excellent Nigiri and Ramen! We will definitely be coming back!

Family favorite! Staff is always great & sushi is unmatchable. The steamed and/or pan fried Momos are a must!! Ramen bowls are delicious as well.

Went on a girls night and had a nice time. Sushi was amazing and excellent wine choices. Salad was just so so but great appetizers helped. Our waitress seemed to rush us but was otherwise friendly.

I have heard such great things about this place! My friend and I came in on Sunday June 5, 2022 and let's just say it was the worst service I had ever experienced. Our server, I believe the name was Emma, only came to our table a total of 3 times. I am a server at Chucks Fish in the Greystone area, and let's just say I know how this works. We did not have water for almost 10 minutes. When our server arrived to our table, she took our drink and appetizer order all at once, which is fine, but our server did not bring us our drinks or our appetizers, someone else did. The server never asked us how our appetizers were. The server never refreshed our water glasses. When they did finally come back, we ordered our entree's, and someone else brought those out as well. Again, no one came to ask us how our entree's were, neither. While all of this was going on, we could see our server not working. She was being very, I would say almost too friendly, with her coworkers in the back. The restaurant was not busy. The table next to us was having the same issue because they had the same server. The food was wonderful, but I need better service to be able to thoroughly enjoy my meal, especially if I am going to be spending over $100 on my meal. If you do love their food a lot, try the location out in Mountain Brook Village because that is definitely what I will be doing!

One of our favorite restaurants. Especially for lunch, on the patio if the weather cooperates, a glass of chardonnay, maybe the Katmandu turkey burger or one of the curries (so far everything on the menu that we've had is tasty), it's like we're on vacation. Service is friendly and efficient.

Tried this place out on a recommendation, Saturday 3/12/22. It started off bad, and went downhill from there. When we got there, it was extremely cold and people were literally wearing heavy jackets and NOT taking them off. We asked why if they could turn up the heat, but it remained cold. Although the place was not terribly busy, it took awhile for the food to come. When we did get our food, it was not that good. The only reason I gave them two stars (as opposed to one), was because the place itself was pleasant.

It's ok. The combination and dishes seem more interesting on paper. The flavors just don't quite deliver. We had 2 different ramen dishes, a rice bowl, and sushi. They were all good but none will bring us back. The atmosphere and service were good. If we are in the area, we may try it again. But, I don't think it will be something we will go out of our way for.

This place is amazing. Some of the best sushi in Birmingham and the Tako salad might be the single greatest Asian appetizer I've had outside of Tokyo. Eat here tonight!

Great drinks, sushi, and service!! It also has a good relaxing atmosphere. I have eaten here 3 or 4 times and I have never been disappointed.

A new favorite of mine. I'd had this place on the list for a while but now that I've gone, I can't stop going. The service is good, the cocktails are Abhi's take on classics, and the menu is exceptional. I highly recommend the seared momos (appetizer) and the hot Asian (sushi). The Iron bowl is one of my favorites- I get it with shrimp- but it's spicy. It hits the back of your mouth with vengeance but you can handle it. Please go.
Food: This is by far some of the best sushi I've had since I moved to Birmingham. I ordered the Blazer, Wham Bam Birmingham, And Tempura Shrimp roll. All of the rolls were made perfectly and had very good flavors. My personal favorite was the Wham Bam Birmingham roll. The salmon on top was really good with the rest of the roll. Overall I give the food a 5/5 Ambiance: The lighting was soft that made the environment very calming and relaxing. The music playing was at the perfect volume and a good selection. Overall I give the ambiance a 5/5 Service: Our server was Dylan and he was fantastic. We were seated quickly, and he was super friendly. Paid attention to our drinks and refilled them when it was needed. Again he was very nice and friendly as a great server. Overall I give the service a 5/5 Parking: There was plenty of parking, although it was not a very busy night. Overall: Overall I give this place 5 Stars. Everything was excellent from the food to the service. It made for a very pleasant dining experience. I will definitely be dining here again very soon. :)

I have never had a bad meal here. The sushi is delicious. The steam buns are slightly on the sweet side, but that makes then different and unique to the restaurant. The Ramen is amazing. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

I will never be going back here. I got severe food poisoning from the sushi here and was feeling the effects of it for about a week. Extremely expensive for mediocre sushi and small portions. Service was terrible and it took forever to get seated, get a waiter to our table, and even longer to get our food and the check. Only giving two stars because we had a great, hard-working server and the wait time wasn't his fault because they were so short staff. Save your money and go somewhere cheaper.

I recently found the restaurant when going to dinner for a friends birthday a month ago. I think I have gone 4 times since! The ramen is absolutely phenomenal and their sushi is some of the best sushi I've ever had. Me and my boyfriend like to keep it simple with the blazer roll, but it's still amazing and we always are shocked by how good the sushi is. Definitely give this place a go!!!

Great Nepali food . Not much vegetarian options and is very bland . Good place for meat eaters but vegetarian options are limited . Another great collection in summit area which we have visited . Pretty expensive and would categorize as high end . Limited dining space so feels likes crammed.
