I was very fortunate to come here with a very good friend as an invited guest. Such a great selection of sushi and sashimi. It was superb. Also, my favorite was King Crab. Since it was Omakase, I can't tell you what the regular menu is, but I can definitely tell you what was prepared for me was perfect!

Out of Uni and out of Toro…read more This place offers japanese, Chinese and Thai cuisine. It's a mix of everything. I suspect they output more Chinese dishes than anything. A bit disappointed in them being out of two staple items on a Saturday, when the place was pretty empty. Oh well. Not bad. Not great. Only ordered sushi. Seems like we should have ordered some cooked dishes. I regret not trying a Chinese dish. As far as sushi goes, this wouldn't be my go to, with some awesome choices very close by. Service was OK. They decided to give us wine that had been opened at least the day before, if not longer. We sent it back. At least they acknowledged it was opened previously. The interior is dated. In the winter, when people come in or out, there is a massive blast of cold air.

One recommendation I will make: sushi is their strength and is the best value compared to other items on their menu. The shrimp and veggie tempura is also great.

I finally got takeout at Ginger exchange express in Arlington Heights last night. There was a…read morecoupon on Grubhub and we managed to get dinner for four delivered for under $80. (Thanks inflation.) I got the bokbok chicken (which didn't have any vegetables other than a few slices of cucumber - next time I'll get a side of veggies), my husband got an udon dish. My daughter got tofu lo mein with vegetables, and my son got the beef bibimbap. There is also a sushi menu, but none of us tried it. I'd say it's good for Asian fusion. We will probably order again soon because we are often craving multiple cuisines and Ginger exchange offers that. Possibly the best part is that the portions were large enough that we had leftovers for dinner tonight!

Three entrees and an order of dumplings was $85 for delivery. Highway robbery! After one bite of the drunkards noodles, I was angry at how bland it was.

I only got delivery so I do not know anything about their service or ambience…read more I got the Sushi Pizza and the great gatsby roll. Right off the bat, I would get the sushi pizza again but not the great gatsby roll. The sushi pizza is one of the more unique dishes I've gotten at a sushi place. The "dough" is rice and seaweed deep fried into a tempura and the toppings are salmon, tuna, avocado, spicy Mayo and jalapeño. I thought it was a good blend of the fried tempura, freshness of the sushi, and kick of spicy. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The great gatsby roll was just okay, nothing too special. I felt the filling of spicy tuna really overpowered the torched salmon. Also, the rolls that arrived did not look like the picture on Uber east at all. The pieces of torched salmon were not consistent at all with about half of them being half the size as the others. I would maybe try another, simpler and cheaper roll if I were to order from here again, but for sure getting the pizza. I don't order sushi that often but when I am in my next sushi mood this place will definitely be part of the consideration right off the bat.

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a mediocre experience. Ponzu is a Japanese/Korean…read morerestaurant in downtown Waltham with seating indoors exclusively. Started off with the tempura appetizer and it was ok. There were a couple pieces of shrimp along with a few pieces of fried vegetables. The batter was different than what I'm typically used to in Japan... The miso black cod was tiny and more of an appetizer. It was nicely seared on the side and I found the sauce a touch too overpowering... Staff was courteous and sweet. She checked up with us throughout the evening.

A variety of dishes that need work, but overall made for a good experience…read more The agedashi tofu was decent, if sometimes the batter was a bit thick. The sashimi salad was a bit of a miss, as there were only four slices of fish, and then some iceberg lettuce (!) that was underwhelming for the price paid. The beef negima, beef rolls, were decent, though sometimes the beef was a bit tough. The mains were a hit and miss; the tofu soondubu was the better of the two, with tofu that retained its heat well, nicely diced vegetables in the interior, and a decent flavoring in the hot soup. The rice was a good texture. The Nabe Yaki Udon had a soup that I didn't find super compelling; it seemed a bit artificial, but not enough complexity at the same time).

I wish Yelp had half stars, because this is probably a 3.5 for me, and I feel torn writing this…read morebecause there really is a lot I liked about this place. It's in a lovely neighborhood, and the restaurant itself is small, cozy, comfy, and pleasantly quiet. The servers were very nice, and the sushi was beautifully presented. I especially liked the little details on the plate, like the orchid and the leaves arranged upright in the slit cucumber so that they almost looked like a little flower arrangement. It was a really pretty touch and made the whole plate feel thoughtful and elegant. It also clearly seems to be a neighborhood spot that locals really enjoy. The strange thing was that I didn't have much of a reaction to the sushi itself. Usually when I eat sushi, I'm thinking something, whether it's "wow, this is really fresh," "this is delicious," or even just "this is pretty solid sushi." Here, I mostly found myself eating it without thinking much at all. Nothing was bad, but nothing particularly stood out to me either. I do wonder if I ordered too conservatively and would have had a different experience with one of their more elaborate rolls or specials. I also found the sushi rice unusually plain. I'm used to sushi rice having at least a subtle vinegary, seasoned quality, and I found myself missing that here. That may have been part of why the sushi felt a little flat to me overall. One aesthetic detail also threw me off more than I expected: some of the cat artwork on the walls appears AI-generated and includes pseudo-Japanese/Chinese characters that look like gibberish. This probably bothers me more than it would most people, but it did make an otherwise cute and cozy space feel a little less thoughtful to me. I can completely understand why this place has neighborhood fans, and I do plan to come back and try something different. My first visit just landed somewhere between "hmm, decent" and "quite good" for me, hence the awkward 3.5 that Yelp won't let me give.

The boba is pretty good too. I miss when I was right next door and getting it every week. They have tablets to order on or you can give your order to a cashier -- service is quick and pleasant. They have tables to dine in and free fruit flavored water to drink. It gives local boba shop w fluorescent lighting type vibes. It's popular with the local college kids despite having a competing chain nearby. (I do like pokeworks but I would kill for a Waikiki near me). My only complaint is they have no rewards program (like Pokeworks does). I guess they know the food is good enough to not need it ‍
