My husband and I are big fans of their Bento Boxes...so we returned for more. As always there was a…read moreline, but this is one of very few places in town that's worth the wait. We both had the Chicken Bento Boxes again...and we loved it. I've had Bento Boxes in dozens of Japanese restaurants, but this place offers such a perfect combination of items (everything we love!)...Tempura, Kaarage Chicken, Shumai, Seaweed Salad, Sushi Rolls, etc.etc. Plus, this bento box includes the salad and soup! Frankly, I wanna try other items on the menu, but I'm so addicted to this Bento Box, I just can't seem to tear away from it. My husband feels the same! Also tried their hot Sake...but think I prefer the cold version. BTW, I noticed some renovations. They now have darker Cherry Wood (?) flooring and cabinetry (behind the sushi station, that is). However, they still have some original light wood chairs and tables. Also, they separated some of the tables (Yay!)...so not as many "communal" tables like before. Anyway, think this is a good sign that this place plans to stay awhile longer!

Could be normal flow to keep up with lunch crowd but there was only one other customer in the restaurant during our entire visit. We ordered the Crispy Smoked Salmon roll to start. Chose Salmon and Filet Mignon Hibachi from the lunch menu. The sushi roll was decent and thankfully was breaded lightly. Sometimes fried rolls can get a bit heavy on breading. The hibachi was okay. The salmon was over cooked and the filet was tender but mushy which made me think the steak may not have been fresh or a bad quality. The menu does offer plenty of variety.

My husband can't seem to deviate from this amazing bowl as well. In any case, both are highly recommended! I also shared their Seaweed Salad appetizer with my husband...and we both agreed that it was really fresh. Few things that could have been better? The overhead music wasn't right...genre (whatever that was playing?!?) was way off for the restaurant. Also, I felt that they might have been understaffed. The place was quite busy (Saturday night), and I didn't see too many waiters-waitresses. Despite the service being a bit slow, our waitress was friendly, and remembered everything that was requested...so not a big issue. Still, we really enjoyed this ramen experience. Really can't think of a time I thought their foods were bad.

Later she had to refill our water because the bartender never came back. Later in the end of our meal we asked him can he check the status of my food and he said it's coming. Later he came back and said your food disappeared so whatever, I ask for the check. Our mood is already not the greatest at this moment. When the check came the bartender still had the charges for the food that we never got so I had to bring it up to him to remove it. Cindy came and apologize for everything that happen. Honestly, CINDY made me change my review. I hope CINDY get the recognition she deserves.

This was, without exaggeration, one of the most disturbing dining experiences I've ever had. Partway through my meal, I discovered a bug in my food. Not only is that completely unacceptable, it raises serious concerns about the restaurant's cleanliness and food safety standards. I understand that mistakes can happen, but something like this is beyond a simple oversight--it reflects a major failure in hygiene and quality control. Needless to say, I lost my appetite immediately and will not be returning. I strongly urge others to think twice before dining here.

The service is always good and pretty fast.

Sushi? Chinese noodles? Chinese BBQ? KOREAN? Yup you can have it all! My wife and I tried food from three stalls and I'm not going to lie, there was not one disappointing bite. A lot of thr stalls have self-service kiosks too, so ordering is easy if you need pictures. The only small gripe is that everything is a tad on the expensive side for asian food. Is it worth it?

The service is always quick and all operate similarly with giving you a device that will ring and vibrate when your food is ready for pick up- rather that is to go or to eat in. The ambience is very cool surrounded by art in the walls and decor that feels like you are outside in a food fair. My daughter and I live coming here ordering 3 different things and having that be our weekend meals. Also it's great that is adjacent to an international supermarket that you can do some shopping.
