as it typically would be if fresher, but both were still ok to eat. I ordered a Spicy Scallop hand roll, but what came out was a spicy imitation crab hand roll with a couple tiny pieces of something (hard to tell bcs it was minced.) I sent it back bcs who would pay $8 for imitation crab? I do want to point out that this place is trying to pass off Tilapia as Red Snapper. Tsk tsk. It even says it on the menu. Wow. The Miso soup was typical. The Gyoza was flavorless and overcooked. On a positive note, the Spicy & Spicy roll was fantastic. Service: The server/waitress was amazing! Aside from that, this place can do better. No greeting from the chefs when you walk in. When I asked if they would please give me fresh Yellowtail to add to my order, they stated all they had available was what was in the case. BAD! If you have a saavy customer asking for fresh fish, you make it happen bcs it's your opportunity to make things right! The prices do not match the quality here. I had planned on ordering food to go afterward, but changed my mind. Overall, I may give this place another try at some point bcs everyone has "off" days. 3 stars...the extra star is purely for the outstanding server.

Peking Garden - Jjajangmyun

I was looking for a quick and affordable food spot nearby as my boyfriend and I were waiting for…read moreour groomer to get our dogs ready for a wedding. I definitely shouldn't have thought jajangmyeon as my first option but I was also super hungry and it was the cheapest thing on the menu, while I was also thinking it wouldn't take that long. Plus they were open early which was great as we were in the area around 10am! When we arrived, there was a older gentleman who greeted us then looked like he was prepping for the day. He can speak Korean and English just fine too. Once we were ready, we placed an order of jajangmyeon and egg rolls and he brought us out banchan. I did ask for more daikon but he seemed to have forgotten or maybe left as his daughter was there delivering food, tea and taking orders. She was a lot more attentive, she would check in on customers and was very friendly! Also it turns out that my boyfriend's friend who he has known since high school was that female employee, so for those saying the owners have changed, they have not. There is plenty of seating at this food court as well as other options from sushi, Korean food and and this spot that serves Korean-Chinese food. The lighting here is a bit dark but it is light enough to take different photos. It's not too cold nor hot either. You can also leave your plates, utensils and trash on the table and someone will come get it. The jajangmyeon was really good, I was surprised as I feel like there aren't too many places that have good jajangmyeon in Lakewood but I can say it is way better than the other places that serve in the area. I usually don't scoop up the sauce but it was actually really good. They offer kimchi, onion and daikon for their side dishes which I think is perfectly fine. They do offer refills and when I asked for more daikon, the kind female employee even gave me extra vinegar. My boyfriend said the egg roll was pretty good too. We look forward to coming back!

This is my favorite spot at this location. Literally everything I have had from here is amazing…read morelife-changing Chinese food. Plus you get really good kimchi for free. It's amazing services always quick and pleasant. Prices are a little high, but you get a lot of food for the price. The only downside I would say is the ambiance is not that great, it's a food court so... But not like a food court in the mall this is all like authentic food.
